For fans of: Amanda Palmer, The Smiths, Emilyn Brodsky, Cabaret Punk

By Star Child

Today marks the release of Jessica Allyn's new album, Delusions of Grandeur featuring 11 songs that showcase different stories themed around the 7 deadly sins. There are '90s, cabaret, soul, folk, and rock influences in the music that give the album a nice vibe. Jessica Allyn's music is complemented by Rob Franceschini on guitar, bass, piano, synth and string arrangement and Jason Foulke on drums. Furthermore, the songwriting throughout the release is mature, thoughtful, and smart. 

"The album is about the 7 deadly sins, and Delusions of Grandeur, a running theme in my life as of the last year, or so," Allyn says. "I write what I see, and so it's my personal experience with those two themes."
