Jody Glenham

Focus Pull

BY Amanda AshPublished Feb 24, 2009

Sex, drugs and grand pianos, that's the most accurate way to describe Jody Glenham's music. The Vancouver-based singer-songwriter has a knack for producing a highly addictive brand of coffee shop pop, the kind that inspires you to dance on tables rather than hide behind a book. Focus Pull is Glenham's sophomore release and throughout the entire record the spunky chanteuse leads a quiet riot with jazzy keys and growling vocals. "Coffee Soaked" kicks off the disc, beckoning the listener to sit at her table and stay a while. Then "One Shot" takes things up a notch and before you know it, "Buttons" will have you doing espresso shooters and singing at the top of your lungs. Focus Pull's catchy melodies and irresistible energy just go to show Glenham's flair for the wilder side of soft music. That being said, make sure your coffee has a lid on it before you start listening.
