 Lea deserves a better music producer!!!! December 12, 2007
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Lea Salonga no doubt has a very captivating singing voice, always perfectly pitched and spell binding in her songs . When I learned about this album, I was very excited to get my own copy especially because it has the song that she sang for her husband in their wedding.
This album is supposedly a compilation of songs that inspired her over the years. Sad to say, Lea's voice was not given justice. The album does not deliver. The music and tone quality of the album seemed to be half-baked and oftentimes unbearable to the ears. For me, only two songs were worth listening to over and over: Two Words & Promise Me. The other songs were either uninspiring or were deliberately compromised by the poor quality of the drums and the wind section.
"Sing" had a slow boss nova touch but it came out very dragging. I dont get the artistical creativity of this arrangement. "Waiting For Love" is a nice tune - but listen closely to the bass - it went out of tune more than once. "Brian's Song" -I love the song, the movie - The strings section was angelic but the trumpets and the drums were awful. The beat of the drums sounded like it came from the garage and the trumpets in the interlude sounded from a marching band. "When Winters Gone" & "When October Goes" - everything started great until you hear the wind section play their parts. To top it all, Lea's voice was overpowered by the instruments.
Im a fan of Lea and Ive always been proud of her success. This was a great project that was badly produced. I agree with misterw"Steve" (Redlands, CA). She needs to get a better music producer, and music arranger. Her voice deserves better music quality.
Lea is AMAZING yet again..!! December 2, 2007
I'm a Lea fan, since she was 14 and have listened to every CD she has ever made. Amazingly, she keeps getting BETTER with age - even after having baby Nicole. The quality of her voice keeps getting more pure and mellow simply AMAZING..!!
I only liked about 8 of the 12 tracks - the rest are just "ok". But the ones I liked are stunning/
This the first CD that she has recorded at Carmel House - a studio near her home that has her brother (and musical director) Gerard as a major partner. Quality of recording is very high and her brother is a true master at making her the best musical scores and working with the orchestra to bring out the very best in Lea's performances.
Lea fans will love this CD - non-Lea fans will quickly become Lea fans.
 Only Half Inspired November 16, 2007

Lea still has an amazing voice but this CD does not deliver. Only half the songs are good; well actually very good. The other half are terrible. It sounds like she's singing in a bar with a little 3 piece band. The production is terrible, many times the instruments are overpowering her voice, which is pretty difficult to do. The drums on these songs are heavy and just awful. The backing orchestra is of a lower quality than she deserves. I really think Lea needs to part with her brother and find a composser and producer that can really put her talent and voice where it belongs. Lea is one of my 3 favorite singers in the world along with Sarah Brightman and Hayley Westenra. I hope her next CD delivers because this one for the most part does not.
Excellent crossover artist! August 19, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Lea Salonga is a captivating Broadway singer-actress with a wonderful vocal gift for ballads. It's however nice to hear her perform covers of pop songs well beyond her usual theater genre. Few crossover artists have such an ease of transition, of which only a few notable come to mind including Anthony Warlow, Patti Lupone and Sarah Brightman. This album features lush melodies, beautiful score and topnotch arrangement. Salonga may not be as prolific as other artists, but every album that she records is a vocal masterpiece worth keeping and listening to for ages.
