CD Reviews

Timeless

"Dream The Ocean Blue is both excellent and beautiful music and excellent and beautiful art. It contains two great vocal performances by Jennifer. The performances are: "You and Me" and "Sunshine Hair." These two songs hi-light and demonstrate Jennifer's unique voice as she expressively sings in cadence and harmony with the background piano. "You and Me" is a beautiful composition about enduring love and the hope for a life long relationship. "Sunshine Hair" is a story about how a child, from sunrise to night, is able to light-up our days. The remaining compositions are all excellent piano solos. With each of these classical music-based solos, Jennifer creates and paints spectacular and varied musical images ranging from snowfall to prancing horses. "Aquinah's Song" and "A Walk at Dusk through the Misty Forest at the End of the World" illustrates Jennifer's ability to compose music with heighten intensity, energy, and tempo. Dream the Ocean Blue mixes the beauty and timeless appeal of classical music with Jennifer's very unique and special vocal harmonies."

"This children's album is a real jem. The songs are playful, peaceful, and beautful. We play it at bedtime, in the car and I love using it as a peaceful backdrop in the afternoon. I happily give it 5 stars. My husband, my kids and I all love it... something we parents really appreciate in a children's album!"
A fabulous CD for kids, adults and dogs!

"I love the caption on the back of the CD: "To Children of all nations, worlds, and time, may you always be surrounded by peace, grace, and abundance." This is one of the most profound loving statements I have ever read. Jennifer Yeung is a gorgeous pianist, and her love for children and our precious planet really comes through in her music. I feel a blanket of love and warmth envelop me when I listen to the CD.



Although this CD was artfully composed to lull little ones to sleep, I found myself drifting off to another time, another place. A magical misted wooded area with fairy folk dancing around wild mushrooms. This CD is a rare gem, each song is an adventure in dreamland. In this often chaotic world, it is nice to know that all of us, especially the children, have a safe and happy place waiting for them at bedtime. Lately, I've been leaving it on for my dogs. Its calming effect leaves them at peace and fully rested when I come home instead of anxious and frustrated.



All of the musical pieces are fabulous and written with a pure and loving heart, but here are my absolute favorites: Aquinah's Song, A Walk At Dusk Through The Misty Forest At The End Of The Day, and The Importance Of A Proper Introduction. I especially like the lyrics to The Importance Of A Proper Introduction: "First we start with just a handful of clouds. Then we add two teaspoons of stardust from our very own Milky Way. Oh careful there, just a smidgeon. And then we brew and brew and brew." "What are we making today Mama?" asks Phinneaus. "Well, quite frankly I don't know!" exclaims Mother, "But we soon shall see!" A gentle whiff of something delightful gathers at the tip of Phinneaus' nose. "Ooh" he croons like a small hummingbird. "It smells beautiful, just like you Mama."



Even if you don't have small children in your home, buy it for yourself to experience not only the love, but the chance to de-stress! --By Angela Elliot
