As someone whose creative boundaries know no bounds, from filmmaker and teen author to internet media developer to food writer, it comes as no surprise that when it comes to her music it works to the same high bench marks she has set herself in her other endeavours. Taken from the album Escape Emotion, Knell is a heady blend of modern pop, chilled dance, washes of classical texture and emotive ambience.
Pop can be many things, such is the breadth of ideas it carries but here instead of pandering to its more obvious elements, Jennifer Zhang works in its dreamier and more exotic climes, a place more about intangible atmospherics and subtle musical motifs than the bolder and blatantly obvious hook laden pop that is the generic norm.
