New York-based singer songwriter Heather Masse, well known as a member of the acclaimed Juno-award winning Canadian band “The Wailin’ Jennys,” is just releasing her first full length solo album BIRD SONG via the record label Red House, an authentic autumn collection of remarkable acoustic pop and jazz songs, following her last year flawless jazz/folk five-track EP Many Moons.

Alternately melancholy and playful, BIRD SONG highlights both Masse’s gorgeous voice and its tremendous versatility. But it also shows that she’s a talented songwriter. She wrote the words and music for all thirteen songs on the album with the exception of the lyrics of one song, which she co-wrote with Nicky Mehta, a fellow member of The Wailin’ Jennys. While “Bird Song” is primarily jazz-influenced pop, it shows off Masse’s songwriting versatility as well. It ranges from the haunting Norah Jones inspiration jazz-folk ballad “Chosen” to the Alison Krauss style, gospel-tinged “Over the Mountain,” to the sassy and rollicking country boogie “High Heeled Woman“. It slips from the sultry jazz-blues of a steaming-hot “Bathtub” into the playfully seductive pop “Mittens“.
