YOU BE THE JUDGE: FAN PICKS WITH SHE SAID/AUSTRALIA

We talked to Jenny of She SaiD/ Australia to get her fan picks for this week’s “You Be The Judge” feature.  She picked some wonderful and diverse tracks that we’re excited to share!

Stats: 5 Judging Excellence awards, 1 Connector and 1 Super Connector badge as a Fan, 2 Top Ten finishes and 2 Channel wins as an Artist.

Bio: Jenny has been involved in the music industry since 1979. She supported tons of major Aussie bands with her cover band Kool Change back in the day. After taking a break to have her two children, she was back as part of Hillbilly Dix and now She SaiD. Jenny has a strong presence on OurStage and was thrilled when we asked her to pick some tracks to feature this week.

“I’ve decided to choose 3 of my fave songs from brand new artists here @ OurStage, in the view to maybe helping these songs and artists to get more established here. I know how hard it is when you’re a new member, to get your material heard and to build a fan base. So I hope this helps them out a little…”

The Way You Say My Name by Draz for Singer-Songwriter (Male)

“Right from the intro of this song, I was hooked by the drum pattern and knew I was going to love it !!! Kind of unpredictable throughout the song, but has a lilting flow, taking you to different feels and emotions…I really love the space, warmth and how it builds and pulls back…
‘The Way You say My Name’ is cleverly written and performed beautifully along with Draz’s infectious voice.”

Budapest by David Rome for Experimental

“The distant but evident sound of a trumpet is the introduction to this interesting and creative track, leading to a Middle Eastern feel and vocal style. I love this track particularly of David’s, because each listen, I’m hearing something different, new and exciting. I feel this is a true example of ‘experimental’ with the blending and use of different styles and instrumentation… Exciting and Unique…”

American Spirit by Crosstide for Folk

“‘American Spirit’ speaks for itself really….Very deep, beautifully constructed piece of music with the use of string instruments & horns at its best..Incredibly expressive, moving and somewhat mesmorizing lyrically, vocally and musically..Flows effortlessly, emotionally taking you along for the ride…This song lifts you high and then gently places you back down to a safe, peaceful place. I know I will be listening to ‘American Spirit’ very often. Really love it!!!!”
