by Melinda Hill Burner is an album that does just that -- burns. It's an album that blends genres and defies categorization. Jane Jensen recorded Burner on her own terms, releasing it independently, and it shows. It has a sound that defies categorization, varying from a slow simmer to a rolling boil. It's electric girl-pop grunge with a twist of hip-hop blues, and it's an irresistible mix. Burner kicks off effectively with the infectious &Fast Girl U.S.A.,& then boils into the ballsy track &Burner.& The album slumps a bit through the next two tracks, but picks up with the definitive breakup song &Happiness.& With lyrics like &Without you I'm one step closer to happiness,& it's unmistakably brutal and pure attitude. &Save the World& burns with a raw eroticism. &Illuminate& has a sweetness that makes it the perfect antidote to &Happiness.& &Sick of Losing& rings with naked need, the opposite of &Illuminate.& The album wraps up with a meditation on goodness, or the lack thereof, &Angel.& Burner singes the listener with its honesty, desire, and need. Jensen's voice, ranging from sultry to girly and everything in between, is perfectly matched by the hip-hop beats and electric sound. It's an album that will stay with you.
