It’s been a long time since a record this beautiful graced my ears and soul. Sarah Perrotta is a masterful songwriter with a great sensual feel in her music. Her songs and melodies have a very deep reach, and once they get in there, they don't leave.
At first “Blue to Gold” gives the impression of a very minimalistic sounding record, but each listen opens up new avenues of expression coded within the music. The melodies develop, and sometimes the pace of the record picks up or slows down. Perrotta’s sound is based on the piano. It’s always the lead instrument, and everything is build around it, even if it sometimes falls into the background.
There are plenty of amazing songs on this album. Some have very strong hit potential. Tracks like “Echo of Joy,” “The Wilderness,” “Firestorm,” or “Circles” have all it takes to become radio staples. All of the songs mentioned here have a great sense of emotional touch, and make the listener feel like something very big is about to happen; a magical feel indeed.
The album is full of musical surprises. There is a lot going on here, and plenty of instruments make all of this happen. Everything is beautifully arranged, the music flows, so hold on Speedracer, and enjoy the mood.
Sarah Perrotta created a very special record here. “Blue To Gold” is a soul-bearing album with a sincere spirituality. It’s perfectly delivered, and has that something special that will make it timeless. Perrotta is a very gifted writer with a very gentle touch.
