In just four years, singer-songwriter JENNIFER SARAN has gone from best-kept-secret status to being hailed as one of the freshest new voices in alt-pop/adult contemporary music. Fans have been speculating as to what SARAN will do next, and now that answer is upon us: Jazz. On September 20, the Hong Kong-based singer releases the five-song EP SMOKY NIGHTS (Tarpan Records), produced by Narada Michael Walden, that sees her fully embracing the moody and melancholy genre she's loved her entire life.
