Gina Lenee’s recent release Revealed is a
collection of eleven contemporary instrumental tracks. The new age in her music
is the messages inside the CD sleeve. The words of inspiration and
self-validation are a significant part of what she offers a listener.
You do not have to be a fan of
this type of music to get something of value from it if you are then that is
the cherry on top of the ice cream. I enjoy this type of music immensely and
sometimes wonder if I will run out of words to say with the instrumental
albums, but alas, I am inspired, energized, and cleansed emotionally and
spiritually with this music.
Your true self will be Revealed if you allow
this recording to settle into your consciousness and permeate your very being.
It goes deep but we all do when it comes to our feelings, beliefs, and how we
feel about ourselves. So, the idea here is to empower you to be true to
yourself, listen to the music, relax and become one with the textures, colors,
and vibrations of all these beautiful tracks. The artistry of the sounds can be
a blank canvas that you can paint for yourself.
The extraordinary team at
Imaginary Road Studios with Will Ackerman (acoustic guitar), Tom Eaton
(electric bass), Charlie Bisharat (violin), Eugene Friesen (cello), Jeff Haynes
(percussion), Jeff Oster (flugelhorn) and Premik Russell Tubbs (electric wind
synthesizer, soprano sax), help Gina create a masterpiece of instrumental bliss
and wonderment. The quality of the tracks from a production standpoint is
outstanding and it goes without saying how on point all of the musicians are.
Gina’s piano is the core from which everything grows and melds into one amazing
track after another.
Once “On The Wings of Love”
(added to my Spotify Playlist) started I found immediate recognition from the
past. Jeffrey Osborne’s 1982 hit was hard to forget and so is the melody. It
was nice to hear that song at the mid-way point of this album. I normally do
not hear any covers on these types of releases but it was a welcome addition
and a nice transition. Right after that the main focus and sound of the album
returns, which is important to maintain that consistency and stay with the
original thoughts and meanings.
I will end with this quote from
Tom Eaton that says it all! He not only played bass but was the co-producer
with Will Ackerman and the engineer for the recording.
“An emotional masterpiece. Each
song dives deeply into its own world fully showing the range and passion of a
unique artist.”
