about

On her album Chances, Canadian chanteuse Jill Barber picks up the torch where the golden age of music left off.

Stepping away from her folk past, Jill delivers an album of ten original, fully orchestrated songs that strongly evoke – and could themselves become - classics. From the moment you hear her sultry voice on the opening title track, you are transported to another time and place. “The best songs ever written are the ones that somehow transcend time and fashion, “says Jill. ”They may be old, but they haven’t aged. It is that timeless quality that I aspire to in my own songwriting."

The music is brilliant, but what I love most about this record is her storytelling. Like any good short-story writer, she has the ability to draw you into her narratives with just the briefest glimpse of the bigger picture.

Beautiful album. Just wish I could get in touch with someone at Bandcamp to correct the titles of tracks 7, 8, and 10. They're mixed up. Should be #7 Dogfight, #8 Rocket, and #10 Working Girl. Hopefully someone sees this and fixes it. Thanks! Tera
