Robin Monterosso This song takes me to a good place. Every time! Favorite track: Circlet of Pisces.

Jeudi Take a gentle journey through your day with this brilliantly crafted concept album. Used as part of your daily grounding rituals or meditation practice, it will help you establish a positive mindset to start your day. Or if needed, play it at bedtime to mentally unwind, de-stress and drift off to sleep. I love this music so much! By turns this album is at once affirming, relaxing, encouraging and full of powerful wisdom and enchanting images. Favorite track: Unwind.

Sharman Nittoli Ethereal layers of sounds, voices and harmonies in multiple octaves produce a haunting, moving experience when listening to this extraordinary, innovative new-age creation.

erniemuse First of all, I just love the vocals and piano on this album! The voices are so high and sweet, but always beautiful (never harsh). They remind me of my own instrument (the flute). The first time I listened to the entire album, I was in my car, in the middle of a huge traffic jam. The music put me at peace! ~ Ernie Mansfield erniemansfield.bandcamp.com/album/french-impressions-latin-themes Favorite track: Awæcnian.

Twist or turn… Blame, unlearn. This knot you despise . . . (Fight or yearn Rise or burn) … is the knot you tied. You cannot unwind me. I am not lost just because you can’t find me. There’s no room under my skin for you. My heart will always bind me so you cannot unwind me. Tangled, broken, lost all your hope in mankind . . . (Words unspoken, put all your hope in…) …the man inside. You cannot unwind me I am not lost just because you can’t find me. There’s no room under my skin for you. My heart will always bind me so you can’t unwind me. What if I said you could love instead? What if I said you could be loved? What if I said you could love instead? What if I said . . . The shadows don’t let the light through. Blood won’t blend with bone. Just one change there could be room for the maiden, the mother, and crone. You cannot unwind me. I am not lost just because you can’t find me. There’s no room under my skin for you. My heart will always bind me so you can’t unwind me. You cannot unwind me I am not lost just because you can’t find me. There’s no room under my skin for you. My heart will always bind me. so you cannot unwind me.

"Triple Triple Triple moons Hidden truths inside the runes Written by the maiden, the mother, and crone Moon and sun and stars atone. Ripple Ripple does her love stir. She whispers to the silencer. Hidden truths inside her soul Mother Gaia, never not whole. Triple Triple Triple gift Thrice as much as one could wish. Worry of the world upon her breast, She revels in the path of our quest. Ripple Ripple through her blood Breath behind the desert flood. Rage of lightening, delicate nest, In her shadows, we are blessed."

"Stuck in the mud of my own making, seeking a path unescaping. / Drowning in doubt yet soaking in hope, You say to me gently on the grass slope, /“Anyway you choose is moving on.” /We sit by the water with the breeze and the birds. I ache to know if I’m being heard. /Drowning in doubt yet soaking in hope, You say to me gently on the grass slope, /“Anyway you choose is moving on.”"

about

Cheryl B. Engelhardt’s sophomore New Age release, a followup to her chart-topping 2020 album LUMINARY, gifts the listener with an etherial journey through a day of awakening, conflict, resolution, release rest, reflection, remembrance, and finally, relaxation. Bringing the science of the heart rate into her music, Engelhardt carefully chose tempos that would assist the listener in slowing down, quite literally, into a state of rest. Additionally, she chose to bring in lyrics reminiscent of her early pop records to assist the processing of emotions, a much-needed practice prior to falling asleep.

Half of the tracks are lyrical expressions, while half of the album highlights the voice as an instrument alongside intricate piano performances and even a live kalimba, all performed, engineered and arranged by Engelhardt. With special features by GRAMMY winners Joanie Leeds and Chava Mirel, 37 members of Cheryl’s independent musician mastermind AMPLIFY plus an appearance by SNL drummer Shawn Pelton, and even Cheryl’s own deceased father’s voice, the collaborations speak to the breadth of the emotions found on A Seeker’s Slumber. Listeners will experience what has been called “a goddess’s song” in “Unwind”, and “a sense of grounding” in “Ithaca” and the other instrumental pieces. The magic that is unleashed in “Awæcnian”, “Mother Gaia”, and “Anyway You Choose…” is unprecedented in Cheryl’s prolific body of work. Enjoy!
