On August 18, Jackie posted on Instagram and YouTube about who she currenlty most likes musically and who might influence her most musically these days. When I looked up and listened to those she listed I was quite surprised to find they were rock groups composed of all male singer/songwriters and musicians. Not a female among them. This was the comment I posted on Instgram to her post. "The lyrics in these artist's songs (and I've read them all) are poetic and even insightful. But the melodies that deliver them, to me, sound harsh, cliched and don't match the narrative. But interesting to hear what Jackie's personal taste in music seems to be. i.e. classic Gen-Z." What if any influence might they have had on her latest compositions Get Out of My Life and Behind My Eyes?

What if any influence might they have had on her latest compositions Get Out of My Life and Behind My Eyes? "Behind My Eyes" is categorized Alternative pop Definition: "pop music that has broad appeal but that is produced by performers who are outside the musical mainstream and that is typically regarded as more original, eclectic, or musically or intellectually challenging than most pop music....called also alt-pop" What Jackie appreciates is what those bands have in common...."the ability to paint images with their music, using poetry but simple enough to understand what they're talking about"..... not much different from what she said about Joni Mitchell's music. She also loves their unique "experimental sounds". Jackie says she wants to implement these aspects of their music in her own, not necessarily sound like either of them. It seem to me that she will have her own unique sound, "a new sound" as Melody Place described it, with simple poetic lyrics. I expect you will know when BME is released how similar it is to any of the artists she mentioned, if at all. Comparing Jackie with other artists doesn't interest me, particularly now as a composer of her own music. I don't know that Get Out of My Life will be on the new album. Perhaps it will.
