I'm not so sure that the cover image of this set does it justice. The violin as the focus of the cover gives two impression. The first is that the violin will be the central feature of the set. The second is that this will be some kind of heavily classical music based record. Neither of those things are true. Sure, Kimia Penton plays violin, but it's not the central feature of any of this music. Her voice is the real selling factor here. The music leans toward pop music with elements of things ranging from jazz to country, folk and even progressive rock at times. All in all, this is a set that lives and dies with Penton's vocals. Fortunately she's an exceptional singer and makes this work like a charm. The only complaint is that this is roughly 25 minutes long. I'd love to hear more from this artist.

This comes in quite jazzy and reminds me of Sade quite a bit. Penton's violin adds some intriguing textures to this piece. The vocals have a bit of a soulful vibe, but the music is packed full of magical musical elements.
