Editorial Reviews
On her debut album, The Inner Revolution, songstress Kira Fontana triumphs in embracing an emotional rawness without fear, while also exploring a soul-searching mysticism that's undaunted in recognizing life s ever-changing moves. Like Sinéad O Connor and Tori Amos before her, the San Francisco Bay Area-born artist approaches such a task with unshakable power.
Fontana, who composed, arranged and produced The Inner Revolution, concisely molds an emotional catharsis with a natural blend of classical tinges and alt-rock leanings. From the haunting guitar riffs and layered strings of Bloom and the acoustic soundscapes of Spark the Fire to the slow-burning cadence of the near-nine minute epic Always, Fontana brings both creative and spiritual forces together. It's with an easy spirit that The Inner Revolution defines an authentically expressive, minimalist pop-rock sound thats been simmering beneath mainstream rock s genre-blending stratum; the seven-song set is atmospheric, hypnotic and absolutely stunning.
Engineer Howie Weinberg (Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, Modest Mouse) mastered the LP, while Howard Bilerman (The Arcade Fire, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, British Sea Power) mixed the collection.

Kira Fontana is one to watch,
By Missy M. (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Inner Revolution (Audio CD)
I love this album- really one of the most original things I've heard in a while. Great orchestrations, surprising moments with strings and percussion, and powerful lyrics that have already made me cry (in a good way). It's like a Steve Reich / Bjork / Sigur Ros / Sufjan Stevens lovechild. I don't know why more people don't know about this woman!! Buy this album!!!

Kira Fontana is a rare artist, writing moving, beautiful music that goes from solo piano to an almost symphonic rock and back again in a powerful and unique way. Her songs are passionate and real, with a gorgeous voice and melodies that haunt me long after I listen. Brilliant, brilliant album - I wish I could give it 10 stars!

This review is from: The Inner Revolution (Audio CD)
Kira Fontana writes some of the most inspiriting music I have ever heard. A strong sense of her classical training breaks through combined with an individual and unique sound, and a bit of rock all blend together to produce this amazing music. Beautiful and fulfilling with an incredibly passionate voice, there is nothing more you can want out of this album.
