"I started listening to Jillian Ann's music about 6 months ago. I was instantly hooked on her style. Her music is smooth and relaxing most of the time. I just ordered this CD and can't wait to get it. I bought her other cd, Elucido: Beta, and have completely worn it out already. Jillian Ann, Keep up the good work!"

An Artist to Watch: Unique and exciting

"The first thing you'll about "Neverland" is how rich and dynamic the songs are. Which is remarkable considering Jillian Ann performs all the music and vocals by herself. This isn't an "Unplugged" album featuring only Jillian and her piano. Many of the songs sounds like a full band recorded them. She works really hard to add depth and complexity to the numbers. "Neverland" is definitely an alternative album. Very eclectic, similar to New Age techno. And it takes a while to get used to. Simply because you won't hear anything like it on the radio. Which makes it fascinating. Listening to this CD demands your full attention. In order to fully appreciate the sonic landscape, you should listen through headphones with your eyes closed. My overall impression is that Jillian Ann is a very gifted musician. She has a talent for composing and arranging great music. Her piano playing is very dramatic and moving. The techno beats can sound a bit cold and disconnected. However, her piano playing is so heartfelt and sincere it helps adds an emotional resonance. "Neverland" is a remarkable first step in Jillian Ann's musical evolution. I highly recommend this album."

"I think it's somewhat a mistake to say "Jillian Ann has launched herself into the world of music". I think of her music as her primary art... Her compositions are both original and evocative and draw you in to repeated listenings."
