Song: Honeysuckle

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Killer recorded sound here. The fiddle and guitar sound great, and vocals too. I really like the way the chorus comes in so strong with the harmony voices. This is an outstanding feel good work!! I’m betting this is Kate.

Constructive Comments: There’s a bit of clipping/overloading going on in some of the vocal tracks I think.

Song: Reflections of the mind

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: I don’t listen to New Age except when getting a massage or doing yoga, so it has good associations. But this is better than New Age music. The level of composition is much higher–melodically it has a real architecture, and the staggering rhythmic chords are instistent and cool. The piano and engineering sound great, and the technique level is very high–the execution is very clean. I think this is 100% success.

Constructive Comments: *maybe* some ambient stuff in the background, but it’s really solid as is!!

Song: Waterfalls

Reviewer: B&S

Positive Comments: Nice track, I like the sound of the guitar played very well. Theme is a little bit “exotic” and that is good! Maybe this song could be good also for advertising.

Constructive Comments: I like the electric piano at the beginning, but in my opinion, the sounds of the keyboards are not very clear and and they do not well combine with the rest.

Song: Lord reside with me

Reviewer: Dana and Brad

Positive Comments: The vocals and instrumentals of this song are incredibly moving. Throughout my 20 year of experience as a choir member and cantor at my church in Malibu, if I have learned one thing it is that the level of emotional impact, vocal quality and overall presentation in this lovely piece is a rare and beautiful talent.

Constructive Comments: I truly enjoyed this piece….3 times over to be exact. Not only was the production and vocal quality on par, but I truly believed the lyrics behind the vocalist’s beautiful singing ability. I look forward to hearing more. Please don’t stop sharing that beautiful voice and that one of an kind talent of yours!

Song: All My Dreams

Reviewer: Dana and Brad

Positive Comments: This song had me hooked and wanting to hear more right from the onset. The lyrics are very believable and the melody is catchy and versatile while still hitting home with a strong message. This songs ability to instill an emotional reaction while simultaneously not going over the top or losing it’s “easy listening” feel is excellent.

Constructive Comments: I love the upbeat feel to this song. It has a very lovely mix of happiness while still incorporating touching, heartfelt, and bitter sweet lyrics. This song is has a wonderful commercial appeal while also maintaining a nice feel of dynamic growth and emotional appeal. The intention behind the artist of creating a current yet moving musical arrangement is readily apparent.

Reviewer: B&S

Positive Comments: This track has a good theme very catchy, I think it could have a good chance to be placed on a animation movie or teenager’s movie.

Constructive Comments: In my opinion arrangement and sounds are a little bit “aged”… maybe a restyling with some current sounds and a light arrangement would make it better, increasing sales opportunities.
