| The long awaited debut from -
Katie Harman,
One of the most beloved
“Miss Americas” !
Harman’s voice - “Pure and Angelic.”
“Soul of Love,” a collection of original love songs
Set to Italian and personal poetry, with two well-loved classics, that bridge both the classical and pop worlds, echoing a popular appeal akin to Sarah Brightman, Il Divo and other classical crossovers.
These songs are in so many ways, lovesongs.
Ranging from the special kind of love that can only exist
Between a man and a woman. Intensely romantic love.
And the kind of love we feel towards God, our reaching out
For transcendence and our connection to a higher power.
Our love and our unquenchable thirst for the divine.
Also the kind of love we feel towards things ephemeral
And beautiful, like flowers blooming in spring.
Incomparably wondrous and fleeting.
And the kind of love and connection that can be born
Only on the field of battle. The love between comrades
In arm, and comrades fallen. And the kind of love that
Transcends even the inhumane and desperate tragedy of war.
This compilation is, as such, about the wellsprings of love itself.
Enchanting, poetic and deeply moving.
And perhaps even more, these songs are about really
The Soul of Love.
Sung from the heart, in soulful and unforgettable fashion
by operatic soloist Katie Harmon. Written and composed with the
sweeping cinematic signature of composer/pianist Michael Allen Harrison.
Harmon’s voice and phrasing is as pure and angelic
as the falling snow that she sings of in “Ancient Winter.”
Whether she’s singing in French, Italian or English,
You sense a maturity and a charisma that defies her age.
Harrison takes these considerable gifts and deftly creates
Memorable melodies and lush arrangements that further
Support and showcase Harmon’s range and vocal shadings.
Indeed, it is the brilliant partnering of these two talents
that leaves one feeling spellbound and transported.
If this compilation was only the sum of it’s parts,
it would still be a work of significant stature.
The beguiling fact is, it is so much more.
Like love itself,
you can expect this album to be at times
light-filled, sweet and deliriously passionate.
At times dark, searching and mysterious.
And at times powerful, vibrant and pulsing with life.
However you are affected by “Soul of Love,”
you can expect that, like the inimitable experience of love itself...
you will find it unforgettable. |
