Positively Somewhere

Amazon.com
After scoring a hit right out of the gate with her debut single, "Crush," Jennifer Paige called on the big guns for her follow-up. And so "These Days," Positively Somewhere's lead song, was cowritten by Phil Thornally, the former Cure bassist who put Natalie Imbruglia on the pop map in the late '90s. Sure enough, "These Days" has the platinum-plated attitude of something that's got "radio hit" written all over it. The rest of the album is surprisingly consistent considering that it was recorded all over the U.S. with 11 different producers. All the tracks share huge anthemic choruses you'll hate yourself for singing along with, and some oddball sonic touches that keep things interesting. "The Edge," for instance, boasts a nutty, rumbling bass line that's so weird it becomes completely addictive, while "Make Me" is laden with hooks. The least you can say for Paige is that she knows a catchy song when she hears it--and she'll make sure you hear it as well. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Sad, sad, SAD!!.......2007-06-22

Jennifer Paige's voice is just as beautiful as her face. What a talent!! I remember seeing her perform the song "Crush" on the Today show, and I immediately bought the CD. What I loved about her was the fact that with the kind of talent and integrity she was displaying, there was NO WAY she was going to be heard on the radio. She seemed unwilling to sell out just to be popular. Well, after listening to this CD, obviously somewhere along the way she decided to sell out. Fortunately she hasn't sunk to the level of going around scantily clad and falling down drunk in public (thank God). This CD is so heavily studio-manufactured that it really doesn't even matter who's singing. It's a real shame, I'd love to see JP come out with a new CD, but for now, if you want to hear her purely beautiful voice, you'll have to stick with her first (self-titled) CD.

BTW...Jennifer sang a song on the Disney movie "The Country Bears" called "Kick It In Gear" and she ROCKED an otherwise worthless movie!!!

Fabulous!.......2006-04-19

I absolutely love this CD. She has such fabulous vocals, and it leaves out the foul-language and dirty content of most modern Pop genre artists. It's very delightful!

INFO ABOUT THE SONG "THESE DAYS".......2006-02-05

As someone on here said, the Australian pop group "Bardot" FIRST recorded "These Days" in 2000.

I wish we'd all heard it sooner!.......2006-01-12

Jennifer Paige seems to have been lost in the shuffle around the turn of the millennium, in spite of the fact that her debut single "Crush" beat the stuffing out of anything Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera were putting out. What a loss! Although her first CD was kind of a mixed bag, with Positively Somewhere she came back strong. Sadly we haven't heard from her since, but based on this CD I'd love to hear more. I didn't discover this one myself until I went back on a "Whatever happened to?" tour through Amazon, and remembering "Crush" I stumbled onto Jennifer's two releases. Strangely I don't think anything from Positively Somewhere ever got released as a single, which is a dirty shame.

The CD opens with its three best songs: "These Days" is more or less the unofficial title track, a great catchy tune with some cool guitar riffs to distinguish it from just any old pop song. "Here With Me" is another tremendous upbeat tune, while "Stranded" cools it down a bit with a beautiful haunting chorus.

After such a strong opening, the rest of the CD does not disappoint. "Way Of The World" is bouncy pop, and the final track "Vapor" is another good example from the pop set while also closing the CD perfectly. "Feel So Far Away" has a smoky sultry flavor reminding me a lot of Sade, and "Tell Me When" has a bit of of the same. The fast-paced "The Edge" is almost a dance tune that uses more bass than the rest of the CD, to interesting effect. "Make Me" and "Stay The Night" both have a very slight Latin flavor, normally not something I much enjoy but done very well in both songs.

After hearing Positively Somewhere, I'd love to see Jennifer come back to release a third CD. Sadly I think the market won't hear of it, and in the meantime this delightful disc is becoming much harder to find. I highly recommend picking up one of the last few in circulation. If you like female vocal pop at all, you won't be disappointed.

One of the best cd i have ever heard.......2005-10-15

This cd is just amazing, i don't know how the songs didn't went hits to charts and least videos. Jennifer Paige is a great artist and i have read that she is about to release a new album later this year, maybe on 2006. I would love to have this cd in my hands, it will worth the wait. Check on [...] for the last demos and information. This is a must buy for good music listeners.
