"Emma's soprano voice combined with pop rythms, bass, and electronic arranges is astonishing.I really loved this single CD. After I bought her album "Carmine Meo" I thought that were the best songs, specially "Spente le Stelle" but "Fera Ventura" and "Discovering Yourself" are really GREAT. "Dolce Veneno" is very sweet specially with her talented voice. I am telling you don't have to be an opera lover. This single CD is definitley pop and the best I ever heard. If you doubt it listen to "Cuerpo sin Alma Remix." Excellent purchase, you won't regret it."

"Like many my introduction to Emma Shapplin was through Opera Trance's Spente Le Stelle remixes. From there I knew I had to have more. So when I came across the single "Discovering Yourself" I immediately bought it to get a better understanding of what her normal singing was like, and boy was I ever pleased with the results! Obviously she doesn't have the power of Cecilia Bartoli or the warm vocals of Sarah Brightman, but who cares! Who wants a duplication of another anyways? I think she's got immense talent that can surpass the standards of opera and what's expected of it any day. The dark ambient-like "Fera Ventura" has got to be one of the most compelling and arresting songs I've ever set ears on, and "Discovering Yourself" is an edgy rock/pop song that (thanks to audio samples) helped lure me to her. And though I prefer Chiara Zeffirelli singing it better, "Cuerpo Sin Alma remix is a good blend of opera and light trance; and "Dolce Veneno," being the more traditional song, is simply breathtaking and moving. This is a perfect introduction to Emma Shapplin's music. Can't wait to get Carmine Meo now! Later."

Great Item!

"Simply Great!Emma Shapplin's voice is a pleasure to my ears.
I love the ODJI remix of Cuerpo Sin Alma. Every time I play this song, it grows on me more and more. I can imagine Emma floating upside down when hearing her singing it. It's like a free-falling song.I never heard of Opera Trance before purchasing "Discovering Yourself". Cool cover art, cool CD! When I heard Emma singing "Discovering Yourself", that was when I realized she could speak English. All tracks are excellent, by the Paris born artist. Obviously, just because of Emma's CD singles alone, she can make a big name for herself!The tracklist on the single is:Discovering yourself
Cuerpo sin alma ( remix by ODJI )
Fera ventura
Dolce venenoI almost feel like it's a mini album, but it's NOT. Hope this little review has helped you."
