She's grown up...but she's still the same. April 17, 2003 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
People always make a big fuss about singers "growing up." When you start as young as Jessica Andrews did, you have to put up with that. "Now" might make them think, though. That little brown-haired-green-eyed cutie-pie that we saw on "Heart Shaped World" has changed; there's no more "You Go First." However, if you're frightened to buy this album...never fear! She may be older, but she's still an incredible singer."There's More to Me Than You"--there's also a hidden, slower, piano/string driven, (better?) version on here--is the hit that Andrews herself co-wrote; in fact, this song and "Good Times," also written by Andrews, are two of the best tracks. You want some more goodies? Go to the next paragraph. "Second Sunday" is a pop-influenced, guilty-pleasure sounding song, while "Windows on a Train" is it's exact opposite--mournful, serious, and surprising. "God Don't Give Up On Us" is a piano-driven tune about all that is going on in the world today; a 9/11-inspired song, yes, but a good one. "When Gentry Plays Guitar" is somewhat reminiscent, wile "To Love You Once" is suggestive and intoxicating. "You're the Man (that Brings the Woman Out of Me)" is enjoyably serious/flirty, while the hispanic-tinged title track about finally finding love somehow manages to avoid being dull and mushy. Jessica Andrews has a diverse album here; some of these tunes are serious and depressing, some are light-hearted and fluffy. Some have her voice bouncing between the notes with ease; some have her simply singing comfortably, easily. To some, this album may sound a little too pop; however, to country music fans in the known, this album isn't pop--it's mainstream country, mixed with a little alt-country for a hint of spice. Buy "Now", and here the evolution of a great singer/budding songwriter. You might just be impressed...and amazed.
NOT country music April 20, 2005 5 out of 36 found this review helpful
This album just like all of Jessica's albums is not country. This is Nashville at it again, trying to sell pop as country. Whan will you learn Nashville that country fans like myself are sick of pop music passing itself off as country. If you like the typical nashville pop singers like, LeeAnn Rime, Shania Twain or Faith Hill. Then you are sure to love this junk. But if you are a country fan I would advise you not to buy this. But one thing I am glad about, is that her career didn't last longer than two years. Jessica you are now a has been. ~~ Twang
NOW is the time April 16, 2003 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Jessica Andrews is back with her third effort NOW, and it's a nice timepiece for this young artist. The selection of songs is quite interesting, there is quite a variety here. It opens with the song she helped pen, titled "There's More To Me Than You", an uptempo "get over your ex" type song, with a resonant message. There is also a hidden track, that is the ballad version of this song. She jumps from ballads to uptempos, with the same sweet voice we've come to love. The title track is an inspired love song that is destined to become a couples favorite. She heartbreakingly sings "God Don't Give Up On Us", a track that is resonant today as ever, with the times we are living in. Rebecca Lynn Howard helped pen "Cowboy Guarantee", easily one of the album's best, with a landscape of sound and a compelling story that Andrews sings convincingly. The inspired ballad "I Wish For You" is bound to become a classic for Andrews, like "Who I Am", from her last album of the same name. There's quite a few sentimental songs, to name a few, "They Are The Roses", "I Wish For You", "Never Be Forgotten" and "Windows On A Train", that work quite well. Not by any chance is the album filled with ballads, there is a healthy dose of uptempo material. "Second Sunday" is bound to become a big hit, you would think it was a pop song with its catchy chorus, but here's plenty of fiddle and steel all over it. "Sunshine And Love" is a pleasant, uptempo, optomistic song that works well with Andrews' warm vocals. Overall NOW shows the continued growth we see in Andrews career as each album passes, she is building upon that growth we first saw with 2001's WHO I AM. It seems more and more, as a young adult, with each album she is putting the pieces together about who she is, and you would have no trouble believing this sweet singer is not being sincere with her words.
There's More To Her April 16, 2003 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Jessica Andrew's third album, NOW is a country-pop project with songs that span every human emotion. Jessica has matured into a young woman, as she sings about finding self-esteem, death, social ills, children, and love. With 16 songs (including the ballad version of her hit single "There's More To Me Than You") there is something for everyone here. "I Wish For YOu" wishes a loved one well in their life. "I Bring It To You" is about trusting someone enough to let them see inside you. "God Don't Give Up On Us" is about a variety of social problems we face today and Jessica's voice sounds amazing. Jessica sings with restraint when needed, but can turn around and just blow you away with her voice. Every song on this album is a winner, Jessica Andrews is just beginning. Don't toss her off and think she is just another cookie-cutter, because this album shows that there's more to Jessica Andrews.
JESSICA On PBS' AUSTIN CITY LIMITS August 15, 2004 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
WOW!!! What a resonating and spectacular voice JESSICA ANDREWS has been blessed with! She's 19 years old and this is her third album! GREAT SHOW on PBS' AUSTIN CITY LIMITS - she is a confident, sparkling performer onstage, and her "live" vocals are powerful, soulful and she's a focused, entertaining performer - she is magically enchanting! I cannot wait till her next album.
