Passionate Voice, February 16, 2005
Lisbeth Scott, with her latest album, has created something completely sacred. Full of nature and passion, this is amazing, ethereal music.
Reveal: A haunting, lush melody. Lisbeth Scott's voice is really beautiful in this, with almost a breathy quality. 5/5
To Love and Be Loved: A very attractive song. The chorus is gorgeous. "Heaven knows, is the road to peace, heaven knows, that we're all here to love and be loved." 4/5
Give: Very nice and catchy. Echoes around in your head. "Oh love the sun is not so warm as when your soul meets mine. All darkness lifts to heaven's light and shines and shines for you." 4/5
All of These Years: This is one I constantly find stuck in my head. Although the tune can get slightly irritating, the lyrics are great. "May Queen, twirling in a pretty dress." 4.5/5
Grace: Lovely lyrics, nice instrumentals. Though Lisbeth can reach the high notes in this song, it makes my voice hurt just thinking about the strain. Other than that, beautiful and ethereal, yet powerful. "I lift my hands to catch the falling rain...I'm walking through a dream of ecstasy." 5/5
Surrender: Absolutely beautiful. Strikes a chord in my memory, brings back lovely visions. Wow. "Only darkness when I burn for the sun. All I hear is silence when I ask for song." 5/5
No One But You: Could have been trite, but the fresh tune bails it out. "Guess today's a less than perfect day. Wait it out until the fog has cleared." 4/5
Stones: A bit depressing, but the superb instrumentals reconcile it. The lyrics are wonderfully wise. "And so I can forgive these little stones. I'll put my own down." 3/5
Passionate Voice: The best here. Haunting, gorgeous soundscape, with lyrics as old as time. "In the beginning. Passionate Voice. Called from the arms of love to rejoice. One peace. One soul. One God. One home. One sound. One tear. One hand. No fear." 6/5
Reveal (Reprise): Almost Celtic in instrumentals. Completely amazing, unfolding slowly over time. Shakes you to the bone in a wonderful way. 5/5

A magical masterpiece, August 29, 2005
On this exceptional album, Lisbeth incorporates world influences, irresistible pop hooks and folk sensibility to create a masterful and achingly lovely listening experience. From the first strains to the last, these songs will open your eyes and heart to Creator's presence, the divinity within all things, and the power of believing in love. It's truly a magical, holy voyage.
The album opens and closes with "Reveal", a beautiful, mysterious and tender piece, in which Lisbeth's angelic vocals sparkle. "To Love And Be Loved" is a testament to the power of true love, with it's message that "we're all here to love and be loved." "Give" is a stunning song, with a wonderful Celtic feel, fantastic uplifting lyrics, and such sincerity! "All Of These Years" is a song about second chances; with a fabulous pop vibe and a chorus you'll sing all day! "Grace" is my favorite song from the album, showcasing Lisbeth's range, and with lyrics that will bring you to tears. It's a powerful anthem! "Surrender" is a tender piece about giving your needs over to Creator, and Lisbeth's delivery is truly superb. "No One But You" has great orchestration, a catchy chorus, and as always, wonderful lyrics. "Stones" is all about forgiveness and release, and the lyrics will take your breath away with their sheer sincere intensity. The title track, "Passionate Voice", is a magical song about how our ancestors understood the union and oneness of God and humanity. It is very thought provoking, to be certain.
Lisbeth is a fantastic singer, and a glorious lyricist. Her passion is evident in every song, as is her beautiful spirit. Join her on this awesome journey. You'll be so glad you did!!! Worth every cent. A magical masterpiece. Highly recommended!!!

This is a sparkling gem., August 22, 2004
I highly recommend this album, because the level of artistry is so high by Lisbeth and her whole crew. Her voice is sensuous and sincere, the melodies and lyrics are catchy and memorable, even achingly beautiful. I'm finding myself humming them hours later. This is an album to listen to again and again.
