Jaymay is the recording name for New York City-based singer-songwriter Jaime Seerman, whose songs straddle the line between raw, emo-tinged confessionalism and the sophisticated craftsmanship of an artist like Feist. Jaymay's 2008 release, AUTUMN FALLIN', is a thoughtful, wistful album that details a failed relationship. Whether via the detail-saturated yearning of "Gray or Blue," the lengthy and brutally honest "You'd Rather Run," or the piano-driven "Blue Skies," which offers a vision of emotional escape, Jaymay examines the vagaries of love and loss with a piercing eye. The mood of the album is quiet and melancholy, yet highly melodic, lending itself to repeat listens.
Industry Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- Musically inventive and understated, AUTUMN' FALLIN' relies on guitar, dreamy vocals, subtle strings and pensive upright bass to create an appropriately wintry ambience.
4 stars out of 5 -- [D]on't be fooled by her pleasantly laconic singing. The emotions she unveils in these engrossing tales of lust and failed relationship are as mellow as a punch in the face.
