Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 She never listened to other people's music

Here's a French / Canadian? singer with talent to spare. The songs are so original and the vocal stylings and content so new that you wonder if she has ANY idea what the other musicians are doing. This singer is VERY original and her voice has me entranced.
My favorite on the album, the song that makes the entire album worth buying, is the title track "I'm Not Going Anywhere" which is listenable in the extreme.
She sounds a LOT like Carla Bruni and even somewhat like Feist but that is where the comparison ends. Keren Ann has written and performed songs that I think some other artists would neither have thought of, nor tried.
I love her voice and I love this album.
Most of the songs are in English which I prefer. He voice is as good in French but I like to understand the words. This isn't Adiemus lol

 Illegal cd?

I like the CD but I get the feeling the artist/label/whatever didn't get any money from my purchase. The CD had a longish warning on it, I'll go look it up...
"LICENSED FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY - THIS CD HAS NOT BEEN SOLD
You may not transfer this disc without consent of record company and must return it on demand. Use or retention of the disc signifies acceptance of this license."
It is irresponsible of Amazon to illegally sell such a CD. Part of the reason I buy cd's (in this modern age of free internet radio &c.) is to support the artist.
SO buy this somewhere else.
With that said, I bought this CD for the tracks 'not going anywhere' and mainly for 'end of may'. There are some other good tracks. I haven't really decided what I like out of it yet. |

I had bought Keren Ann's French album "La Disparition" and when I listened to this album, a couple of the songs are the same as her French album, but English version.
Overall, it's a mellow CD and I would recommend those who enjoy Keren Ann's music to check out Carla Bruni. |

There's no one like Keren Ann - in this century anyway. Her singing style might be best described as "softspoken", pun intended, but the overall effect is mesmerizing, soothing... I slightly prefer "Nolita" over this effort, that CD is darker, haunting, but this is also very very good. The title track, with its ironic but key "This is why I always whisper" lyric (it really is like listening to a whisper to a scream) sets the tone and the rest of the disc just sails along. Other standout tracks that keep the mellow spell intact - By The Cathedral, Polly, Sit In the Sun... heck, theyre all good, if in pretty much the same mode (except Sailor & Widow, which seems destined for an off-Broadway musical somewhere).
Having seen her live I got the feeling I was in Paris in 1935, listening to a sexy lounge singer coo her way through a series of unfamiliar torch songs, accompanied by an antique guitar, a piano, a french horn and 2 strings. That description might not sound all that great, but somehow, in todays world of WT hip-hop and screaming death metal, it really, really works.
Keren Ann is a talented musician who definitely has carved a niche of her own in the music landscape.

| This is a bit on the melancholy side. I liked it. I like to expand my horizons and I truly cherished the uniqueness in this piece. On a lonely night, or a dark and dreary day this will extend the mood into infinitum |
