Editorial review

In the '70s, no one did more to bridge the gap between soul and the folk-pop/folk-rock/soft rock world than Roberta Flack, who acquired a very interracial following and managed to appeal to Aretha Franklin and Chaka Khan enthusiasts as well as the Joni Mitchell/Joan Baez/Judy Collins crowd. Hits like "Killing Me Softly With His Song" and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" were played on R&B stations, but they also had enough of a singer/songwriter aesthetic to win over what was essentially a '70s equivalent of today's Lilith Fair audience. It isn't hard to understand why, three decades later, singer/songwriter KJ Denhert was invited to open for Flack; Girl Like Me is the perfect marriage of neo-soul and folk-rock/adult alternative sensibilities (with hints of jazz at times). Flack, in fact, is among Denhert's influences, as are Khan, Mitchell, Janis Ian, and James Taylor (Carly Simon's James Taylor, not J.T. Taylor of Kool & the Gang fame). But while Denhert has her musical points of reference, Girl Like Me demonstrates that she is a talented, expressive storyteller in her own right -- and she obviously doesn't believe in confining herself to one genre. Denhert has a lot to offer fans of Alicia Keys, Macy Gray, Jill Scott, and Erykah Badu, but anyone who is seriously into Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Colvin, or the Indigo Girls also needs to pay close attention to her. While Girl Like Me is dominated by Denhert's own songs, she provides a few memorable covers as well (including a slightly bossa nova-ish take on the Police's "Message in a Bottle" and an unlikely remake of the Beatles' "She Loves You"). This very promising effort demonstrates that while Denhert isn't easy to pigeonhole, she is very easy to enjoy. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

Bio / Background

When you see KJ Denhert perform you will be drawn in by her artistry as a

singer and as a fine guitarist. Each musical set is a tight mix of rhythm,

wit, and passion. For KJ, there is only one adventure more fulfilling than

songwriting and that adventure unfolds on the stage. Her songs are a calling

card, always unique and then familiar. It is the honesty of her performance

and the love of what she is doing on stage that will move you. She is an

experienced bandleader who plays without a net, and that makes her fun to

watch.

New York native, KJ calls her music Urban Folk and Jazz though it is rooted

in Funk and R & B. "The Jazz", she explains, "comes from people's perceptions

of my guitar voicings and the structure of the tunes themselves... using extended solos and the players working off of each other.
