a Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds
Back in July of 2002 I reviewed Sharon Edry's first CD, "Edge of a Dream" and I liked it very much.
I don't remember that CD's songs being about love lost which makes me wonder if something happened to Sharon in between the two recordings. This one has quite a sad edge to it. Clearly she's been through a break up recently. If not, she's great at imagining it or recalling an old parting.
The very first line out of the gate is fabulous:
"I think that I should win a special Oscar for my part
As a blind girl living with a semi-broken heart" Then "Happy Ever After" has this heartbreaking phrase:
Edry really has a way with words. She draws pictures with them that really get you to visualize exactly what she means. What a talent.
But the album isn't necessarily a downer. The songs have an upbeat feel to them. Sort of a disconnect with the lyrics. But it works. Her voice is as strong, clear and lovely as ever. She's also got a knack for writing melodies that hook without being trite.
This is a great pop/folk recording.
Stand out songs: "Blue Rain" and "Uncertainty"
