Free Music Review: Sissel's best international album so far...
Hit: 5 Stars

This was Sissel's second US release and by far her best English language album. It works as a showcase for her lovely voice. It spans classical, jazz and pop. The producers have charted a very safe course. There's something here to please everyone. Some lovely rarities include "Angel Rays" from the film "Evelyn," the soaring hymn "You Raise Me Up," Argentinian composer Astor Piazolla's "Oblivion" and my favorite here, the all too little heard "Deborah's Theme" from Sergio Leone's epic film "Once Upon A Time In America". This haunting, wordless hymn, will forever conjure up in my mind the image of a young Jennifer Connelly (Deborah) walking down the street, haloed in rising mist turned gold by the setting sun, as the little boy who loves her looks on longingly from afar, followed by the final scenes in the film, when as an old man, he realises what he lost when he turned her away.

Sissel's voice has changed noticeably over the past 20 years. It is now richer, with a darker timbre, much more full-bodied and with an immense power when needed. If you can, it is fascinating to compare what she sounded like on her first album with what she sounds like now. In her 1986 debut album, the voice is obviously young, with a crystalline purity and trememdous raw power. Twenty years on, the voice has matured beautifully with the power still evident but tamed by an exquisite refinement.

I do wish Amazon would bring in her earlier Norwegian/Danish albums. She has been issuing recordings since 1986. So far only her eponymous 1986 debut album, the showtune-influenced "Soria Moria" and the Christmas CD "Stilla Natt" are available. Personally I prefer listening to her in Scandinavian (She sings in Norwegian, Danish and Swedish). I think record companies are too cautious and very narrow minded when introducing audiences to new singers. We already have a surfeit of singers in English. It's wonderful to be able to hear singers in other languages. One of the advantages of P2P transfers on the internet, irrespective of their legality is the ability to access music you have never, and in another age, would have never had a chance to sample. I stumbled upon Sissel's music in much this way. It's sad that having sampled most of her lovely recordings as iffy-sounding MP3s, one is unable to purchase the original CDs because the music distributors see no market for them. For those who like her English album, you could try her latest international release, "Into Paradise" or better still, her latest Nordic album, "Nordisk Vinternatt" just released throughout Scandinavia this winter. It's a collection of traditional Scandinavian folk songs from Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. And yes, she sings in all those languages.

My Heart Poster

My Heart, the luminous new album from the Norwegian-born singing sensation Sissel, has an inspiration that is pure and simple. My Heart deftly mingles fresh new pop songs with sacred and classical hymns and operatic arias, all transformed by Sissels limpid, sparkling vocals. Her voice has the smooth, soaring grace of a classical diva, but her singing adds a direct, crystal-clear yet haunting expressiveness that is uniquely hers. Tracks include Pie Jesu, You Raise Me up, O Mio Babbino Caro, Ave Maria, Someone Like You, Wait a While, and Angel Rays. Track list: 1. Wait A While 2. Lascia Che 3. Someone Like You 4. Tristezza 5. Angel Rays 6. Mon Ceur 7. Pie Jesu 8. Oblivion 9. You Raise Me Up 10. O Mio Babbino Caro 11. Ave Maria 12. Deborah s Theme (From Once Upon A Time In America)
