Editorial Review:
The You and the Now is French Canadian singer and cellist Jorane's English-language début. Boasting production by Michael Brook, writing by Lisa Germano and Simon Wilcox, and the appearance of Daniel Lanois on "Pour ton sourire" (the only Francophone track), it's undoubtedly her best album yet. Though it's more rhythmic and less vaporous and mannered than her previous outings, it remains a Jorane album--one on which every track is worth hearing.
Categorizing Jorane and her music is not an easy task because of the unique way this talented artist expresses voice and instrument to create a sound that is distinctively her own. Jorane's haunting voice and virtuoso cello playing captivates her audience by weaving sonic dreamscapes.
On her new album, The You and the Now, Jorane explores new musical terrritory by embracing the power of words. For the first time, she has collaborated with other songwriters in order to deliver a deeply personal and introspective body of work to a new audience in the U.S. Jorane invited into the studio distinquished writers; Lisa Germano (Simple Minds, Indigo Girls), Simon Wilcox (Three Days Grace, Randy Bachman) and Shira Myrow. Produced by the innovative Michael Brook (Brian Eno, The Pogues, Youssou N'Dour), The You and the Now is a collection of songs that will appeal to those looking for something more unique than the average singer-songwriter. This release also includes a duet with the inimitable Daniel Lanios, who wrote and lends his voice and guitar playing to the only French song on this album "Pour ton sourire."
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - An Original, Pure And Simple
Jorane's album is original, inspirational and lovely. The vocals are beautiful while the lyrics are slightly loopy and poetic at the same time. The version of Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' is a wholly new imagining of the song and quite possibly the highlight of this recommended work. Perfect for a rainy afternoon.
Rating: - Simply Stunning
This album was a blind buy for me: I'd never heard of Jorane prior to seeing her cd advertised as part of a 6 Degrees promotion. It's been two days and I can not stop listening. This music is contemplative, mature, and decadent. The attention Jorane gives to her instrument is nothing short than the love DuPre lavished upon her own cello. A resounding "hurrah" for brave, innovative music which challenges musical expectations without audacity. The composition, "Film III" is beautiful. Put it on, turn ... Read More
Rating: - A very talented cellist
I came across Jorane's fantastic performance aired on an Arts Channel in Canada, and was enthralled by her music. She is not only a very talented young cellist, but her voice is melodious and haunting. Jorane has a unique style of singing and her performances are nothing short of mesmerising. On this CD, she doesn't fall short on expectations. This CD is even better than her last one (if that can be imagined!). Listen to I Feel Love and Pour Ton Sourire. Brilliant music Jorane.
Rating: - Unique. And beautiful.
I know Jorane since a long time, I bought every single albums she made so far (I'm from Quebec), because you never know what the next song, the next mood will be; this album is up to her reputation: creative, outstanding, unique. You have everything: her famous non-lyrical songs, sad and touching Red Mountains, even an "I Feel Love" remix! Every tracks is worth hearing.
This is a must, for those of you who want something different.
