Now the curtain opens again for
Dulce on Devotion, a collection of 10 instrumental and epic piano
compositions for those with an ear for a classical, new age, ambient, or just a
good music without words type of listen.
Once again, I find myself
mesmerized by this music. The tracks comprise the entire scale of human emotion
and everything else in between. What Dulce creates is a soundtrack that could
fit into so many lives and film scores for that matter. I heard the excitement,
sadness, the rolling of the ocean's tide as it hits the shore, sunshine, rain, well
let’s just say her range is amazing. And to cover all of this within one
recording to affect one listener in this manner is an implausible achievement.
It takes a lot to get my attention after 21 years of covering music from around
the world. It has to be quite exceptional for me to dive in and be able to flow
with the music and let my words develop and flow as I listen.
Dulce’s passion and technical
expertise with the ivory keys are exceptional and all 10 tracks can offer a
demanding listener enough to hold their attention from start to finish. The
classical influence is strong in her presentation however she does allow the
discipline some breathing room so she goes into different directions and moods
within one song. To articulate it as improvisation is almost a stretch because
it is organized and so perfected. I am not sure how to explain it beyond that.
I think that many listeners would consider it a new age classical as well.
Essentially all you have to do is let it be whatever it is for you the
individual. I think that is the most important factor for anyone’s listening
experience.
I can tell potential listeners
that this is beautiful music to be enjoyed anytime or anywhere. It is more than
background music though, it absorbs you, relaxes you and empty’s your mind to
make room for all the positive things in life. It is not happy time music, it
is more of a time to reflect, focus and just let the sounds, emotions, and
changes of the tempos guide you. It can take you away from the stresses of life
we all experience for a while. For this listener, that is the absolute best
kind of listen to take in.
Dulce is streaming one track from
the album currently title “Yes It Is You,” which I have included here and on my
New Age Music Reviews Spotify Playlist.
When I hear artistry like this on
display, I wish that I could manipulate an instrument and create such beauty.
But for now, my music is my words and I hope it captures your imagination like
this music just did for me.
