Likely Emergence
R. J MOSS | Alice Springs, Australia | 05/23/2005
(3 out of 5 stars)

"File Serena Ryder's name away as someone to keep an ear for. The Canadian singer-songwriter has been visiting the shores of Oz these last couple of years and enthralling the crowds of the coastal folk festivals that have grown in popularity over the last decade. Ryder has a big, big voice, mature beyond her years. And she can let it out full force, as per the unaccompanied,'At Last'. Cyndi Lauper's covered this recently and with more melodiousness. But Ryder's earthy take is equally breathtaking. On,'Skin Crawl' and the title song,'Unlikely Emergency' she demonstraes the quivering tonality that great voices so effortlessly emit. The production and backing here is uneven and doesn't really create the spaces that might better showcase her gifts. The songs are solid vehicles without showing an especial lyric gift. Some one will surely spot Ryder and nurture the exemplary gifts that this debut demonstrates. Several comparisons can be made. The stunning debut of Tracy Chapman's unique voice,is one. For those already with a ticket on Ryder's journey, try Melbourne based, country chantreuse, Deborah Conway's,'String Of Pearls'(hard to trace,though). The other favourable comparison, less for her writing than for her sonorous vocal attributes,is Ellen McIllwaine."
Fantastic new artist!

"I was given this cd by a family member and was blown away when I played it. Serena Ryder, who hails from Toronto, has an absolutely amazing voice and range. Her song writing is wonderful, she shows her true talents, especially at such a young age. I recommend this highly...if you are a fan of amazing female singers and songwriters, you will love this album...I look forward to hearing more from her in the future!"

"I have loved Serena's music since she was on the folk circuit, in Perth was awesome. Love this girl!

The tunes need to be blasted loud in the car, these are great rockin-driving tunes. Her voice is enchanting and chilling! Serena being a Canadian is just gravy!"
