It's the guitars that do it. 

You might bring up that idea of changing singers with Dengue Fever. Every day. Please.

She is NO Aimee Mann or 'Til Tuesday, that is for sure.

What do you mean 'or'.  Those are both Aimee Mann...

.. And Jenny is what she is.  I like her just fine, even if she's not Aimee.

Love this band - intelligent lyrics with meaning and humour. A talented bunch - more Rilo Kiley on RP please.

She really has a Cobain vibe.  I'm thinking Cobain on the Unplugged album singing Meat Puppets' "Lake of Fire".  Anyone?

Edit: I should add that I'm not familiar with the original, so maybe it reminds someone of Meat Puppets instead of Kurt Cobain!

Nice hollow guitar sound.  The song is worth listening to just for that reason.

I'm surprised only one person made the 'til Tuesday link. Her voice (at least on this song) is a dead ringer for Aimee Mann's. I like it.

Could play this one back-back with the Minnie Driver song. You know, actors turned singers. Trying to think of others and drawing a blank.

Usually it goes the other way - musicians turned actors. Glen Frey, Little Steven, Will Smith, etc.

The guitar riffs remind me of Big Country. I'm not sure if that's good or bad .

No. I'll agree with you anyway. She still sounds a little like Kate though.

I agree with the Amazon review: "very radio friendly, mainstream, toned down, overproduced." If I knew where to find that little icon of the smiley pounding his head against a wall, I'd put that right here.
