This is not Bel Canto

"Anneli branched out on her own, and it shows in this album. A fellow reviewer of this album did not like it, because it doesn't contain the "magical" sound of Bel Canto. I agree, it doesn't, and that is part of what makes this album great.



Anneli has proven to me that she can hold her own and put out wonderful music. This album is very poppy, however, so if you are not a fan of pop music, I wouldn't recommend it."

"I've been listening to Bel canto's music for some time now and i've got all of their albums. When i found out that Anneli has made her own inbetween , i thought i had to have this album and so i did.
No doubt , that Anneli wants to make a norwigian Bjork out of her, but she's far much poppy than Bjork. The album goes through pop , dance , r&b , rock , jazz together with world influences,wich Anneli likes to do. I think she has a very unique and hunting voice and vocal style and that she's very talented lady , both in singing as in writing , compesing and prouducing her music , but i think she's too poppy . Plus , the album doesn't have the Magical Bel canto feel to it. However , this is a good album , after all and i'd reccomend this not only to Bel canto's fans , but also to anyone who likes melodic and expirimental music , who's not afraid to say that pop sensibility can be a very good thing."
