The new album contains clear Motown and R&B influenced tracks like Office Girl and Shonalee and ranges from soul and rock to the sultry, reggae-inspired Soda Water. Klein has consciously strayed from her folksy roots to explore the kind of exuberant musical genres that got her singing in the first place. www.jessklein.comAlana Levandoski BiographyCanadian Alana Levandoskis debut album Unsettled Down co-produced with Winnipeg-based producer/engineer Norm Dugas was completed in late 2004.
