"This album is made up of beautiful vignettes - 3-4 minute songs that are a mix of a soothing lullaby and an old phonographs strange and haunting sound. Beautiful from start to finish. I love this CD."
A dreamy, ethereal, indie essential.

""This Is My Letter to the World" is a wonderful CD. Sarah June has a lovely haunting voice. Each and every song is beautiful and extraordinary. The lyrics are nothing short of amazing and what she does with her guitar is spellbinding. This is the best CD I have listened to in a very long time. One of the rare pieces of music that you love more every time you listen. I am not sure what agenda the other reviewer had but Sarah June is not a "wannabe" anything. Her music and this CD is nothing short of Magical."
