One thing you will notice right off the bat on this new release is the show-stopping voice supplied by Jennifer Hill. Jennifer sings with so much passion and you feel every single note on ‘Love Bomb’. Jennifer Hill bears her soul for all to hear on this 10-track album and she does not hold back at all.
Jennifer has been compared to the likes of Amy Winehouse, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple and Lady Gaga but her style is 100% authentic. Jennifer’s voice is so pure, clean and polished and so it’s no surprise to discover that she has been singing since she is a little girl. Covering a gamut of emotions while even giving the audience a little burlesque atmosphere at times, Jennifer Hill is on fire with ‘Love Bomb’.
The album features many talented musicians and they are horn player Bill Holloman (Chic, Gatlin Bros., Bruce Springsteen),guitarist Tim Palmieri(Lotus, Kung Fu, Karl Denson), guitarist June Millington(Fanny, Wild Honey, The Svelts), multi-instrumentalist Bob Schwecherl(Few Cents Short, Grandpa’s Grass), bassist Bobo Lavorgna(Aztec Two-Step, Batu), cellist Jeffrey Chen(Cargo Cult Revival, Ernest Hem ‘n’ Haw), and backing vocalist Stout (Alicia Keys, Santana, John Mayer).The record is produced by legendary producer Vic Steffens, who has worked with artists like Rolling Stones, Harry Connick, Jr., and Bobby Brown to name a few. Together, Jennifer Hill & company create and capture so many memorable moments on ‘Love Bomb’ that audiences everywhere will be enthralled with.
As soon as you hit play, the listener will hear a striking voice from Jennifer Hill on “Gemma Star” and she has quite the presence. With pristine vocals and a very appealing sound, Jennifer is off to an impressive start with “Gemma Star”! Get ready to take a bite out of “Made of Candy” next where Jennifer displays her showy side and appears to be quite theatrical on this number. Track three, “This Plane”, offers an emotional touch and one strong vocal delivery. “This Plane” is taking off and will have you contemplating life with lines like “Better move fast or you’ll lose it all”. Prepare for a playful melody and inviting tone on “Baby Child” where you will be instantly attracted to this song. Moving along, we hear “Erased” that includes touching material to go along with piercing vocals that have a hauntingly beautiful texture. Track six, “Can’t Say”, is powerful and grabs you immediately with its gripping sound. Jennifer Hill proves to be a star-studded singer and storyteller on “Can’t Say”. Heading into the next song, “Waiting” will leave you speechless with its masterful direction and then Jennifer is laying it all out on the table on “Civilized”. Track nine, “Hearts”, packs a punch and has a direct impact on the audience thanks to Jennifer’s sincere delivery. There’s a pleasant surprise on “Hearts” too where a cool rap session can be heard during the song. Jennifer Hill is standing tall by the end on “You’ll See” with a very strong performance as she leaves a lasting impression on listeners everywhere.
What I respect about Jennifer Hill is that she is not afraid to be vulnerable as an artist and she is so genuine. With a voice that is smooth as butter to go along with top-notch musical arrangements, Jennifer will certainly gain new fans with her latest release. She knows when to get serious and when to let loose and have a lil fun making ‘Love Bomb’ a must listen!
