OUT OF THE BOX (KOREAN VERSION) (2008.04.24)
Jade's first solo album will be released by her longterm record label partner Sony BMG in Korea on April 24th.

"Out of the Box" re-introduced us to Jade Valerie, but the new album "Bittersweet Symphony" will really tell us who the former singer of Sweetbox really is.
The new album is finally a culmination of the the music that fans know and love from Jade, and the sound of who she is today. It is full of rich ballads, perspective altering mid tempos, and a few dance tunes just to spice things up.
“Writing the last album was really therapeutic for me. When I listen to “Bittersweet Symphony" it feels like a musical documentary of my life while creating it. Every song is a story about some emotional milestone that I experienced at that time. I was living with my best friend while recording this album, and so the album has been deemed the sound track of our lives for those months. Heartbreak and starting over are major themes on the album, and some songs are simply about wild weekends we had. The album arrived at its name because it is the music of a bittersweet and revolutionary time of my life."
Musically the album shows the creative roots of Jade and Geo, and has shades of the old classic/pop combo that the creative team is known for. The track Unbreakable features Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, and another track Out in the Sea features "The Flower Duet", from the opera 'Lakme' by Delibes. Jades favorite tracks Like a Bird, Razorman, and Empty Pages exemplify the song writing teams maturity, and remind you that when it comes to sentimental pop not many do it with as much heart honesty as Jade Valerie does.
After nearly eight years and numerous gold and platinum albums as Sweetbox, Jade Valerie put a new spin on her career when last fall she left her stage name behind, and debuted her album " Out of the Box" under her own name.
While still very young, Jade Valerie is hardly new to the entertainment industry - aside from her mega successful career as the face and voice of Sweetbox, Jade filmed her first TV commercial at 5, she then ventured onto Broadway and then onto Hollywood. She has a meaty resume in TV, including top shows Recue 911, Touched by an Angel, Several movies of the week and a guest star spots on several music videos including TLC's "Unpretty." While acting and theatre were a great introduction to the industry, Jade wanted more, she wanted to write and sing.
Jade's roots as an artist sprung form her passion for musical composition. Jade remembers, "I always love country music and rock and blues. Growing up listening to songs written by Stevie Nicks, James Taylor and Gary Burr is what first inspired me to want to be a songwriter and express myself in this that way. They were so emotional and said things so simply, yet so beautifully. I was moved by great songs and emotional voices from an early age." Pop music is where Jade eventually found her home. While her sound is different from her early idols, it is still about great songs that inspire people with thoughtful lyrics, sentiment and emotional performances.
After a few years of struggling in Los Angeles scene, Jade's voice and songwriting talent was discovered by Alan Rich. Alan introduced Jade to Geo, and the rest is history and the future. As the face and voice of sweetbox, Jade not only earned international success as an artist, she was also the voice of a popular final fantasy character, featured in campaigns by Subaru and achieved many other accolades the list too long to list individually. She has become of the best selling international artists in Asia and earned her place in the history of the Japanese music market.
At the moment Jade is looking forward to touring with the new albums, and finding new inspiration for songs.
ジェイド - 『ビタースウィート シンフォニー』
『Out of the Box』はJade Valerieと言う人物を改めて紹介してくれたが、ニューアルバム『ビタースウィート シンフォニー』は、sweetboxの元シンガーが一体どういうアーティストなのかを教えてくれる作品になるだろう。
このアルバムはJadeとGeoのクリエイティヴなルーツを示すと共に、2人がその名を馳せているクラシックとポップのコンビネーションも持ちあわせている。「Unbreakable」はベートーヴェンの「月光」をフィーチャー。そして、「Out In The Sea」ではドリーブによる歌劇『ラクメ』から「花のデュエット」を引用している。Jadeがお気に入りの「Like A Bird」「Razorman」「Empty Pages」は、JadeとGeoのソングライティング力の高さを証明している。そして、このセンチメンタルなポップを聴くと、Jade Valerieが常に自分の気持ちを素直に表現しようとする、数少ないアーティストであることに気づくだろう。
約8年間に渡りsweetboxとして数々のゴールド・ディスクやプラチナ・ディスクを獲得してきたJade Valerieは、昨年の秋にステージ・ネームを捨て、Jade名義のアルバム『Out of the Box』でデビュー、自身のキャリアに新たな彩を添えた。
Jade Valerieはまだ実に若いが、エンターテインメント業界において、新人と言うわけではない。Sweetboxの顔、ヴォーカルとして驚異的な成功を収めたキャリアの他にも、5歳で初めてTVCMに出演、その後、ヴロードウェイやハリウッドの舞台へ果敢に挑んだ。彼女はアメリカのトップ番組『Rescue 911』、『Touched by an Angel』などのTV出演、様々な映画、TLCの『Unpretty』を含むミュージック・ビデオへのゲスト出演など、充実した内容の経歴の持ち主だ。演技や舞台はショウビジネスへの素晴らしい序章だったが、Jadeはさらなるものを求めた。彼女はシンガー・ソングライターになりたかったのだ。

Hey sweet Jade! These days I've been completely addictive to your music. I can't stop listening to your songs! Hearing of the release of your new album with the project ETERNITY made me really eager to hear new songs from you. For now I don't have this new album yet so I'm listening to your previous ones again. I realized that I hadn't really given a chance to OUT OF THE BOX cause I had gotten it at the same time as BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY and I had loved BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY so much that I had left OUT OF THE BOX aside. But now I fixed this mistake and even if I don't like this album as much as the others, I'm really loving the songs "Tuned Up", "Uh La La" and "Goodbye". I already knew "Just Another Day", "You Don't Know Me" and "Crush" that I love too. I've been also listening to old SWEETBOX album ADDICTED. All these songs never grow old! I can't get tired of them.
I really love your music and I can't wait to get ETERNITY! I wish you all the best, Jonathan.
