Hailing from Saskatchewan, Canada, Jess Moskaluke has taken her home country by storm with the release of her debut album, Light Up The Night. It’s full of radio friendly songs which combine country, pop and rock.
Opener Good Lovin’ is one such track, which sets the tone for the rest of Light Up The Night. The following track, Cheap Wine & Cigarettes is one of the best songs on the album. Strong As It’s Ever Been, Moskaluke’s duet with fellow Canadian singer Bobby Wills, is another highlight, with great harmonies. Show You Crazy is the most country oriented song on the album. The tempo slows slightly with title track ballad Light Up The Night. Although all songs are of a similar style, they’re extremely catchy. Moskaluke has a powerful voice, and has created an album to match.
Jess Moskaluke’s star should continue to rise as a result of Light Up The Night. A fine debut which suggests she’s one to watch in the future.
