Not a solo album, more of an orchestral feel to this one, with saxophones, recorders, violin, mandolin, cello, banjo, lap steel guitar, gongs and piano all added to my usual guitar and basses, courtesy of Mike Wilson, Ben Walker, Laura Victoria, Aisuke Matsutoya, John Fogarty, Satu Taggart and Ian Clayton. Recorded in various locations and mastered at Montesa Audio, Valencia.

Hand On Heart

Jenny Hallam is an accomplished songwriter, singer and  pianist who is releasing her début album on the 25th February 2012.

This track is from her '25,000 Days'

She started writing songs whilst still at school and has performed since the age of 15. She has enlisted the help of LIPA music student, producer and percussionist Chris Hewitt and guitarist Alex Albrow to embellish her intelligent , lyrics and catchy melodies with polished arrangements that herald the arrival of a truly stunning new talent.

Admirers regularly comment on the insights contained within her lyrics which seem at odds with her tender years ranging from the difficulties of adolescence in ‘They Say’  to the reflective relationship commentary of 'Background'. However, she is not so precious that she cannot write songs that cry out for old fashioned chart success  as in the first single from the album ‘Me ,Me ,Me’ and induce the smile in the listener that inevitably accompanies  the first hearing of  such future pop classics as  'BBQ Sauce', 'Summer Song' and 'Struggle to Find'.

Jenny regularly stuns audiences with her powerful, soulful but above all human voice - an oasis of quality in the cultural vacuum of this X Factor  karaoke age. Spread the word, this girl has music generating from every pore and above all a real charm that makes the world a better place to live in.
