5.0 out of 5 stars The fruit of a spirit, April 4, 2001

This review is from: "Apples for Eve" (Audio CD)

In the original garden, the forbidden fruit was the knowledge of good and evil. In Katrina Carlson's version, however, it seems the perfect fruit is the ripening of a lifetime struggle for emancipation, and it is all good.

Apples for Eve is a lyrical journey celebrating the arrival of liberation and freedom. Katrina Carlson's self-produced CD examines many of the big questions; life, death, pain, joy, suffering, delight, perseverance and personal integrity. Somehow she has woven together utter vulnerability with unwavering strength. Her premiere CD defies the notion that non-signed artists lack the sophistication and elegance afforded established performers. On the contrary, Apples for Eve has a production value that rivals and often exceeds top 10 pop productions released by major labels. Along with her producer Rob Cohen, Katrina offers a musical gift that enhances the taut lyric, driving home her sincere heartfelt expression.

The music itself is in the pop tradition yet resonates with the deep echoes of a trained voice singing with controlled precision and absolute conviction. I could not help to compare her sound to Sarah Brightman, minus the fanfare.

The more I listen to Apples for Eve, the more I love it. Check it out for yourself at the appropriately tasteful (web site). It is so refreshing to listen to music that is not prepackaged by consultant shaped marketing managers. This CD is truly a gift to us from the heart of Katrina Carlson's truth.

I love Carlson's music, especially the songs where her wonderfully lyrical voice shines through. After ordering one for myself I ordered another for a friend.
