2/06/08 - THE ALBUM "RIGHT ON TIME" .” Paola Jean crafts authentic music. With each song on Right On Time, the multi-national songstress weaves a compelling full-length album textured with haunting organic and electric instrumentation, soul-stirring guitar melodies and riveting funk, which to the virgin listener, sounds influenced by the likes of Jill Scott, India.Aire, Alicia Keys and Adriana Evans.
“I live to feel, breathe and be music,” Paola says about making her album over the course of 2 years (6 years in concept). “Music touches without judging and changes people in the best way. I write songs about life, society, nature and everything that surrounds you and me. I try to keep my mind open and be inspired, and in return inspire my audience with my music, straight from an honest soul.”
With Right On Time, Paola reveals a deeper, more vulnerable part of her spirit – it’s from this insight the listener feels connected, not just to the music, but to her. It’s all here on Right On Time, whether it’s the feel-good, positive and uplifting yet reflective title track, or the empowering, driven tracks like “What’s Going On” which add irrefutable funk whereas the mesmerizing “Six Thousand Miles” is a journey, which she describes as a thanks to life.
Speaking with subtle conviction, she says “The overall message of this record is for people to first obviously enjoy, but to learn about responsibility on all fronts, especially when it comes to the future – not just for our future – but what we’re leaving for our children.”
Paola is the ultimate singer, who lets that message, emotion and honesty come most loudly through her music. Right On Time is an original mix of soulful material and sounds bringing this message through her funk. It’s where Switzerland meets New York and Los Angeles, an experience in soul you’re yet to experience. It’s CLASS, it’s STYLE, it’s PAOLA JEAN.

I am so happy to share my Debut album, Right on Time with you.
It’s been a long road, 6 years in the making since the idea of this album came about.
I’m excited to have had, the opportunity to work with great artist/musicians and producers, who helped making my dream come true.
The album reflects the journey I took from the day I moved to the America. From Bern (Switzerland) to New York and Los Angeles.
Thank you for your continuing support,
Paola Jean
