"Today Pop is a joke in the music world. Entertainers like Britney Spears and Jennifer Love Hewitt market their image with poorly done songs. Pop music is well known to have little talent and skill in musicanship and in lyrical writing. However, Sandra Phillips is a true artist that illuminates the skills that most pop artist lack. She bring forth elements of piano to create a unique style of music. The lyrics are very simple but powerful that defines the potential Sandra Phillips endures than most artist you hear today. You can compare her style to Jewel's early work in 1990's. So if you want to indulge yourself to how pop should really sound. Head over to Sandra Phillips site and check her other work. " -Evy, The Edge Underground - JANET BLACK, H.e.e.t Magazine • "Sandy's music is surprisingly mature. It goes from suave to upbeat to rebelious. Her piano playing is masterful, yet is feather light. I closed my eyes and could envision fingers waltzing across the keyboard. Sandy and her piano coordinate like horse and horseman. She will carry you from movie sound track to concert hall to piano bar and on this path she'll remind you of all your senses. The album "Emotions of Life" is a true testimony to her depth and substance. A wide variety of genre, a blend of modern jazz, r&b and new age interpreted with unlimited passion. Once you hear her music the album becomes a "must have". The artist will not only generate emotions but visions of emotional states. It's actually a unique narration of different emotional states. No one, I mean no one since Gershwin has painted such a beautiful picture for the eyes of my mind. The instrumental piece "Mysteries of Life" is a masterpiece of it's kind. When I first listened to her album I kept hitting the replay button. The band: Serena Avila, Eric Hunt, Joel Adler, Brent Harris and Todd Gentry is a very fine addition of modern sounds to this imaginative recital. -Bill Kostyan, TheNightGuide." "Sandy Phillips offers instrumental music with a theme in a style that remains known as "new age". The music here has a sense of foreboding with its pleasant semi-classical melodies and mid-tempo phrasing. Reminiscent of Andres Vollenweider, the multi-tracked keyboards build a flowing, haunting, and foreboding mood." -Round Sound "Sandy - Emotions of Life 48 minutes of instrumental cool down music. 'Siempre' begins it, a slightly soul, slightly Latin wordless piece that will make young lovers coo. Each tune has a life and direction of its own. 'Embrace the Moment' is a piano ballad with a soft clicking beat. Fine fireplace music. Sandy is one talented programmer and player. In a way this is inspirational music. And I admire the inside of her cd booklet. Three pages of praise for all the influences in her life - a book of thank yous from someone who knows it isn't pure talent that lets a person succeed. Beautiful music from a beautiful lady." - Ben ohmart, @nzone magazine Sandy's album is one of contemplative piano instrumentals with melodies that have an improvised wonder and exploration about them. This is the kind of CD that will wash over your early morning and leave you refreshed. - Bryan Baker, Gajoob "Sandy has produced a collection of newage/meditative songs - instead of hitting us over the head, she embraces and caresses the listener with gentle keyboard passages. The artist's style can be classified as relaxing and easy to listen to. 'Mood instrumental pieces for modern life and romance.'" - earBuzz |
