Album Description
A debut solo album by multi-instrumentalist Jen Schwartz. In essence, a collection of journal entries recounting times fo lost love and life's lessons learned hard. Schwartz's music is a perfect mixture of the aggressive and the beautiful. Her heart-felt creations evoke multi-dimensional excursions through the psyche. Perhaps the strength in her music lies in her ability to slither through a diverse range of emotions, leading listeners on a journey wrought with fierce mood swings and fluctuations. She slices through the surface with raging power chords and percussive explosions, then lulls the listener with tender voice and ethereal waves of musical mastery.

Diversity of style and a voice reminicent of early Janis Ian June 24, 2001

I am a dj for a college staion and came across this cd there. From one track to the next there is sometimes so much contract that one cannot believe it is the same artist. Awesome cd, have enjoyed it very much.
 Boring, bland, and overwrought May 23, 2001

This CD has no reedeming qualities. The lyrics consist of self-pitying, overwrought sob stories. The songs themselves tend to blur into each other. You won't find yourself humming any of these tunes! Schwartz's voice is not displeasing, but neither is it particularly memorable. It's just mediocre, like the rest of this CD.

In an age of bubble-gum, record-industry-puppet pop and stale male guitar bands, this record stands squarely in a league of its own. How many musicians write, record, and produce their own material these days? And how many have the guts to strip themselves of convention and contrivance to create a raw, unaffected product? On Candy From a Stranger, Schwartz accomplishes all of this, with a grace and originality that is sorely lacking in today's mainstream music. Fans of thoughtful, independent music find a winner in Jen Schwartz.

This is by far the best blend of singing and instrumental use by one artist I have ever come across. I highly recommend to anyone that they should purchase this CD. Great CD from a new artist. A+

Having listened to this CD recently. I was very surprised that someone is talented enough to play all the instruments & arrange all the songs. This is a piece of work that should get recognised for the commitment to actually be able to finish the album on ones own time. using every bit of lifes experience to produce a moving talented album.
