"As a resident of a heaving metropolis, Jade is no stranger to the pollution nor the torrential rain, whereas her music is without a province, and is, instead, angelically sang straight from a sublime imagination, in a way which speaks to anyone who yearns to be soothed by gentle, modest tones. Jade's harmonies are unsullied, and carry a blissful innocence; while her lyrics maturely contemplate and observe the intricacies of what it's like to still have a fully-functioning soul in the 21st century. She does this with such an intimate honesty, her songs could char the viscera of the biggest of cynics (although they may not admit to it).

Similarities can be drawn to singer-songwriters such as Dot Allison and Joni Mitchell, but more in mood than sound; one would be rash to describe Jade's music as 'folk', as her songs are played from the mind, creating an idiosyncratic, ethereal atmosphere which takes any attentive listener by the hand, to a place of reflection.

The live experience of Jade Ann's artistry begins a few seconds before she begins to play: the fact that she wears her introversion so unashamedly and candidly, suggests that she's not the spotlight-seeking theatrical type, therefore her being on stage in spite of this is precisely the reason that she belongs there; this is affirmed in the first few notes, when Jade begins to express herself with unfeigned, inimitable humility and song-writing prowess.

The meek may not inherit the earth, but if the right people harken, acts like Jade will reclaim music."
