"Warm Embrace" features the work of music producer, keyboardist, and fourth generation gospel minister James E. Wall. This impressive collection of gentle instrumental music is ideal listening for those seeking music that will enhance their relaxation, healing, and inspired awareness. Inspired by love, nature, spirituality and healing beliefs, the ten pieces comprising this remarkable and flawlessly recorded recording include Loving Care (3:10); Healing Touch (5:50); Morning Sunrise (5:24); Love Affair (4:51); Desert Sunset (4:35); Cool Waters (5:20); Soul Refresher (5:14); Peace (4:41); Paradise (5:50); and the title piece, Warm Embrace (5:16). Soothing, melodic, lyrical, therapeutic for the mind and the soul, "Warm Embrace is enthusiastically recommended listening -- especially for those harried and stressed out by life's many challenges and issues.

As a fourth-generation gospel minister and former rap/hip-hop artist, keyboardist JAMES E. WALL could have made his debut CD a beat-heavy, overtly-religious, vocal album. Instead, he created WARM EMBRACE -- a gentle recording of instrumental music that focuses on relaxation, healing and awareness -- using his deep feelings about a Higher Power as his inspiration. On WARM EMBRACE Wall proves to be one of the most adept users of keyboard synthesizer in the contemporary instrumental field. His music is filled with the sounds of guitar, saxophone, flute and a myriad of other instruments, so realistically created, it sounds like a full band was in the studio. His music blends smooth jazz and new age with touches of R&B, gospel and classical. Starting with strong melodies, he combines acoustic and electronic sounds into ensemble arrangements propelled forward by bass and percussion rhythms while remaining gentle enough for massage therapy, intimate encounters, cool-off drivetime, or yoga-styled workouts.

I first heard "desert sunset" while listening to the atmospheres music channel on cable TV. I had to find it. When I bought it from amazon, I was not disappointed. This is peaceful music that's soothing to the soul. My favorite songs are desert sunset and soul refresher, but you can listen to the entire CD beginning to end. When I listen to it in the car I find I don't get road rage! That's big for a queen of road rage like myself. LOVE THIS CD!!!
