Album Description Not your typical pop record in any way, shape or form, WE ARE ONE has a much more ambitious sensibility than those being heard on Top 40 radio today. With songs sung in English, Italian, French, and Sanskrit, and melodies that partake of both jazz and classical influences, WE ARE ONE conveys a sense of depth, intimacy and sophistication not often heard in today's pop landscape. The magnificent "Giorno Dopo Giorno" couples Sweet's soaring vocals with a thrilling string arrangement, bringing listeners the kind of intense joy that can usually only be experienced in the world's finest opera houses. "The song originally had English lyrics," says Sweet, "and it was called `Who Can I Believe In?' We felt that the melody was too European and didn't work with the lyrics, so we asked Marco Marinangelli, who writes Italian lyrics for Josh Groban, to translate the words into Italian. It came out beautifully." Sweet says she has always gravitated to the beautiful sounds of languages other than English. "I was classically trained beginning at the age of 11," she says, "and that's when I began to sing in other languages. It always came very easily to me." WE ARE ONE, then, is that rarest of musical experiences--a seamless emotional journey that deeply touches listeners of all ages with its beauty, grace, individuality, and courage. But perhaps to call Sweet courageous is overstating something that is really much simpler. "This music is not about me," she says. "It's about the soul in all of us. I am just happy to have a voice to convey these things to the world." And the world is certainly a better place because of it. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSweet But Not Sappy. Julia Masi | 03/11/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Kelly Sweet's voice is like lemon merange pie light as air on top, with a strong satisfying center. Her haunting version of "Dream On" proves that she can hit the high notes and pull on the heart strings. Her linguistic abilites is quite impressive. But if you don't understand the lyrics on the Italian or French songs, don't despair, her talent isn't lost in translation. This very relazing collection of songs is a wonderful background for an intimate dinner." A bit of grace Martine H. Otto | Center Valley, PA | 03/28/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Kelly Sweet came to me as a totally unexpected promo gift a while back from an Amazon supplier I had ordered another CD from. I was and am deeply touched by this fresh and unadulterated voice. New songs!!! Yea!! And other songs newly sung. I treasure this CD. This is so NOT pop music. I hope she will climb and soar and touch many lives who seek something more than sticky sweet. Share this CD with friends, She is well worth it."
