Jessica L. Fenton

Do some people just have it? I think you can always see the magic in people.

Here is an artist I found on myspace just by clicking around.
Her name is Jessica L. Fenton.
The production is noticeably unrefined. Somehow she rises slightly above generic though. Thats why I am writing this. There is no type I am specifically looking to write about in the blog, but the correlation is definitely the artists who are able to go to one more level than what is expected. This girl, Jessica Fenton, she has this snarl, a yell - particularly on the track "Wool" which really rises out of comfort into intrigue. The guitars are a normal guitar riff, but a good one nonetheless that always sounds good wherever we hear it. She adds a piano in there, drumset - all which she plays herself.
To totally reduce her to generics, I would say fiona apple and the proclaimers consummated their mid 90's love affair. But thats not fair.
Here is a person who is doing the music we have all heard before, but there is that spark that catches you. There is definite potential here if she keeps on this track.

The EP is 3 songs... not even enough to fill an entire myspace profile. Despite this, theres still that sound. She seems like someone Id like to see perform live. This is a recommendation for her work to date. Looking for more.

She has a sister, but no one told her you have to rock out.
