Music reviews of Angels All Around Lullabies
Music Review: Angelic lullabies straight from Genie's heart to her listeners
Rating: 5 Stars
On her album Angels All Around, Genie provides a delightfully soothing collection of traditional (and not so traditional) lullabies, sure to please children and adults alike. It certainly relaxes this reviewer after a long day! The synthesizer is prevalent on this album, and is always beautifully incorporated, but never overdone. At the center of each song is Genie's pristine voice, which is sweet as birdsong, delicate as flower petals, and gentle as freshly fallen snowflakes.
The album begins with "Abba Father", a sweet and simple little song sure to make you smile. "All The Days of Your Life" is delightful and beautiful, and is enhanced by backing vocals from Genie's husband Troy. This is followed by "The Lord Bless You and Keep You", filled with beautiful vocal contrapuntal lines and a wonderful message. "I Will Call" is another beauty, and "All Night All Day", a personal favorite from my own childhood, is truly inspired.
Genie's version of "Rockaby Baby", mercifully, leaves out all references to falling cradles and infants, and is truly fantastic, especially given her vocal delivery. "Shining Stars (Twinkle)" is a delightful version of an old favorite, enhanced by shimmering synthesizers. Again, Genie changed the lyrics on this one, and it's a really nice piece.
"Brahms Lullaby" is pretty much a given, and again, a beautiful arrangement. "Angels We Have Heard On High" is a great surprise, and a very clever edition to this album. I love the bell like synthesizer sounds on this piece.
"Before You Were Born" is a spoken word piece, with some beautiful vocals to add to the charm. "Hush Little Baby" is beautifully done, while "Everland" is a gorgeous and peaceful instrumental. "My Jesus I Love Thee" and "Jesus Loves the Little Children" are sweet and sincerely delivered, and the closing instrumental, "Sheep May Safely Graze", is a wonderful way to close this lovely and relaxing album.
Angels All Around is a delightful listening experience, sure to sooth listeners of all ages. Highly recommended!
