Une voix magnifique, une guitare aux accords parfaits, une ambiance chaude qui vous met en condition pour écouter cet album jusqu'au bout.
Merci et bonne continuation.

This is the first non-demo/EP by No, Really (Hannah Clemens), the slightly electro folk singer/songwriter, to show up on Jamendo. A lot of the tracks you may have heard before, so if you have already checked out No, Really, don't expect too much new in the way of songs. However, the recording quality is amazingly crisp and the performance is very well executed. I originally listened to her demo and EP, thinking "I see potential, but she's not there yet." She's there now.

No, Really has introduced a great new sound into this full album. You will notice an electronically induced slightly distant resonating/echoing quality in her voice as well as a slower more deliberate pace in the music. Perhaps it is just me, but I think that a few more instruments appear in this work as well. There is a little bit of violin that really adds a fine polish to the album.

Check out the first track, "Molten" to get an idea of what you are going to get in this album. This was probably her best track before the new album, so you will be able to compare the sounds and see the huge improvement.

In summary, this will really impress the fans of No, Really's Demo and EP. The improvements made are fantastic, and the sound is acoustic beauty with a touch of haunt.

it's hard to detail how much this album has touched me.

hannah clemens has just become by own personal bob dylan.

it's extremely rare to come across such a wonderful blend of melody, lyrical power, and vocal talent.

filled with songs that hit the perfect 'sweet spot' of sarcastic gripping social relevance, blended with devastatingly haunting heartfelt reflections, this young artist has kindled my faith in the intense magic of music.

with songs such as 'floodplain', a grim portrayal of the new orleans disaster, 'beginning of the end', a ballad of biblical based abandonment and ignorance, 'citizen, go back to sleep', exposing an encroaching totalitarian state, hannah demonstrates mastery at assuming multiple roles to sharply examine a wide range of modern ills.

this poignant social commentary is gently sweetened by delicate songs of staggering beauty that completely and entirely melt the heart. 'go' brings me to tears.

hannah's songs pour out as if from a brilliant bird caught in a cage.

be cautioned, 'rust' is instantly addictive.

these songs are a direct expression of vast courage, heart, and genius.

hannah clemens deserves the open and attentive ear of this world.

Very nice folk songs, great lyrics, good playing, good production. This basically gets top marks from me in all categories. I don't think I was more than a few seconds into the first song before thinking "I like this."

Beautiful voice.

After I heard 'Molten' I couldn't get it out of my head. Great hooks, super sound!

06/02/08

With vocals comparable to that of Jenny Lewis and Leslie Feist, Hannah Clemens is going to make it big one day.

Listen to this album if you want to hear an awesome voice and relax yourself with the lyrics. :)
