Hey Jen, great song, recording, lyrics & video. You're right, it's not your usual fair but that's what makes you a great 21st century artist. Just look at how many different styles Picasso had. Keep up the good work. GB. Ray
Hell yes! Is this your rebellious side? I think it's a great representation of just how versatile you are, not to mention how the beauty in your voice can carry just about any music as long as you're given free reign. I'd love to hear you do some vocal trance.
Very interesting song, and though it might not be "my" taste, you are right ~ it IS GOOD to take risk and to stretch yourself musically! And, I did like it! Wonderful imagery! You are very talented!
It's indeed quite different from what I am used to, but it sounded great. Because I like your voice and that doesn't change. Enjoy the weekend, because now it's saturday.
I came across your website by accident while searching for a song titled "Sail Away" by Enya. When I accidently click on your music video of "Sail Away". That song touch my heart. Very good. And this one, "The Weekend" really bumps!! I could do a Paso Doble dance with this. Again very good. I'm buying your album so my friends here in Las Vegas & Los Angeles can here you. Ms. Rafferty stardom is coming around the corner. Hang in there "sunshine". Great work!!
It is by no means my favorite of yours, however, for some strange reason, I actually like this. I am not a fan of this kind of music, but you do a lot with your voice and you build toward the chorus. You still manage to sing really well even in a genre that usually does not encourage that. I am glad you took the risk and showed us a different style.
Jen, the song is good 'cause you are a great writer and performer with heart and talent, but -even if I DO like experiments in music and versatility- I really don't think you need to try this genre, 'cause it's full of songs like this one and paradoxically there are not so many singers with your lovely style around. So I would say, good one but please back on track. Just my two cents ;-) I know, I know, I'm old style ... and I will admit I like to experiment myself... oh well, thumbs up for you!
@ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC I have to agree with Alec on this one but don't stop experimenting because creativity will not exist other wise. I could imagine you fitting well with the likes of Massive Attack, Everything But The Girl, Goreki etc.. Just my 1 pence ^_^
lol
But you know what.. at the end of the day, do what ever you want. No mistakes, just experience! Thank you Jenny.
was going through the old vinyl earlier trying to turf out some toot, this is the sort of track I'd have trouble parting with! yea I'l have a copy of the master if there is one! ;]
I actually really enjoyed it, however I would suggest turning down the synth effects a bit, because your voice is a little breathy so it's being overpowered... & we can't miss that, now can we? :D
@YourFavouriteSmilex aw no worries!! :-) thank you for still commenting on it anyway even tho you don't like it, appreciate it!! more acoustics on the way !! yay! xXx
@jenny0285 i feel so judgemental for saying it :$ at least you have the balls to come onto youtube and post your music :) ! i still love your music though :p x
@YourFavouriteSmilex lol, don't feel judgemental... you rock... love all your comments - always!!!!! :-) p.s. just stopped by your channel and watched your friend singing gaga!!!! xXx
Your unique and great vocal is there but this is FAR too much of a departure from your usual style. Emily moved me to tears but this doesn't move me at all. Stick to your natural style of music.
@Zed1967 just trying different things... i used to write this style more than the acoustic stuff....i consider myself a songwriter firstly..... so i write in lots of different styles all the time...but thanks for your honest opinion... i knew some of my subscribers wouldn't like this one... but i wanted to post it anyways!! :-) tee hee - have a good weekend tho!! lol xXx
I'm a MASSIVE fan of you and was just being honest, I'm a guitarist of 25 years and you made me cry buckets with Emily. That song rips the heart out of my very soul.......In a good way because people like myself can relate to the story in their own lives.
It's one hell of a heartbreaker of a song though......I feel the pain when I listen to it.....Ouch! I must be a sadist because I love listening to it even though it causes me pain ;) Or a musician who appreciates great music. :)
@Zed1967 aw,,, means loads that Emily had that affect on you!! really appreciate it and appreciate your comments on this one too!! :-) - love the honesty,, and it's deffo not going to be everyone's cup of tea... i know for a fact my mum wouldn't like it....LOL!!!! i hope Emily doesn't cause too much pain tho - cos it is a sad tale!!!! :-( you'll be happy to know tho i've got a tearjearker comin up real soon!!! tee hee .....have a fab weekend!!! love xXx
Signs is another Jenny classic. That song is very simple but it shows off your skills as a producer. You obviously recorded it on a simple system but the production is straight out of the top drawer.
Your career as a musician and/or record producer is in the bag, someone needs to offer you a contract NOW!

It's great! Only thing I would say is that occasionally the music gets a little to loud and drowns out your voice.
