Subject: Likin' Life Review

***This was posted by Abby at the DaxFiles. She won a contest about guessing what was next for Heather (the website) and she won a copy of the CD. So she sat down and wrote out a detailed review! I hope you enjoy it! I sure did. :) --Brooke ***

1. Someone Else's Boy

This song is very calm and pop-y.

I really like when she sings in her lower ranges on this song.

I would love to hear her belt it out, to sing songs that utilize the obvious power in her voice.

Nice job on the harmonies, especially near the end when most of the music drops out (my favorite part).

The slight vibrato in her "oooooos" was beautiful.

>> 2. Stop Losing Your Mind

Excellent guitar intro.

Very relateable lyrics.

The section with her singing the up and down stair-step notes against her own voice is very unique.

Hm, who's playing guitar? ; )

The background vocals are neat - you can tell it's her, but at the same time, it sounds fairly different from her lead voice.

Really like this track.

I love the end, much more soft and raw, great guitar sound with the intermittent lyrics.

>> 3. Likin' Life This Way

Another cool intro with the mild distortion.

Such smooth vocals, I love that she sings in lower ranges so much.

Her natural singing ability is very evident, I wish she had belted it once or twice on this song.

Much faster and danceable song.

Nice tie-in near the end with the sound used at the very beginning.

>> 4.I Don't Need to Know

All of the tracks have such hookable intros.

Mellow pop sound on this one again.

When she is singing along with the guitar... killer! I would love to hear an entire song sung like that.

>> 5. Awaiting

Definitely my favorite!

She just has one of those voices that doesn't need all of the bells and whistles to make it stand out. It is very rich and clean, and easier to appreciate without the pop sound.

For some reason, this one reminds me a bit of Amy Grant or Jewel.

I like the progression and sudden hit of percussion near the end.

Lovely end.

. . . .
Overall... very well done - she really does have an amazing voice!! And kudos to Dax for another CD well done. =)

P.S. I love the CD insert - the photos are beautiful, and the layout looks great.
