On her debut solo release, A Million Hearts, “Reju waxes in a new style, burnishing her timeless sensibility into laid-back sparkly pop that registers on the familiarity meter somewhere between Feist and Petula Clark.” (Tara Murtha, Philadelphia Weekly). A Million Hearts features Reju’s original songs as well as writing collaborations with the album’s producer Pete Donnelly (Mike Viola, Soul Asylum, NRBQ) and Philadelphia music-scene luminaries Chris Kasper and Andrew Chalfen (The Trolleyvox). The album’s highlights include a fun cover of Melanie’s classic “Brand New Key,” a vocal duet with pop prodigy Jim Boggia, and full vocal harmonies, toy piano, and handclaps. CBS Philly listed Adrien Reju as one of the 10 Best Local Songwriters in Philadelphia: “Adrien Reju is a tiny muse that seems borrowed from another era, churning out songs that are half 70s AM radio gold and half Tin Pan Alley…. Occasional hints of whimsy like tickled barrel-house piano or muted horn solos help to define her produced tracks, but even stripped bare her songs retain their heft thanks to her distinctive vocals—somehow both powerful and girlish at the same time.” Read more: http://www.myspace.com/adrienreju#ixzz13WmVjEPv User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
