Comments:
Ainjel Emme has an intriguing voice, and has recorded a creative, free-spirited new record. "Over Run" is catchy and sees her stretch her voice to its fullest. "Jenny Pearl" is a dreamy folksy concoction, with some glorious vocals. "Straight to hell' is a soft yet urgent song where Emme's approach to music comes across as refreshingly honest. She's made a wonderful album. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
