Editor's note

Jann Arden's plainspoken Canadian balladry

A Calgary songwriter whose emotional directness found a home in songs like 'Insensitive' and 'You Don't Know Me.'

If you're new to her work, start with 'Insensitive' or 'Will You Remember Me.' They frame what she does best.

Arden's songs work because they don't hide. 'You Don't Know Me' became widely known for its emotional directness, and that quality runs through her catalog. She's maintained an outspoken public presence too, whether speaking about her breast cancer diagnosis or other matters.

Her self-titled debut album in 1993 included the single 'Could I Be Your Girl.' The follow-up 'Time for Mercy' featured 'You Don't Know Me,' and she's worked with Canadian artists like Sarah McLachlan and Jim Cuddy along the way.
