A young Australian duo that has some serious musical talent in a genre that often downplays technical skills, Jadey play a mean piano and the girls excel at heavenly harmonies. The compositions feature smatterings of fairly advanced chord changes that one associate's with sophisticated pop music. All six songs on 56k Hearts are very well-crafted pop gems.
Lyrically speaking, this is straight up teeny cuteness without a great deal of resonance to older listeners – songs titles like "I Used To Write Bad Poetry", and "Boy From Canada" might give an indication of the subject matter: mainly boys and the trials and travails of a growing up twee. "The Subterraneans" provides a charmingly youthful diversion into the world of Jack Kerouac.
Lyrical wince-factor for older listeners aside , pop fans will love Jane Vs World's candy-coated pop.
