Press... Jamie was recently reviewed by Glittergrrrls alongside such artists as Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Lacuna Coil. Read the interview here! "Jamie sounds just as phenomenal as on her first CD, if not better...her voice that makes you want to sing along, cry, and tell her you want more!" “[Her music is inspired by] the dark side of things [though] I think Rattner has a bright future ahead of her…she’ll have a great career.” “Attention those who like female vocalists - this is one to hear…Rattner isn't afraid to let her vocals soar with brutally honest lyrics and the piano chords to back them up” “Forget the phone bill, buy this CD at any cost…This unique and fabulous performer delivers an amazing debut album; one that can't afford to be missed” -Mark Staudte/Northeast Intune “Obviously, [Jamie Rattner] is incredibly talented. The album [Within] opens with the wonderful song "Numb" (my personal favorite), and then follows with "Elementary," which is a prime example of how well a piano, guitar and catchy rock rhythm complement each other.” “The first thing you'll notice about Jamie Rattner is her voice. Forceful and sweeping,with an impressive range at her disposal, Rattner's vocal delivery commands attention. ...It's clear that Rattner has all the necessary tools of greatness at her disposal, namely an incredible voice, skilled musicianship, and beautifully composed songs" "I am always excited when a musician can simply work with her voice and her instrument and keep you listening, Jamie does just this." "If you can't get enough of unique piano music that's on the quirky edge of pop give Jamie Rattner a try" "[Jamie Rattner] calls in as inspiration poetess Anne Sexton [one of the famous examples of neurosis induced by postpartum depression] and Flamenco, the Iberian art form that choreographs seductive dances and knife fights. This goes a long way to explaining the mystery and melancholy of such songs as Wayward Song and Marigolds and Dandelions" |
