Editorial Reviews

Laura Michelle Kelly's debut album `The Storm Inside'. Recorded in London last summer and released on Angel Records, the forthcoming LP is a heartfelt collection of beautifully diverse material. Produced by the highly respected Marius de Vries - whose past credits include Bjork's `Debut', Rufus Wainwright's `Want One' and `Want Two', David Gray's `Life In Slow Motion' and the groundbreaking Moulin Rouge - the new album features 12 stunning songs that highlight Laura's tremendous vocal ability and is as assorted as the people behind it. Features collaborations from a host of stellar songwriters including Jamie Cullum, Guy Chambers, Pete Vetesse, Felix Howard and - for the first time co-writing with another artist - Neil Hannon from The Divine Comedy. There are six original tracks and six interpretations of previously recorded material close to Laura's heart, including Paul Weller's achingly romantic `You Do Something To Me', Nick Drake's `Riverman' and a twisted version of Stephen Sondheim's `Losing My Mind'. Angel Music Group. 2006.

This album is so amazing!! I was blessed enough to see Laura Michelle Kelly on Broadway as Mary Poppins. Her songs are sweet and full of meaning. She has an amazing voice!! It is a very calming album worth listening too! There's something on this album for everyone!

"The Storm Inside" became a favourite album of mine within days of receiving it; Laura Michelle Kelly proves again and again with each new song that she has an extremely versatile and beautiful voice. It's been a while since this album was released, but I love it to death and I'm hoping that some new ones are in the near future for this sparkling West End and Broadway star!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but disappointing, October 20, 2010

This is the most disappointing album I've heard since Sarah Brightman's "Dive".

I was so blown away by Kelly's winning performance in the first contest to recognize up and coming West End artists, in 2000, recently (re)broadcast on the Ovation channel, a decade later, that I immediately went to see what I could find of her voice on disk.

What I found was this lone album recorded about halfway between then and now. Upon receiving and listening today, I found mostly unfamiliar material, despite several familiar titles in the track listing (unavailable for preview). Titles I thought I knew are either not the same songs, or the arrangements are so strange as to make them unrecognizable. One song I did recognize was the Four Tops' "Reach Out", but the arrangement was what I'd call big band pop, like one might have heard on a LuLu album from the 1960s.

Maybe this album will grow on me, but will somebody please notify me when Kelly records an album full of hit show tunes with fairly standard arrangements, like those in her "audition"?
