I found this pianist on YouTube through a wonderfully arranged cover of Sweet Child 'O Mine, which is one of my favourite rock songs of all time. On her YouTube page I found she had an album so straight to iTunes it was; it is nice to get away from heavy distorted guitars and big louds beats once in a while to listen to something a bit more relaxing. Solid acoustic magic. I am saying this as a student, it is better to revise with more relaxing music in the background. Anyways opening track Toxicity was the perfect choice to open the album so dramactically, Lonely Day has to be my favourite track on the album as it relaxed me when I was panicking about whether I had put that vital thing on my USB key as part of my assignment. It also reminds me of a film, which one I'm not quite sure. I love to make films so when I hear music good enough for a film I'll note it down right away. Covers November Rain - Guns 'N Roses, Snuff - Slipknot and Nothing Else Matter - Metallica were all beautifully arranged, sounding almost like the acutal songs. The more calming tracks will be Something I Can Never Have and Black Gives Way To Blue also stood out on the CD.
Overall, this album has beautifully arranged pieces and wonderful compositions that would make Tuomas Holopainen proud. Being a pianist/keyboardist myself I can definately say this album is also very inspiring. I leave you with her amazing cover of Sweet Child 'O Mine.
Stand out tracks: Lonely Day, November Rain and Nutshell
