Comment: Jane Siberry (born in 1955) is a Canadian pop diva who started off her career in the early of the 80`s and who had launched a couple of hit songs from this period either. However, Siberry is always being a little bit quirky musician who has crossbreeded more common and more unusual elements with each other mixing up synthetic, electronic kind of pop music with highly arty approach of classical and chamber music. By the attitude of her Siberry can be compared with the likes of Kirsty MacColl, Bjork, Lisa Gerrard, Kirsty Hawkshaw, and Kate Bush. The ladies who have frequently sacrified their possible economical benefits for substantive aesthetical approach and thanks to it to be more devotedly followed and honoured. At
When I Was A Boy are represented her quintessential kind of notches which are variegated due to Siberry`s incessantly changing roles within it (being longing, dark-minded, carelessly chiming - all of that is done in a very spectacular way). A dozen of songs represented there are moody, slightly vulnerable and due to it highly enjoyable. The album which is considered to be the internationally most famous one of her is released under Siberry`s own Sheeba Records (initially on Reprise) and is available at her home site. Produced by Brain Eno, and Michael Brook. By the way, Siberry comes out from Guelph, Ontario, from the same town being home for such nowadays rising indie stars like Memoryhouse, and Mathemagic.
