Her debut solo album Real Life is a dreamy, exciting listen. Her songwriting is just so strong throughout, with standouts including "Christobel", "Flushed Chest", and the absolutely sublime "Eternal Flame". Vocally, she's been compared favorably to Chrissie Hynde, Dusty Springfield and Nina Simone - some pretty impressive company, and JAPW can certainly hold her own up against those big names. As a songwriter, she has the ability to mesmerize or energize. Her voice is her secret weapon... it holds each one of these songs together, and has that rare ability to just take the listener away. Yes, she's really that good.

Already very well known in Europe, there is absolutely no reason that she can't achieve the same kind of success here in the states. Very highly reccommended...
