CD Reviews

The best album I've heard in a long time.
10/08/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Very original and unique artist. Amilia's lyrics create very vivid images and stories for the listener. Amilia is also versatile - she is able to rock the house with the best of them and then immediately shift gears and deliver a sultry ballad. Like an Engine is definitely worth adding to your collection!"
Pleasantly surprised!

"Amilia has such a beautiful voice!...I was psyched after I heard this CD for it really exceded my expectations. Unlike many CD's I've bought that only have one or two good songs, I enjoyed each and every one....which is a rare event for me. Definitely a keeper."
An exceptional Performer to Listen to and Watch For

"We came by Amilia by way of a Roger Corman film inwhich she wrote and sang "Don't Wait," as the background for the close of the picture. It was instant interest. A short websearch and "Heart Like an Engine" was ordered. Performers, songs by lyrics and arrangements effect you differently. When I find a song or recording that I play over and over it is significant. Finding new nuance and realization that the poetry, voice quality, and production values each time is rare. Amilia K. Spicer possesses a voice evoking a range of emotions and imagery. The lyrics are unusual in the manner a common human subject is revealed uncommonly and new. The range and style of the songs on this album go from cowboy reference, to swing influenced country, and blues.
The quality of her voice,particularly clear in this recording is used like an instrument to reveal more than just the words. Silences, changes in tempo, backup instrumentation, and expressive productions is above the common commercial products. Having heard Amilia live at the Kennedy Center and
playing her latest release "Seamless," she will continue to be a performer appreciated by other artists. The question is her achieving greater exposure and mass awareness as an artist. I will continue to look forward to her local performance and acquire her recordings as they emerge. She is a must hear."
