Beautiful Oct 02, 2009
Listening to this album was just an amazing experience for me. It was somewhat unexpected, since I was familiar only with her album Siren which is more pop/rock style music. What treat this was though. A more grown up and mature Heather Nova pouring her heart into her music. A gorgeous voice singing along with her guitar. Beautifully orchestrated songs all written by herself. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the songs are introspective. In the song "Hollow" her voice just soars. What else to say? Go buy it ... how could anyone be disappointed with this!!!?

"Do Yourself A Favour" Apr 10, 2009
You must get this album. It can be downloaded, not necessarily here, but elsewhere. If you can't then get it here. It is well worth the price, even in US currency. I love Heather Nova, and personally, it doesn't matter if it is a little different to her other albums. If you are not a Nova fan, then listen to a track, if you like, then buy it.

BEAUTIFUL SONGS Apr 05, 2009
If you are unfamiliar with HEATHER NOVA--you should buy this CD. It is hard to find and I know for a fact it is not yet available in the USA. You have to buy it from GERMANY (EBAY) or a retailer on Amazon that can import the title. There are some beautiful songs on this Cd. Acoustic and bare. The two best tracks are "Out in new Mexico" a song whose melody is haunting and original and "Follow Me in Grace" a very personal and interesting song. if you compare this CD to Heather's early works such as OYSTER you will probably be disappointed because this work does not feature the lush production nor complex rhythms and beats. nor is it as MANIC and INTENSE. yet it does succeed on a simpler level. This Cd does feature heather's vocals at her best, her songwriting has far exceeded any other recent efforts that sold poorly and is well worth the purchase price. This is not a Sell out CD-it is still an artist doing what she feels is her best work. I highly reccomend this CD.

Passionate songs for a most rewarding album Dec 30, 2008
This might be her best album ever... However, this is not for all fans of Heather Nova, especially those who expect rock or pop albums such as Oyster or Siren. The Jasmise Flower is introspective music, sometimes sad with plenty of soft guitar, strings and voice. In retrospect, please remember that there were songs in the same vein in each of her albums.
Among the most exquisite songs on this very homogenous but rewarding album, please note: Say Something; Out in New Mexico; Always Christmas (the only upbeat song which ends the album). On the negative side, (1) some may consider this as boring music (Is Joan Baez boring?) and (2) the picture on the front sleeve may give the impression that this is for a perfume advertisement. The Jasmine Flower is more than a perfume...!
This album is only available as import. This is unlikely that we might have the chance to see her performing outside of Europe (except the Bahamas). This is too bad because this music is very far from today's mainstream music: this is a call from an angel voice.
