When the Amsterdam singer-songwriter Jana Mila (pronounced Yah-nuh
MEE-lah) began writing a song called "Chameleon," she thought she was
writing about someone else--a friend who seemed to be changing her
colors to please other people "But the more I lived with the song, the
more I felt like I was writing about myself," she admits
"Doesn't everybody try to refect other people? Don't I change my own colors in
order to be accepted? Especially when you're young, you can lose yourself in
other people if you don't know who you are." - That is the central idea behind her
debut album, also titled Chameleon, which introduces Mila as an artist deeply
committed to self-reckoning and self-possession. Our innate desire to belong and
to be loved can lead to a kind of self- annihilation, making us strangers to
ourselves. Writing songs is her means of fnding and sustaining her identity."The
album is a conversation with myself, a way of getting to know myself better.
There are little fears woven into every lyric, but there's also advice to myself. I'm
writing to fnd a part of myself that has some wisdom."
Musically, Mila is the best kind of chameleon. The album draws from a wild array
of sources, entertaining new ideas on every song: dusty Laurel Canyon folk on
"It's True," catchy Nashville country on "Let Me In," driving '70s rock on "I Wasn't
Gonna." She puts her stamp on every note, turning those fears into an album of
remarkable confdence, eloquence, and power. Chameleon is a self- portrait
rendered in vibrant detail.
