    Her solo album is indicative of her strength alone, but it also highlights her importance as a member of Warpaint.

    Right on! captures that nostalgia, and rarely, if ever, sounds dated.

    Occasionally, right on!'s stripped-down sonics are too restrained for their own good--"white devil" doesn't have the fuel it needs to truly ignite--but more often than not, the album offers a welcome glimpse of Lindberg on her own.

    The murky production sucks out some of the dynamics, but a few extra-spirited tracks push above the rest.

    With just a couple of standout tracks, this isn’t earth-shattering stuff--but it will resonate with existing Warpaint admirers, introducing Lindberg’s intoxicating siren call and reminding of the unique potency of her pin-sharp bass playing.

    By applying Warpaint’s thin sonic veneer to yet another decade past on right on!, jennylee runs in place rather than moving forward.

    It’s all immaculately executed (with help from Warpaint bandmate Stella Mozgawa on drums), just too often desperately unmemorable.

The vocals/lyrics serve an atmospheric, expressive function rather than a literal one. The songs are a moody post punk psychedelic pop that sound not unlike like the mother ship, Warpaint, but slightly more intriguing... and edgy. In a time of endless reconstructions of banal pop styles, this stands out. No wonder some of the critics were unsure...it is over their heads.… Expand

    Right On! is the solo debut album from the front lady of Warpaint herself, Jenny Lee.

    A good friend of mine, a huge Warpaint fan,    Right On! is the solo debut album from the front lady of Warpaint herself, Jenny Lee.

    A good friend of mine, a huge Warpaint fan, recommended me this album and I decided to give it try. My first impression wasn't really a positive one, after consecutive listens I still wasn't very impressed by it.

    The songwriting wasn't anything to write home about and were overly simplistic for my tastes and Jenny would just repeat the lyrics in the same redundant way. Tracks like the intro, "blind" and "white devil" felt directionless, almost up to the point they almost felt pointless.

    However, the songs that I did like on this record, "offerings", "boom boom", "he fresh" and to an extend "riot" and "bully" are songs that I will have in my rotation for the next couple of weeks. These songs were seeping with attitude, vibrancy and felt ambitious. "offerings" especially gave me some vibes from the recent My Brightest Diamond album "This Is My Hand".

    Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe I don't get the full artistic idea behind this record...
    But I do know that this album just simply did not resonate with me on the level that I hoped for.
