Press

“It seems that Jenn Grinels has become a regular around IMR this year. She was an honorable mention in both our Women of Indie and Indie Acoustic issues and we covered her album brokenHEARTbreaker in March. ”

— Indie Music Reviewer Magazine

“Jenn can sing anything—rock, folk, blues, pop, jazz—and make it sound like its only the music that matters. Virtuosity with lyrics and melody writing and a mind-boggling range, not only of actual notes but also of emotional timbres—she has tremendous power that resounds with emotional sincerity.”

— Jasper Grant, www.bellyup.com

“Jenn Grinels seriously should be a star by now. She has the engaging vocals, snappy lyrics, camera-ready looks and natural charisma to capture any audience. Note to the Music Industry: Get on it.”

— RedFenceProject.com (Los Angeles)

“Jenn Grinels is the real, talented epitome of today’s best indie music.”

— The San Diego Reader

“You’ll travel back in time when you listen to the third track, “Don’t Wanna Be Happy.” It sounds like it could be released in an era decades before Jenn’s time. The woodwind arrangement and use of horns makes this a refreshing change of scenery from most of today’s popular music.”

— Melissa Landrin, Indie Music Reviewer Magazine

“Jenn Grinels is at the forefront of San Diego’s singing elite. When it comes to chops and the balance of command, control, and freedom that go into exceptional singing, this lady stands alone. Even her softest, most subtle lyrical licks are as gripping as the powerfully belted lines that are emblematic of her art.”

— The San Diego Troubadour

“Her voice is just absurd. Two artists kept coming to mind – Martin Sexton and Fiona Apple. Sexton because of her vocal focus & control. Fiona Apple because of her tell-off confessional/conversational lyrics, her penchant for complex rhyme schemes, and her powerful, listen-up-buster delivery.”

— CrazyTalk.com (San Francisco, CA)

“Goosebumps. The audience hangs on to every note she delivers and seems to connect with her sound, lyrics and style on a level that is rare. Her stage presence is effortless and personable. I felt as if the entire audience and I were good friends of Jenn’s, sitting around listening to her play songs we already knew and loved. Part of her allure is her genuine personality which shines through instantly. Part of it is her incredible voice and vocal range. After Grinels performed a few songs, someone at my table remarked,”How is she not like, majorly famous!? She is incredible.”

— C. Smith, Examiner.com

“Grinels’ natural strength and talent guarantees superstardom in her future”

— Andrew Roiter, The MCLA Beacon

"Holy smokes the pipes on this girl . . . Wow wow wow. Never a wrong note, soulfully soft, heartfelt, passionately louder, gritty when it was needed then whispered, gifted . . . you can see the world change just a little bit for that moment that she is communing with it."

— Mariposa, TheRoot66.com

"Stunning Vocals and Original Songs; Extraordinary New Discovery" "Grinels' voice really has to be heard to be believed. It's jazzy in its pacing, soulful in its delivery, heartfelt in its sensuous tone . . . it will be interesting to see how the future unfolds for this soon-to-be legendary singer."

— P.T. Rothschild, Full Value Reviews

"Grinels began to sing and the whole room stopped breathing. She has a dazzling voice, Chrissie Hynde's mojo, Rickie Lee Jones' feel for the jazz in the spaces between notes and a unfailing sense of the dynamics . . . the words fell from her mouth like gems. A woman in the corner of the cafe cried."

— Sam Blackwell, Southeast Missourian
