    Overall, Jem's songcraft is only ambitious in relation to a genre often defined by a "blander is better" pleasure principle.

    A refreshing batch of summery, carefree downtempo songs. [May 2004, p.85]

    With melodies like these, Jem could be singing lyrics like "Mentos, fresh and full of life" and you'd still never forget the tune. Indeed, upon closer inspection the words she does sing are not much better than a TV jingle.
