Combining
amazing songwriting skills with her powerful vocal abilities , Robin
Castaldi's music flows with undeniable force and heart-grabbing emotion.
"We Can Fly" will captivate listeners with its glorious mix of spirited,
inspiring rhythms and passionate, flowing melodies.
Here Robin uses her experience as a veteran lead "chick singer" and club
performer to bring her energy to life in the driving and dance-inducing
tunes such as "Promise Me", "Dreams", "No Matter What" and "We Can Fly".
Enthusiastic percussion and drums add an even more upbeat flavor to what
are already irresistible, hook-driven tunes.
Alternately, her rich, beautiful ballads reach into the depths of the
listener's soul with the ache of their longing melodies and insightful
lyrics. Referred to as the "Queen of the Haunting Ballads", Robin's
abilities in this area are perhaps most notably showcased in "Don't Say
Another Word". This gorgeous song paints a poignant, heart-wrenching
picture of the painful ending of a love affair. On "Eyes Of Love" the
deep, comfortable emotions of lovers in the midst of everyday life are
almost palpable in this rich, flowing song. And "I Am There" touches the
heart as it deals poignantly with loss and loneliness.
While this CD's first ten songs would be most aptly described as "Adult
Contemporary" in the vein of Celine Dion, Faith Hill or Martina McBride,
Robin has also paid tribute to her Contemporary Christian roots in the
unforgettable ballad "Forgiven". Here the Christian message is presented
with touching, aching honesty in one of the most beautiful melodies on the
album. And the final cut, "America My Home", is a patriotic anthem that is
surprisingly moving in its message and deeply stirring in its music and
production.
If you like skillfully-written, beautifully sung and well-produced adult
contemporary music, you will love "We Can Fly" ... |
