In the world of crystaline, ethereal, female vocals there is a new emerging Princess - French Canadian vocal artist Anael.
How does one begin to describe the beauty of this thought-provoking musical priestesses second album, the truth is, that it is almost impossible. I can attempt to sum up my reactions to it quite simply. Listen to "Don’t Trade In Your Dreams" If the beauty of the melody and it’s spiritual content does not make you weep or send chills up and down your spine , then perhaps this kind of elevating, enveloping, music experience is not for you. Anael’s voice is an instrument; which she uses to capture and uplift people’s souls.
From the opening track Sanctus, adapted from the Roman catholic liturgy, you are invited to personally audition Anael’s world of beauty, peace, transformation and redemption. It feels very direct and very intimate almost as if she is singng for you and you alone, inviting you to join her for an hour in sharing her wisdom and tranquility. When that hour is over, your heart will continue to take with it Anael’s message and vision.
The compositions of Bradfield manage to provide a medium in which the vocals of Anael can work their magic; growing, teaching, and transcending musical plains. Although this cd will sit well in the collections of lovers of Marcomme and perhaps Enya it is a singularly beautiful and mesmerizing album that occupies a genre all of its own.
