Scribblers Music Review

Jessi Teich, Twisted Soul. Expected that the “Cry Me a River” here would be the Julie London standard, but it’s the Justin Timberlake song by that name. It’s followed, naturally, but Teich singing (in “Someday”) that she’s made a deal with the devil. This is better-than-average smooth jazz, more sweet than sultry but full of intriguing mood swings. The title song is twisted indeed, as if “Fever,” jump-rope rhymes, cheesy disco rhythms and mainstream ‘50s club jazz were all thrown in a cauldron. Stranger still is “Diggin’ a Ditch,” a bluesy rap with calypso and David Lynchian moments.
