Spuren (Switzerland)
Victoria-Luise Square, park bench, evening sun, green lawns, comfy blanket, water fountains: the perfect film to the music that permeates my headphones. The young Berlin musician Jenny Weisgerber fell in love with the fervour of music making instead of the university lecture rooms and recorded last year her debut CD, on which her producer Colin Bass embedded her melancholy, expressive voice into a fine carpet of instruments. “When Worlds Collide” (SoulMaid) is a collection of ten original compositions that reflect in depth the “lightness” of being that waken in my mind memories of the young Joni Mitchell, and are perfectly suited to playfully round off a pleasantly solitary evening

Jenny Weisgerber is not a famous name in the prog-rock world but that’s not strange, because she doesnt make any prog-rock, not even rock!

Her relationship with symphonic-rock is of a different kind: she's the soulmate of Colin Bass (bass player of Camel) who, of course, is on this record as bass player and does the production as well. This alone makes the record interesting for real Camel-diehards but the music of this record is very nice too!.

The sweet voiced, guitar and piano dominated pop is maybe a bit easy listening, but then again it’s a very sparkling production with some very nice songs and melodies. Weisgerber's voice is high and airy and is an important part of the total sound of this (a bit too short) record.

Regarding styles, there are a few excursions to Jazz and even Classical Music in the arrangements and use of cello.

This makes for variety on this record. All in all a very pleasant album, maybe not as semi-erotic as Norah Jones, but certainly not less nice

Folker!
To let herself be photographed by Jim Rakete 30 years after Nina Hagen and to begin her debut album with a track called “Grains of Sand”, - through which an association with Bob Dylan and his “Every Grain of Sand” is unavoidable - could mean two things: totally crazy or a refined and clearly defined sense for quality. If not all that at once: Jenny Weigerber’s musical roots reach back at least to singer/songwriter icons like Carol King or Carly Simon. For stylistic approaches to contemporary Power Girl production standards of questionable taste she is obviously not available. And that is a good thing, for with her unusually high voice register and her gentle, slightly jazzy compositions, she seems to have a good chance to carve out her very own niche. Or rather, hers and that of her producer Colin Bass: with his, since Camel, well documented talent for tasteful tight-rope walking nearly up to the border of kitsch, he has tailored a featherlight musical canvas that oscillates in all shades between weary melancholy and cheerful enthusiasm. And if that’s not himself, who on “When I’m Loving You” and other pieces, revels in bittersweet harmony vocals, then at least it sounds like it – whatever that may mean...?

Berlin Tagesspiegel
Jenny Weisgerber speaks with a shy whisper but when she sings there is suddenly an immense strength and conviction in her wonderful songs. Joni Mitchell-like and open jazzy guitar chords. Impressive.

VISIONS
Pop songs in the neighbourhood of Heather Nova. Music like elegant furniture in which one feels comfortable.

Rolling Stone
When Worlds Collide moves tastefully in a jazzy folk style. Nora Jones-fans would certainly like the album.

Jenny Weisgerber has worked with Colin Bass to produce a top quality indie styled cd.
In his personal work, Colin has recently veered away from the highly produced sounds of Prog Rock to find the sincerity and genuine warmth which can linger in simple but clean production work.
This is most evident in the cd he produced with Jenny called When Worlds Collide.
Her beautiful voice needs little embellishment, but the instrumentation certainly enhances it.

STEREO Magazine
This melody blessed chamber music folk pop convinces undoubtedly of her talent. Jenny Weisgerber shows herself to be a romantic who knows about the ambivalence and the fragility of feelings.

Too Cool for the Conservatory
An acoustic guitar with open chords. Between Folk and Jazz. A bright beautiful voice with open expression. Between crystal clarity and breath steamed glass. An open face with clever eyes. Between blue melancholy and uninhibited happiness. Poetic lyrics with open ending. Between pain, sadness and defiance. Piano, restrained bass, occasionally a cello. Sometimes an electric guitar and drums. Then it rocks a little bit.
The young singer-songwriter Jenny Weisgerber says, she is sometimes told after concerts, that she sounds a little like Joni Mitchell. A role model? “No, I never really had any”. As a child Jenny heard her parents’ records: Bob Dylan, Van Morrison. “My mother liked Tracy Chapman.” The kindergarten teacher designated the 3 year-old Jenny as having above average musicality. She went early to music education. “That was fun. For hearing education we had to be able to recognise different types of coins by their sound with closed eyes.”
Jenny was able to go to the Bach music school and studied guitar and piano. Later she could have gone to the conservatory for a classic education up to concert level. But at 16 she threw it all away, the school, the music. She moved away from home. Perhaps this development was necessary to as a pause for orientation. And Jenny discovered the music anew. Rock, Punk, Singer-Songwriter. She started to play the piano again and suddenly the first songs appeared. Guitar and voice. With classic that was over. Now this was something else. Something of her own.
Jenny made her final exams. She developed her songwriting further, gave lots of concerts and won prizes. And fans in Spain and Poland. Now she presents with her complete band her first album “When Worlds Collide”.
