Review

Entertainment Weekly (p.71) - "[The album] draws attention to her lost-soul narratives....Her yarns prove just as lovely as they are doleful."

Title Note

Personnel: Jamie Edwards (keyboards); Paul Bryan (bass guitar, background vocals); Jay Bellerose (drums); Kimon Kirk, Sean Hayes, Buddy Judge (background vocals).

With SMILERS, the woman who came in on the crest of the New Wave with 'Til Tuesday in the 1980s and helped make power pop cool as a solo artist in the '90s, moves one step away from her overt pop tendencies towards a more '70s singer/songwriter sound. While there are plenty of elegantly unfurled melodies and carefully constructed tunes here, these songs are less centered on hooks and snappy guitar riffs, and lean more towards a reflective, acoustic-based approach. Tunes like the sunny, synth-laced opener, "Freeway," will slake longtime Aimee Mann fans' pop thirst somewhat, but a 47-year-old troubadour sometimes has more in mind than a catchy refrain, as the soul-searching likes of "Thirty One Today" (which admittedly also sports some snazzy synth) and the almost Elton John-ish piano ballad, "Medicine Wheel," make clear.
