Search - Heidi Berry :: Miracle

A Disappointing Album, Lacking Focus and Depth

"On this album, Heidi Berry departs from the dark brooding beauty of her earlier works. She seems to be searching for a different sound, but isn't successful at it. On some songs she leans towards the Celtic and Medieval, while on others she sounds almost Country-Western, but the songs themselves meander without much focus, and the album as a whole seems to search for a theme without getting anywhere. It seems she released this collection of songs for the sole purpose of releasing another album, rather than making a piece of art.This is a bitter disappointment if you're a fan of her previous albums. Her voice really shines when placed against the right instruments and in the right songs, and unfortunately, this album doesn't do that. With a little more work, this album could have been much better."
