Say hello to ‘popera’ pioneer and angel of music, Sarah Brightman.
The Big Issue
The listener is transported back to a musical period that this reviewer would say is around the mid-1990s, an era of magical, epic ballads with a sometimes rocky undertone.

Similar to ‘Sogni,’ the title cut ‘Hymn’ is another noteworthy song that is worth more than just a passing glance. Sarah Brightman’s crystalline voice shines bright like a diamond on the song ‘Hymn.’ It garners an A rating. Well done.

Sarah Brightman Shines Like A Star
Bild (Germany/Europe)
They say a star must be a study in contradictions, someone mysterious and difficult to define. If that’s the case, Sarah Brightman strongly qualifies. She is a delicate waif one minute, operatic diva the next. She offers her own form of rock – soprano belting – switches to classical and then expertly combines all her identities. Through transitions from sweetheart to seductress, she maintains a majestic distance, like a queen dispensing generous gifts to her adoring subjects.

…her voice is still one of a haunting siren.
