Heather Nova anew, Again........2005-09-11

A long lost sweetheart introduced me to the pleasures of Heather Nova's music, after which I have made certain to own copies of all of her releases, studio and concert albums.

Each of her cd's are unique testaments to Heather's incredible writing skills and wonderful talents as a vocalist. Though my favorite song is "SPIRIT IN YOU" from her GLOW STARS cd, my favorite album is probably a toss-up between SIREN and STORM. However, after one listen to REDBIRD, I just might have a new favorite album. Heather Nova releases her new album after giving birth to her first child. Her maternal experience offers a significant muse in her style, her perspectives and her arrangements throughout REDBIRD. A must-have for any and all music fans.

Not as intriguing as SIREN, not quite as melodic as STORM, REDBIRD is truly equally sensitive and intellectual from track to track. Not nearly as inventive as GLOW STARS, nor quite the evocation of OYSTER, REDBIRD is truly emotive and beautiful throughout.

Maybe not quite as fun and sexy as SOUTH, Heather Nova blends all of the finest elements of her previous recordings into one truly brilliant work of art, that rouses the spirit in me and beckons for heavy rotation in my extensive cd collection.

From her honorific to Emilia Airheart ("MISS THE SKY") and her incredible cover of Chris Isaak's haunting hit song "WICKED GAME," Heather balances most (if not all) of her talents that have been on full display in previous albums, into one lovely work of art, as few other artists have ever acheieved before.

While too many talents rise and fall from one album to the next, very few are able to reach the heights of artistic merit and hold on to that pinnacle, from year to year. Heather Nova is one of those masters, which sadly is not belied by record sales within the United States.

The most cherished of moments on REDBIRD include Heather's muses of love and loving, through such tender songs as "SINGING THROUGH YOU" and "WAY TO LIVE" (which thus far is my favorite track on this wonderful release.

Heather's diverse styles and talents remind me of Tommy Shaw, whose incredible catalog of songs which have ranged through his early years with STYX, DAMN YANKEES and solo albums, always bring on new surprises in her artistic endeavors, without being phoney and pandering to least common denominator of record selling in the uninspired popular music market.

Whether a long-time fan or newly introduced to the imagination of Heather Nova, one must listen to REDBIRD. After REDBIRD, one will be enthused to purchase all of Heather's previous masterful releases.
