Mary Gospe and Corrie Dunn continue releasing single tracks as
they did last year.
This Valentine's Day, the ladies decided to release
"Wildflower in My Heart."
Their New Age Pop music remains unique and consistent in the
genre. They set the mark for anyone else who decides to follow their path.
They sing with joy and healing tones:
You are a wildflower in my heart
A new beginning, a new start
You are a wildflower in my heart
Making love bloom
Corrie and Mary wrote the tune and have James Butler and David
Scheibner for additional instrumentation. Those additions are always
substantial and enhance the beautiful vocals.
The music features soft and entrancing keyboards and tones of
light and hope. The arrangement is perfected, as it always is, to flow with the
vocals.
"Wildflower in My Heart." is one more addition to the
vast catalog of recordings the ladies have recorded over the years.
As a listener accustomed to hearing new-age instrumental music,
it is a nice change to hear such lovely voices and music coming together to
make the heart smile.
Are you ready to let the
Wildflower grow this Valentine’s Day in your heart?

Lissa Coffey and David Vito Gregoli have partnered
to create We Share The
Moon. The inspired love songs will be released for sweethearts
worldwide on Valentine's Day 2024. Lissa contributed the lyrics and melodies to
start, and Vito took all of that to continue the process and played all the
instruments.
Other talented individuals, such as Leela and Cooper Landier,
Donna De Lory, N. Nicole Gilbert, Visvambhar Sheth, Venu Bhanot, and Pankaj
Mishra, also contributed. So, the duo received some golden vocals to add to
their instrumentation.
The difference from what I am accustomed to is that the lyrics
are in every track covering a New Age release. Which is understandable because of
what this music is all about. They are love songs, not just for loving couples,
but the meaning of "Self Love." I subscribe that one cannot love
others until you love yourself first.
Everything about the ten tracks on We Share The Moon is
spiritual as the foundation for everything else, like self-love, patience,
focus, finding your higher self, and raw emotions transformed into something
devoted and pure, as described so beautifully on "Listen." I always
say let the music speak to you, and in the track, the listening is to turn
inward and listen to the voice that knows the truth, and as it says,
"Listen, there is something sacred inside." Our guideposts in life
are part of us when we arrive here. I like to call it my spirit guide—something
God gave me, a blessing so selflessly given to me at birth.
The instrumentation is precise and flows in sync with the superb
vocalizations. What makes this music so palatable and accessible is that all
the vocals are easy to understand. The meanings carry a memorable and
influential impact. Each is variable and consistent with the theme of the
recording.
"Krishna Govinda," featuring Leela Ladnier, is one of
my favorites. This song and its premise will pique your curiosity if you are
like me and are interested in comparative religions and their cultures.
Three-quarters into the track, the vocalist switched to speaking the dialect
that coincides with Krishna's spiritual beliefs. For that interest, Wikipedia
informs us that Govinda (transl. "finder or observer of cattle"),
also rendered Govind, Gobinda, and Gobind, is an epithet of Vishnu and is also
used for his avatars such as Krishna.[1] The name appears as the 187th and the
539th name of Vishnu in the Vishnu Sahasranama. The name is also popularly
addressed to Krishna, referring to his youthful activity as a cowherd boy.
"All I Thought Was Mine" was another favorite, with
notable percussion leading the way and gorgeous vocals weaving in and out the
notes. So celestial and graceful. The percussive elements are like a trip back
in time with an angel singing to you.
The album ends appropriately with "Maha Mantra"
featuring Visvambhar Sheth, Venu Bhanot, and Pankaj Mishra. It is a prolific
mantra in tribute to India's respected spiritual and religious beliefs and
beyond.
I am naturally curious and have a wide range of interests. When
music intersects with cultures other than mine, I gain knowledge while enjoying
the music. I don't always have an answer, so I need to seek the information to
pass on to others, as I did here. This may only have happened with receiving
this unique and inspirational music.
We Share The Moon is a heartwarming and spiritual
journey of love that comes from within and shines as bright as the sun when we
embrace and share it. That is precisely what all the contributors did on the
recording while following the path of truth and the soul's well-being.
