| Unique and varied - a jewel in the crown! Reviewer: Sandy A fantastic cd with unique and varied styles. A mixture of rhythmic, soft, gentle and sexy tracks. A must have for any cd collection - especially mine! wonderful voice, sound and lyrics..what more could you ask! Reviewer: dave I loved this album. I didn't know what to expect but it was a real treat. From the dark, moody, smooth and soft to the uptempo, rhythmic, punchy and infectious, this album is a joyride. Although I heard hints Chrissie Hynde, Annie Lennnox and David Bowie...lots of Bowie, Gina's wonderful voice is unique and all her own. A pleasure and I want more!!! Simply Gawgeous!!! Reviewer: Genyphyr Beautiful voice & melodies combined with great lyrics that leave you thinking - it's all there. Each song on this CD is great (a definite rarity these days) and worth listening to again and again. Sounds like... Reviewer: MO Gina's really hitting her stride here. This is an amazing CD with a wonderful breadth of styles all mingling together to create a beautiful whole. And Gina's voice? In a word: WOW! I can't help but compare it to one of my all time favorites: David Bowie. Similar stylings and range, yet all feminine, and stuff. From a deep sultry and sexy low end to breaking the champagne glass highs, it all works. Good stuff. "a sassy mixture of independent woman, sweet romantic and seductress." Reviewer: The Oregonian : A&E 10-31-03 Mark Woodlief ( click for website ) "The 13-song "Letting Go of Strings" provides Noell room to explore a variety of styles from guitar-fueled modern rock ("3-65") to trip-hop ("Perfect") to electronica ("Addicted") to '80s-style new wave ("Heat"). There's even a bossa nova-influenced tune, "No One's Left Standing." The common thread to the diverse recording is Noell's dusky coo. While it's easy to hear influences in Noell's singing -- Kate Bush, Debbie Harry, Annie Lennox, even a few male vocalists -- she succeeds in establishing her own identity on "Letting Go of Strings." That identity is a sassy mixture of independent woman, sweet romantic and seductress. The final track, "(Look) What I Can Do," is an assertive, proud declaration of accomplishment.

A truly unique addition to my CD collection Reviewer: Louie I loved this CD, and not just one or two songs, but the entire CD. Ginas vocal and style range is truly ah-mazing. Her voice will captivate you from the very first listen as you will find yourself happily being pulled into the myriad of musical worlds she has created. one word to describe Letting Go of Strings - "AWESOME" Reviewer: Trish Madish |
