			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My new CD has just received a 5/5 review from Alejandro Clavijo, of <span class="ital">Reviews New Age</span> (Spain). You can read the original review here (in Spanish): www.reviewsnewage.com/janeellen.html</p>
<p>He also kindly provided an English translation, which is as follows:<span id="more-341"></span> </p>
<p><span class="ital">&#8216;Following My Heart&#8217; is the fourth publication of piano solos the versatile pianist and composer Jane Ellen, besides being the last work that closes a trilogy of albums that began in 2004 with the album &#8216;From My Heart&#8217; and later, &#8216;Seasons of the Heart&#8217;. Written in the summer of 2009 (a very tough year on the personal for the artist), &#8216;Following My Heart&#8217; is composed of fourteen tracks of multiple hues. Halfway between New Age and Jazz, Jane gives us a perfect background music to enjoy a moment of utter isolation, or in good company. Beautiful and peaceful pieces suitable for relaxation, meditation or the most romantic moments, some of them, adorned with beautiful instruments accompanying the piano for Jane.</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">Accompanied by percussion of Kenn Battat and bass of Sid Fendley, Jane brings to life &#8220;Raindance&#8221;, the most optimistic and cheerful piece of this album. With rhythm, the piano plays a fun melody, conveying positive energy and Life to the listener. Fantastic piece and one of my favourites!</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">&#8220;Keeper of my Heart&#8221; is the longest track on the album, almost five minutes and presents a loving and tender melody with a small degree of nostalgia. The arpeggios in the low area of the piano and the sad melody that draws the right hand, maintain an emotional and sweet conversation. Beautiful!</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">With nostalgia and melancholy, Jane plays &#8220;Vision of the Past.&#8221; With a gentle start, nostalgia becomes a painful sadness, a melody that flows slowly offering a disheartening tone to the piece. Tribute for those who are no longer among us.</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">Some little bells give way to &#8220;Garden of Memory&#8221;, again, a beautiful and captivating piece that makes nostalgic remembering beautiful moments lived. An amazing piece where the piano is accompanied by a wind instrument that emphasizes more so the feeling of longing. Simply wonderful and exciting. Another of my favourites!</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">&#8220;Deep Peace&#8221; is a perfect theme for times of quiet. Hypnotic, soft chord progressions are accompanied by furtive high notes, creating a pleasant environment, ideal for moments of reflection or rest.</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">A prayer to heaven is launched &#8220;High King of Heaven.&#8221; A warm and friendly composition that fills the listener of well-being is reproduced by the right hand, while the left accompanies graceful playing chords and progressions. A beautiful piece that puts a smile on the listener. I love it.</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">With &#8220;Colours of My Life&#8221; back the rythm. Thanks to the percussion of Ken and Sid Bass, The Jane&#8217;s piano returns exciting and waited touch smiling of the beginning. A energetic melody makes this piece is fascinating. Again, another of my favourites! Wow!</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">The most romantic theme of this work is entitled &#8220;Circle in Time&#8221;, where Dan Wright accordion joins in harmony with the gentle piano melody that draws Jane. Both give life to a piece with air Argentine italo, a music between from the magnificent tango and the passionate Italian music, all interspersed with images of Bella Italia. Amazing piece, suprising!. Another of my favourites!</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">&#8220;Early One Morning&#8221; is lively, where Jane&#8217;s piano playing a marvellous melody, rhythmic, accompanied by delicate percussion of Ken and his &#8220;hat hit&#8221; that follows the piano from start to finish, marking with the low notes of keyboard the tempo of the piece. Not being too fast, the piece is ideal as background music for an evening in good company. Another of my favourites!</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">&#8220;Hold Fast to Dreams&#8221; has the most moving melody throughout the album. With great excitement, Jane will give life to a piece that manages to captivate the listener. It&#8217;s amazing the feelings that surface when he heard this wonderful piece. Another of my favourites!</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">&#8220;Haven of Stone&#8221; draws the heart to an overwhelming sense of loneliness and a feeling of loss. A piece, which gives life the sad arpeggios of the left hand and a brought down melody that draws the right hand. Very depressed.</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">A touch on the high notes of the piano give way to &#8220;Autumn Skies,&#8221; a lighthearted piece, with an air of freedom that invites you to dream with a colorful place, bathed with a reddish sky. A beautiful melody that soothes the soul.</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">&#8220;Late at Night&#8221; is an extremely calm and relaxed, perfect for start a dream. With a course slow, the melody makes her way to silence, providing a unique sensitivity to the track, delicate, soft. Perfect for moments of relaxation or meditation. Another of my favourites!</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">A pleasant surprise awaits us in the last track of this work. &#8220;Follow Your Heart&#8221; is a song endowed with a startling beauty. Sweet and personal voice of Jane appears making perplex to the listener. An unexpected and stunning end for this amazing album. Wow!</span></p>
<p><span class="ital">&#8216;Following My Heart&#8217; is a work has a unique sensibility. An intimate musical background for unforgettable moments, perfect to enjoy in good company or just to indulge in a deep listening and to rest. It&#8217;s amazing! &#8216;Following My Heart&#8217; is an album highly recommended and is available on Amazon, CDBaby, and iTunes.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first review is in at <a href="www.cdbaby.com/cd/janeellen4">CDBaby</a> and it&#8217;s another 5-star review! Composer Tim Fatchen of Flying Tadpole Music writes: &#8220;Light jazz sparkles frame a smilingly meditative album: This last in Jane Ellen&#8217;s &#8220;Following My Heart&#8221; series is a big step up! Yes, there&#8217;s a lot of her trademark quietly meditative piano, soothing to listen to, with more smile than earlier CDs. But through the album dances happy uplifting bright light jazz, particularly the 5/4 opener Raindance or the foot-tapper Colours of My Life. And there&#8217;s the crystalline Autumn Skies, the almost Parisian ambience of Circle in Time. And the lovely, different harmonic settings in High King of Heaven. Buy!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m pleased to announce that <span class="ital">Following My Heart</span> has now been listed on <a>Amazon.com</a> and will soon be added to the mp3 store on Amazon as well. The first review is by George Gesner of <a href="http://www.bluenovemberrecords.com/">Blue November Records</a> and carries 5-stars: &#8220;New age artist Jane Ellen has emerged from her dark and trying times this year with a ray of light in Following My Heart, her third in a series of original piano music. With the loss this past year of her mother and other dear friends, Jane created these works as a catharsis to purge the tension and sorrow with a sense of peace and a ray of hope. Jane continues to get stronger and more inspiring with each release.<span id="more-280"></span> Witness her range from the haunting and enchantingly melancholy Garden of Memory and then hear her shift gears to the lively light jazzy feel of Colours of My Life. Listen to Keeper of My Heart and you will be transported to a tender and romantic cinematic landscape. And possibly my favorite is Circle in Time which reminds me of one of my favorite films, the whimsical and endearing King of Hearts. If you don&#8217;t get the reference, then imagine yourself sipping a cafe au lait in a French cafe. This standout track features Dan Wright with a beautiful accordion accompaniment. As you dive in and embrace Jane Ellen&#8217;s music, you can sense the imagery and the lyrical nature of her compositions, even though there are no words or vocals. However, as a real treat for all Jane Ellen fans, she actually steps out from the shadows of the piano to sing on the poignant title track. It is such a fitting and heartfelt moment to end this remarkable CD.&#8221;</p>
