About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Sleek, sensual, and retro-futuristic, the Januaries' self-titled debut fuses smooth, Bacharach-inspired pop, '60s rock, and slinky trip-hop elements into a surprising and distinctive collection of songs. Though singer/guitarist Debbie Diamond's throaty vocals sound equally good on strutting rockers like "Black Transmission" and "Summer of Love" as well as seductive numbers such as "Love Met the Devil" and "Chocolate and Strawberries," it's the Januaries' fragile, striking ballads that make the album so refreshing; "The Girl's Insane" and "Jon Sings" have a certain bittersweet panache that recalls the best '60s pop laments. Similarly, the Blondie-esque "Angel Eye" and Sandie Shaw-like "Love Has Flown" reaffirm that the Januaries can borrow from tradition without being a slave to it. Stylish yet irony-free, The Januaries is an impressive and worthwhile debut. Heather Phares, All Music Guide

January 31, 2001: From the first few notes of ?Juliette? to the last bar of ?Stare at the Sun? (the hidden bonus track from their previous EP), The Januaries are like a breath of fresh air serving up your favorite cocktail. Very `Austin Powers? `60s pop influenced, this debut CD covers a lot of territory while being faithful to their chosen sound. In other words, it?s not a genre-hopping mishmash, but a collection of pop gems with enough variety in mood and style to be consistently interesting and truly enjoyable. Standout tracks are the organ infused ?Love Met The Devil?, ?Love Has Flown? with it?s `I?m-almost-not-sad-anymore-about-our-breakup? mixture of contradictory feelings, and the rockin? ?Black Transmission? & ?Angel Eyes?. I wholeheartedly recommend this CD!
