Listening to Sackcloth2joy"s new release "Reflections" is like eating from a hot and spicy Smorgasbord on a bitter cold day. You keep getting a different taste every time you go back, but it"s all-good for the soul. Many people have been asked to describe the music and there have been as many responses. "Reflectons" definitely has a pop feel with rhythm and blues undercurrent, but with percussion instruments like djembe, tabla and gongala bells subtly interlaced, it has distant links to the "ethnic world" category. The lush harmony vocals are a defining character- a cornerstone, of this seasoned pop style with a dash of Sade. Blue Green integrates the harmonies that this band is known for with acoustic guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, timpani, human beat box and knuckle loop, all mixed together to provide a smooth and rich appetizer for things to come. Everywhere You Go, is very much a pop song that ?fills the air?. You can"t help but sing along with the chorus of this one. Three-part harmony and backing vocals smoothly ride atop the acoustic and electric guitars, bass and acoustic drums and is very satisfying to the ear. Stay, is the long awaited single for many fans. It is finally recorded! The powerful lyrics are supported by strong vocals on this song and the musical arrangement of driving electric guitars and bass with synthesized orchestra; drums and djembe take the listener to heaven"s door. September Days is this band"s haunting but hopeful tribute to the tragic events that occurred on September 11, 2001. Only coincidentally is the track number for this song number 11. Again the strong vocals are supported by acoustic guitar, rhythmic bass, bass, Rhodes keyboard, Axatse. drum loop, djembe and fittingly the tabla (a middle eastern hand drum). These four songs give you a taste of the 11 tracks on "Reflections". Buy it now!
