Zagg (CD)
Jackie Cohen
Amoeba Review
08/28/2020
Jackie Cohen is a breath of fresh air on Zagg. Named after her high school Kerouac-inspired nickname and featuring album art by fellow traveler Adam Green, Zagg is a bright, intensely personal, new vision of the world. Nobody brings joie de vivre and canny humor to sunny, off-beat songwriting quite like Cohen, whether she’s singing about the classic bored teenager game on “FMK” or summers in Chico on (yes) “Chico Chico.” The future’s bright for Jackie Cohen — and for anyone who takes the time to discover this eclectic, lush, life-affirming new album.
