Jem
Finally Woken

(ATO)

T.J. Simon's #7 album for 2004

First Appeared at The Music Box, April 2004, Volume 11, #4

Written by John Metzger

On her full-length debut Finally Woken, Jem lives up to the promise revealed on last year’s introductory EP It All Starts Here.... With shimmering dance grooves and a smooth, silky voice, the Welsh singer once again conjures up a sensual set of songs that drift dreamily upon their sweetly, sunny refrains. Only a pair of tracks — the lovely, but far too straightforward Missing You and the drab Falling for You — truly miss the mark. The rest — most notably the breezy Wish I and the gentle, orchestral Stay Now — join the five jewels released last year to offer an organic new beginning for the frequently overproduced club scene.
