  13. Release Notes:
  15. 23 year-old New York City singer/songwriter Jillette Johnson will
  16. release her Wind-up Records debut album, Water In a Whale (track listing
  17. below), on June 25, 2013. Written by Jillette Johnson and produced by
  18. Peter Zizzo (Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, Vanessa Carlton) and Michael
  19. Mangini (David Byrne, Joss Stone), Water In A Whale is the follow up to
  20. her 2012 critically acclaimed EP, Whiskey & Frosting, which is available
  21. now.
  23. Johnson garnered numerous accolades for Whisky & Frosting with her
  24. depth and maturity in her songwriting, her soaring vocals and lyrics
  25. that prove to be everything from controversial to comforting to
  26. spiritually arousing. CMJ called it, ôàone of those rare debuts where
  27. you experience a young songwriter with a highly mature sense of artistic
  28. selfàItÆs an emotional five-song collection of stately pop from an
  29. unflinchingly honest artistö while Baeblemusic proclaimed, ôàit really
  30. takes something special to get our attention in this over saturated
  31. scene. Jillette Johnson is one of those remarkable talents who rose
  32. above to create one of the most exciting piano-driven EPs in recent
  33. memoryàHer genuine voice and expressiveness is only exceeded by her
  34. ability to craft magnificent songs.ö
  36. As a teen, Johnson left her small town of Pound Ridge, New York,
  37. population 4,000 to move to NYCÆs vibrantly creative LES neighborhood.
  38. In the years that followed, Johnson auditioned for and ultimately turned
  39. down a slot on The Voice to focus on songwriting then sign with Wind-up
  40. Records. All of JohnsonÆs songs tell a compelling story that draws the
  41. listener in. From her first single, the bravely vulnerable ôCameron,ö a
  42. song which ultimately got her signed to Wind-up, Johnson explores the
  43. struggle of being transgender and gives an inspiring voice about staying
  44. true to your authentic self to ôPauvre Coeurö (poor heart), a
  45. confessional song about love gone wrong that Paste Magazine calls
  46. ôàmelancholic sound from the piano and the true angst in JohnsonÆs voice
  47. make this a beautifully depressing song and videoö and Nylon Magazine
  48. exclaims, ôHer VOICE. Jillette can sing and sheÆs not afraid to let
  49. everyone know about it. She rips through this song like a rock opera.
  50. ItÆs a little La Boheme meets Carol King in her prime,ö Johnson is an
  51. artist that will draw you in with each story she tells.
  53. Wind-up Records and Jillette Johnson have teamed up with PledgeMusic to
  54. offer a unique pre-order campaign. Fans can pledge for any of the
