Release Notes:


The music of tis record is like coming from another planet: the groove is
there, Tess magical voice and a fabulous rock sound that you don't find
everywhere else! The German girl with Texan roots authentically transports
atmospheres and moods and it all works true and genuine for the listener. Just
music that is roots-oriented and handmade anyway. Everything here is real. Tess
succeeds more and more with her songwriting, I feel the songs are even worked
out better than the last time. Among the ten new recordings is also the song
"How Does Silence Feel" (#2) which first appeared on a sampler in the USA in
2002. Other than that there is a new version of the classic Tess song "Delicate
Skin" (#6) which is truly wonderful and kind of "smooth." The title track "Not
Quite Me" (#1) und the closing "This Shadow" (#10) are the stand out smash hits
of this record and I suggest to release them as radio singles: infectious rock
beat with parts of acoustic guitar, beautiful hook lines and simply a sound that
is "fast forward." Beside this, "This Shadow" is a tribute to the whole
Tess-crew and all her supporters for helping her throughout the years.

Well, Tess and her band surely don't make typical top40 charts music but the
album just contains some hits! It's all a beautiful symphony and the song
selection is the perfect mix for fans of an indie rock outfit and for Emo pop
fans. Tess and her musicians also tried some new things and so we can hear nice
background vocals and handclaps which add a new dimension to her already wide
broadened sound. - Please more of that in the future.
