JFIGURE, Something familiar from someone out-of-the-box.

There is something familiar about JFigure.

Her songs, which you might think you've heard before, bouyant and emotive, can accompany one in both a lazy Sunday driving or a honeyed after-work coffee break. She conveys these in a full-grown mature voice that can effortlessly compare to the range of Belle and Sebastian's vocals—a voice that can either tear up or mend. Her lyrics are clear-cut, unpretentious and real—melodically getting simple and real-life experiences across each line and stanza. And this familiarity about her, as one could discover, is an obscure reflection of ourselves.

This is what JFigure masterfully does: she keeps her words and music so austere and proverbial that one would instantly claim them his own. JFigure carefully puts into positively memorable songs simple day-to-day events anybody could encounter and makes them something familiar—like an open-ended masterpiece anyone can pen.

Imagine heartbreak or a common longing for someone special, an unsettling circumstance of a short-lived romance. Imagine a state in your life where there was great loss. Imagine loving someone so deeply that you can hardly speak. When such merriments call for baffling words, JFigure strays away from that urge and pours her heart out in an utterly forthright fashion without losing their truthfulness and solemnity. What sets her apart from other acoustic artists that span today's roster of songsters is her ability to craft emotions with such recognition. Her songwriting transcends metaphors and symbolism and keeps emotions revered and aground.

She does it simple. But bequeaths a mark.

This songwriter has been playing guitar and writing her own songs for more than two decades now. Her inspirations, which come from the most minute of feelings to the grandest situations, had helped her grow abilities to infuse vast sentiments in plain remarkable words. She puts creativity and arts together in an interplay of guitar, percussion and other instruments to best express the feeling of defeat, triumph, passion and all else present in between.

Her vocals, most significantly, play the key role to her uniqueness. Above the lyrics that revolve around general subjects and themes like love, pain and truth that she unreservedly breathes into existences, her distinctive voice makes her mystique worth the attention. Simply put, she's a discovery worth unraveling.

Not too long ago, a market testing was done in Australia to determine if JFigure could go across cultures. The discs, made up on only four tracks, were then distributed to different people—British, Australians, Chileans, and Asians - to ascertain her market impact. After the CD ran out of stocks, people from different continents—those who were given access to her genius—came storming in with terrific reception. They recommended her voice that could cradle a baby to sleep, her songs that could soothe like Chamomile tea, her lyrics that are as simple and profound as the ones they scribble on their diaries and her album that deserve better mileage.

This is what had driven No Borders Unlimited her current label, to sign her as their very first artist. By then, the melancholic JFigure was born. To think that her tracks were still raw and unmixed at that time, the exciting impression of her music and album—now an eight-track opus—was just starting. And as they bring it into a new-fangled light, JFigure makes sure she takes us, out of the box, with her.

Completely Yours
'Completely Yours' Everything expressed effortlessly.

JFigure's first offering lives up to its name.

'Completely Yours' is a triumphant marvel, fusing diarist lyrics—from the profound to the plain— with infectious acoustic rifts one could mistake for a long-serving Western talent. For someone still unsung to come up with a record of such resilience and ingenuity is outstanding; Jfigure comes out as unique as an Annie Lennox hit.

Aptly titled, the album brings into clear light eight delightful tracks that encapsulate simple everyday experiences into entrancing easy-listening music. As each song natter of hartbreak, love and otehr nuisance, the impressive blend of the instruments accompany you to a heartfelt story 'Completely Yours' offers.

It starts off on a right foot with 'This Song,' a reflective love song about days passing quickly and change always in the air — the universal longing to bury a special instant from one's memory. JFigure, with the help of the song's gentle approach and effortless guitar on the background, takes this ordinary theme into an infectious level.

'Kaleidoscope,' another expressive song from Jfigure's pen no less, proves how simplistic poetry mingled with cachy melody can make a difference. And I laugh to the irony of love, creating a chain to my heart — a mixture of different hues, as the song goes, will not fail to create one in yours.
