| New review of This Misery Is The Company I Love |
| Fri, Dec. 3 2004 |
"This exceptionally elegant ballad reaveals a maturity above and beyond what's expected of a very young singer/songwriter. Jillian Santella creates an exceptionally strong and memorable hook. Her sweet, smooth vocal is a perfect fit for commercial radio. Few listeners will have any trouble relating to lines like 'It's the chaos that I crave' - perfect in their simplicity.
The arrangements building up from piano to electric rock band are tastefully done. Excellent dynamics breaking down to the title line, 'this misery is the company I love.'
Jillian's performance and composition along with the production make this young artist a 'must-listen!' I recommend stopping back at this site often as new musical gems are made available!"
