Jaylene Johnson - Finding Beautiful
Soul-nourishing, substance-filled pop...emo meets Mitchell and King.
BIOGRAPHY for JAYLENE JOHNSON
Winnipeg's Jaylene Johnson is a courageous singer/songwriter. While her songs take people to emotional places inside themselves that they may not have known existed, her writing only leads to places where she has gone herself. Familiar with the dichotomy of emotions that is part of our humanity, here is an artist able to find a musical voice for pain, loss and grief that is not absent of joy, gratefulness and hope. Her lyrics are heart-wrenching and achingly lovely. And constantly challenging her own thinking and ideologies, she wrestles with questions and works out the answers musically with a pure, unfaltering voice and haunting piano or guitar-backed melodies.

WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ABOUT "WHEN I WAS MADE"...
PERFORMING SONGWRITER MAGAZINE, March/April 2004 "Her voice [is] a full, expressive instrument with the gentility of Suzanne Vega and the soft punch of Rickie Lee Jones...On Carey's fourth album 'When I Was Made' she adds...a warm, rootsy mix, reminiscent of country-tinged chanteuses like Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams (if not as rough as the latter). The result is a lovely, shimmering, heart-felt record, highlighted by springy ballads like 'Open Wide' and 'Chemistry,' both of which, in tone and content, deal poignantly with the imperfections of romance."
