Jenny Bruce will immediately touch listeners with her own inimitable vocal style. Little more is needed during Complicated Hearts than Bruce and her guitar, the combination of which makes for a varied and deep introduction to her Firefly in a Jar EP. 
The titular track to his EP has an intimate and contemplative touch that is highlighted to the richness of Bruce’s guitar arrangements. The unification of these two elements during Change, a Holly Knight original allows Bruce to add her own unique flair to the mix. Giving Up The Ghost is a wonderful conclusion to this EP, showcasing Bruce’s ability to create something that would work well on radio.
