In my continuous search for new and interesting music, I'm often reaching into strange and wonderful places to find something that will ignite inspiration inside my soul. Today I came across something both beautiful and genuinely refreshing. It was almost a moment that you might think of as a memory worth archiving. The day I was introduced to Gemma Hayes is a day worth saving. Her voice is sincere, and clearly seasoned with wisdom acquired from the best and worst of life's great experiences. Not to mention that she's a talented guitarist fusing unique melodies together in a sometimes dark and ominous way. I'm an instant fan of Gemma's. I'm looking forward to hearing her next work already and have begun to venture into her past works as well. She's been publishing in the music circuit since the early 90s. She has somehow avoided the mainstream, but I believe in time she's going to hit with a bang.
One of my favorite songs thus far is a song titled "This Is What You Do". This song starts out with a mellow guitar melody and some interesting rhythmic counterparts that transport you into the peaceful thoughts that she provokes when she sings "this is what you do... to me". With a gentle whispering voice she carries over the melodies in a unique and original way evoking emotions that allow you to feel what she's conveying. These waves transform your thoughts as the musician intends. It leaves me feeling peaceful and relative. This album is definitely a must for every collection.
