Jessica Xavier
The new CD by Jessica Xavier, Changeling, takes the listener
back to the ’80s beat, and a wide spectrum of early memories.
Xavier’s lyrics deal with the lives of the entire Gay community, and
also manage to specifically address the transsexual/transgender
community.
In the song, "This Girl," Xavier tells the coming out story of a girl
who is set free by her own individuality. This is the story of someone who
is grappling to understand other people, and why they are put off by her
own uniqueness.
"The Woman in You" expresses the balance of femininity in all genders.
The song motivates listeners to feel fabulous about themselves, as the
singer revels in the right to express her own inner queen.
The album as a whole takes on many subjects and is strongly
connected to the singer’s personal life. Xavier takes us through pain,
fights, pride, vanity, and joy. As a whole, the CD is a personal journey
that some may follow from beginning to end, while others will find
specific songs or verses with which they can identify.
The provocative lyrics tackle diverse subject matter. Xavier uses a
wide range of instruments, including piano, assorted acoustics, and
a synthesizer. The beat is lively and will easily get inside your head.
The vocals are probably an acquired taste -- some listeners will enjoy them
and some won’t. But Xavier’s uninhibited voice adds to the message and if
you really listen, the true quality of the songs shines through.
