Jenna Mammina - Under The Influence '1999 [2018]

Tracks list

The music is the magic of a secret world... It's the magic that is always
within...

When Jenna Mammina sings those lines, written by her friend and musical mentor,
Abbey Lincoln, they strike the listener not just as lyrics to a beautiful song,
but as a declaration of unshakable personal conviction. Since early childhood,
Mammina has been caught in the spell of music's magic, a magic that now emerges
in full flower on her debut album, Under the Influence, a thoroughly beguiling
collection of songs that heralds the arrival of a major new vocal talent.

Produced by Cookie Marenco (with Jenna herself as co- producer), Under the
Influence provides an ideal showcase for the singer's remarkable versatility.
The album's twelve tracks represent a wide variety of moods and styles,
reflecting an adventurous musical world view that includes everything from
Broadway show tunes and jazz standards to work of contemporary icons like James
Taylor, Elvis Costello and Led Zeppelin, plus Mammina's original compositions.

Above all, Under the Influence is about the marvelously versatile vocal talent
of Jenna Mammina. With seemingly effortless grace, she rises to the emotional
and musical needs of whatever song she's singing at the moment, whether it's
playful, intoxicating sensual, or full of heartbreak and regret. Jenna goes deep
inside a song, and takes the listener right there with her:

..into the music...into the magic... Under the Influence.
