Editorial Reviews

Once in a while, a voice of such quality and beauty rises up that it transcends all musical styles and cultures. Pia has such a voice. Her gentle, echoing vocals create irresistible warmth that caresses the listener with heavenly sound. If you like Enya and Clannad, you will adore Benediction Moon!

The spiritual aspect of Pia’s music is very important to her. Following a period performing the rock opera Bhagavad-Gita, she studied with the renowned Bengali musician and vocalist Haridas Ganguli and has toured extensively performing bhajans (traditional Indian spiritual songs).

5.0 out of 5 stars Open your heart...Feel Free, July 17, 2003

This review is from: Benediction Moon (Audio CD)

After falling in love with the gorgeous cover art, which is key to alluring a potential buyer like myself (I'm drawn to all things pretty), I found 'Benediction Moon' used. At the time I was ecstatic because it was originally out of stock and while I initially had a good feeling about it, I had no idea the impact it would have on me. The album opens up with the emotion filled "Radhe" which literally sent me in tears. Few songs have the power to do that and because someone precious to me passed away the night I first got this in the mail, I feel like this song is a message from the one I lost, letting me know they're okay and that they're at peace now. As a whole this record is rather somber but never have I heard a voice sing with such intense passion before. I feel the pain and joy in her words so strongly that the listener ends up experiencing them with her, and it won't come and go. It will run deep and stay with you long after the last note plays out.

Pia may not have a huge range and she may never become a well-known new age artist like Enya is but her angelic, crystal clear voice and the beautiful, serene soundscapes of calm yet uplifting relaxation will engulf and reach far into your soul, making you feel things you've never felt before by letting a simple piece of music wash over you. As it says in the CD booklet, 'Pia sings to express her feelings, to even release negative emotions in a positive way through singing', which is sometimes needed when your badly wounded, so 'free your mind and heart and be happy'.

I heard this CD (Benediction Moon by Pia) for the first time several years ago during a meditation-session.
Her angel-like voice is beautiful.

Prayer is absolutely beautiful. I seek lyrics for it everywhere, only to come up with nothing. I adore the song, its haunting yet melodic piece is breathtaking. Everything is just so harmonious.
