Search - Antoniette Costa :: Breakthru

Refreshing and New

"Antoniette is an extremely talented artist and star on the rise with something fresh to offer the music industry. She is an extraordinarily talented singer/songwriter for such a young age. Her deep, resonant voice swoops and soars through every superbly written and composed track. She delivers some tracks with a soulful, passion reminiscent of an R-n-B diva. Yet on other tracks her voice has sultry rock edge reminiscent of Tori Amos or Alanis Morrisette. Among some of my favorite songs on this album include "Said Who" a Funk/Soft Rock track. "Murphy" is a hard edged track with amazing rock guitar riffs and piano perfectly complementing her enchanting three part harmonies. "Never Should Have", an upbeat track with a very catch chorus. "Dream" an amazing beautifully but melancholy piano ballad. "Caroline's Camelot" is yet another really amazing track with lovely piano accompaniment and wonderful harmonies. I strongly recommend this album to anyone who wants to hear music that is unique, new, and refreshing. Antoniette Costa is definitely what the popular music industry needs right now."

A young singer with serious chops

"There's no denying it. Antoniette has a strangely rich and magnificent voice which can perform the kinds of tricks most singers her age are neither practised at nor talented enough to pull off. (She's 20!) But why put a number on it? - Antoniette has a voice that can rival powerhouses of any age group.



In today's musical landscape, that alone should be enough reason to pick up this CD. And if you want more justification - try the fact that the music is good. The songs are lyrically and musically inventive, drawing listeners into their mystique and there's a modern romantic tone that runs throughout the album, tying it together and making it memorable.



Think Norah Jones, Alanis Morissette and Toni Braxton fused - and you'll have a good sense of Antoniette's vocal quality. The next logical step: get your own copy of "Breakthru" and play it on repeat. You'll feel privileged to have it as part of your music collection."
