Search - Virginia Evans :: Waiting for the Angel

Waiting For The Angel is an international collaboration featuring an American lead vocalist, Canadians on harmony, and composers and instrumentalists from Scotland, Germany, the U.S. and Canada. Distance and time zones made Waiting For The Angel an interesting, daunting and sometimes challenging experience for all. But the end result was beyond what any one of these artists could have achieved alone. When music conceived by one songwriter arrived with a new treatment from a fellow musician, there were beautiful surprises. Melodies, rhythms, phrasing, instrumentals, harmonies- everything gained dimension. As these developments multiplied, Virginia decided that Waiting For The Angel had to be the album's title track because it expressed the deep longing to become something more through conduits greater than ourselves.

"When you are making music," Virginia comments, "you're flying blind, even with trusted collaborators." She continues, "Everyone is providing pieces of the puzzle, a brief glimpse of the final picture. And no one is sure what the final work will be like. But in this story, there came moments when I received a completed track and, unlike the blind men in the old proverb who only knew the closest part of the elephant, I could finally run my hands over the entire beast!"

Virginia Evans makes accessible, song-based, lyric-driven music sung in a clean, strong, knowing voice. Like the elephant in the proverb, we think you'll find her album, Waiting For The Angel, to be a varied and magnificent animal.
