Listener comments about DeJu (88787)
From the Artists website:
Q: "What language is she singing in? Does she know what she's saying?"
A: Janubia's language arrived inncocently. As a child, she would sing... Sing while she walked to school... Sing while she was in her room... Sing (loudly) in the bathroom at resteraunts (or so her father says with a chuckle). When she wasn't vocalizing some 'known' song, she was hatching her own, or in her words, "singing what was in my heart."
So, does Janubia actually know what she's singing about?
"Most of the time", she replies with a smile, "however it's not always a literal knowing. Sometimes it's an inner journey or perhaps, in my mind, I'm on a beach or a mountainside with a situation in hand and on my heart.
So, if Janubia knows what she's singing about, why doesn't she tells us. Why not translate the lyrics?
"I can tell you every image I remember while recording the songs, thoughts that went through my head or the basic direction and thrust - but I'd rather not. I've thought long and hard about this. I don't want people to listen with my definition coloring their musical adventure. I'd rather they let their own colors emerge..."
Janubia was born in Omaha, NE; raised primarily in Colorado; schooled a few years at Berklee School of Music in Boston, MA. and currently lives in Los Angeles, CA. She is presently recording an E.P as well as her second CD.
