Music reviews of Warm Strangers
Music Review: Simply Beautiful
Rating: 5 Stars
This is an exceptional album with Vienna Teng's soaring voice mixed elegantly with varied and interesting instrumentation. I fail to understand why radio stations generally ignore the likes of the music found on this album in deference to songs that we have all heard on scores of occasions. I love the enchanting power of "My Medea" and "Harbor". "Shine", "Green Island Serenade", and "Walter's Song" are also top notch in quality with Vienna Teng's exceptional voice prominent. Perhaps my favorite song on the album, though, is "Anna Rose", a short piece with perhaps the most beautiful singing that I have ever heard. Get this album if you want a break from all that is redundant and stale on many radio stations nation wide!
Description of Warm Strangers
It's not unusual to see someone leave her high tech job these days to seek out new adventures. But how many of them wind up performing on the "Late Show with David Letterman" less than six months later?By the time San Francisco-based singer/songwriter/pianist Vienna Teng, 26, quit her full-time software engineering job at Cisco Systems in 2002, she had signed with independent label Virt Records and was preparing for her full-length CD release, "Waking Hour." She was soon opening for such artists as Shawn Colvin and Joan Osborne. With her graceful melodies and evocative lyrics, Vienna has garnered critical acclaim and a rapidly growing legion of fans throughout the world.
Vienna has returned with her sophomore release, "Warm Strangers," a diverse collection of lush, melodic songs, incorporating Vienna's classical background and folk sensibilities within a contemporary pop framework. Whereas "Waking Hour," written during the high school and college years, was mostly autobiographical, "Warm Stranger"s marks Vienna's bold leap into fiction. Orchestral and acoustic landscapes, using everything from string quartets to slide guitars, provide an inviting sonic backdrop for her short stories of love, death, struggle and hope.
