Laura Turner
Soul Deep
Record Review by Becca Holland
| While Soul Deep is indeed a showcase for an amazing
voice, it’s also great pop. A perfect balance of opera and smoldering
sensuality creates one of the most interesting debuts I’ve listened
to in quite awhile. First listen evokes comparisons to well known voices
such as Sarah Brightman and power balladeer Celine Dion, but further review
reveals a completely independent sound. Turner’s voice is a powerful
instrument, but one that is capable or translating emotion in it’s
flawless timbre. While most songs create a sensually rhythmic mood, several
tracks simply highlight Turner’s power as a singer. “Angel
De Madrugada” is a Spanish track that puts her soprano on full display.
So light the candles and open the wine because this debut creates ample atmosphere while providing enough substance to make the listener pay attention even when the lights are on. For more information, check out |
