Teenager is a 1996 album by Jane Siberry.[5][6]

It was her first release for Sheeba Records, the independent label she established for herself after the end of her contract with Reprise Records.[7][8] The album is composed of songs that Siberry had written as a teenager, but had never subsequently released on record.[9]

Critical reception[]

The Dallas Observer called the album "13 supple, unadorned songs," writing that "lovely, reflective tunes like 'Puppet City' and 'Viking Heart' offer thrillingly adult looks at, respectively, emotional paralysis and the enticements of a handsome, attentive stranger."[10]
