Naylor’s CD, Shelter, is a mix of jazz, blues, pop and rock and contains 11 songs written by the artist. She also sings a very sensual version of ‘Miss You’ by the Rolling Stones.? Vogue “In the never-ending “next big thing” sweepstakes, bet on Jacqui Naylor to be a frontrunner. She bears a striking resemblance to Diana Krall and echos the Canadian diva’s roundly rich sound. Naylor’s voice suggests, though, a slightly deeper sensuality and is charged with a strong jolt of Norah Jones’ folk-jazz electricity. Her originals are Joni Mitchell good.” JazzTimes “With a sumptuous voice, knack for scratchiness, and ability to sweeten those bluesy bent notes with dramatized cabaret flavors, Jacqui sounds promising, ‘specially when she carves sensuality from heartfelt ballads and serves delicacy with those instrumentals.” Village Voice “Jazzy, folkish, bluesy, hipster and thoroughly contemporary vocalizations characterize Jacqui Naylor’s Shelter.” All About Jazz “This young jazz singer captivates with confidence and playfulness. Her songs get under a listener’s skin as only the best jazz vocals can.” Seattle Times “Billie Holiday’s inflections and a touch of June Christy.” San Francisco Examiner “Naylor’s voice is precise, languorous and very sexy. She has all the elements together…talent, looks and presence…I just don’t think anyone can learn to sing like this; it must be a natural, organic thing that comes from the heart, from the soul.” Los Angeles Jazz Scene “Jacqui has a cool and sultry style…her voice particularly appealing on her original pieces, suggesting that she may have found her calling as a singer/songwriter.” Times Correspondent “Billie Holiday but also June Christy and Anita O’Day, even Ella…but her clear singing and sexy calm demeanor make her takes her own.” Where Magazine Seattle Times Review
