Album Description:
Thirteens, the fourth album from Leona Naess (first for Verve Forecast), is one of mixed emotions - a 'mixed tape' of sorts. The songs of mourning, realization, muted joy, and true giddiness were taken from more than 13 albums worth of songs Naess composed during a time after her father's unexpected death in 2004. The variety of moods and lo-fi production perfectly compliment Naess' soft, misty voice on tracks such as 'Leave Your Boyfriends Behind' and 'Learning As We Go.'
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - B&N has 2 bonus tracks
This is my favorite Leona Naess album, probably her best work so far. Very emotional and relaxing. While she isn't the most profound lyricist, her music is very enjoyable to listen to, and a relief from all the cookie cutter pop that has pervaded the music industry.
FYI, I bought the album at Barnes and Noble and their version has two bonus tracks: On My Toes and Hiccups. Nice songs, they fit very well with the theme of the album.
Rating:  - A Truly Gifted Singer-Songwriter
Five years to the day after her eponymous 2003 release, this English/American songwriter graced upon the world Thirteens, the culmination of the thirteen lo-fi albums she recorded since her last.

I was not disappointed: from the first track, I knew this girl was for real. I've been listening to a lot of female artists lately, and ... Read More
Rating: - Welcome back, Leona, we've missed ya
In 2000-2001, Leona Naess came out of nowhere with 2 terrific albums, her debut "Comatized", followed by an even better "I Tried To Rock You But You Only Roll", which could've and should've been a commercial breakthrough, but alas, it remained simply a critical success. The self-titled "Leona Naess" followed in 2003, which was a bit of a let-down for me. Then after that, nothing.... until now, 5 years later, Leona finally has reappeared.
"Thirteens" (11 tracks; 40 min.) is somewhat ... Read More
Rating: - Worth the wait
This album has been in limbo for years. So I was relieved upon listening to agree that it was worth the wait. Although, it seemed a bit short. Makes you wonder why record companies make it so hard for good artists to release what they want, how they want it.
Bits and pieces of themes, sounds, styles and lyrics from her previous albums are echoed throughout this album, which is a nice treat. Her new single "Heavy Like Sunday" is strong, as are quite a few others. Mainly "Ghosts in the ... Read More
