Jukeboxes still exist- in the form of new CD releases.
Priscilla Renea’s debut CD Jukebox reflects the variety of songs a real jukebox contains, bringing a little taste of every genre to the musical banquet.
Renea opens with a little techno and vocals, which go a long way.
“Dollhouse” is her first single for a reason. With catchy beats and some well-crafted lyrics, this song is bound to earn her some loving.
And love is what this album preaches. Every song is a cry for self-respect, quality relationships and not tolerating anything less.
Her techno sounds include pop drums and piano ballads, with Renea’s voice adjusting in level and character for each song. She makes the CD a journey for listeners to bounce through.
Renea is probably more accessible to women, but don’t jump to conclusions too fast. Perhaps her pop tones and cheerful lyrics will be spirit-lifters for both sides of the gender coin.
