Down to Earth
by Jem
from ATO RECORDS / RED

Customer Reviews:

• Avg. Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0

• Good Sophomore Effort
  Jem's first album, Finally Woken, was excellent, but it took a long time for this follow-on to come out. It's a good album with a little wider variety of songs than her first one. "It's Amazing", the Sex and the City song, is the best one here, but aside from the awful "Aciiid!", all the others are good ones. If you liked Finally Woken or It's Amazing and are wondering whether to take the plunge on this album, it's definitely worth it.

• Not as Good as Finally Woken
  I am a huge fan of Jem's first album, Finally Woken, and purchased this one on the authority of the reviewers who said it was as good or better. Having listened to it a few times, I'm afraid I have to disagree. By far the best track on the CD is the title track, "Down to Earth". But even that one isn't as good as "24" from Finally Woken. "Aciiid!" is an almost-successful foray into the hip-hop genre, but ultimately lacks the edginess that makes for decent hip-hop. Most of the songs here unfortunately are... more info

• Different
  After many weeks of listening to this CD, I would say that I would recommend it to other Jem fans, however, it has a very different sound when compared to her older CD. So if you were completely hooked on how she sounded on the old CD then you will be disappointed otherwise it's a great buy.

• Jem does it again!
  I discovered Jem through a friend of mine. Her first album helped me get through a pretty rough period in my life. This album has done the same. For the most part her sound is the same as it was on Finally Woken (1st album).
  I love her voice, very relaxed and soothing. I like to listen to this while I'm doing yoga or out riding my bike. Would definately recommend this album to anyone.
