Editorial Reviews

British singer-songwriter Rachel Fuller has roots in classical composition and arrangement, skills she put to the fore working with partner Pete Townshend on his Lifehouse project. On her own work, Fuller flexes these muscles in service to pensive and uplifting songs that alternately brood upon and rejoice in the stranglehold of love. Compared with the more serious-minded singer we encountered on her album debut, Cigarettes & Housework, she sounds lighter on Shine, as if liberated by love. The ballad "I Can Fly" takes wing on a swell of keyboards, both organic and synthetic -- a gentle cushion from which Fuller's delicate pipes soar. The title track, another ballad, rides meditative verses to rousing choruses that evoke the contemporary folk sound of Jane Siberry or Shawn Colvin. Fuller caresses her ode to passion, "Pleasure Seeker," with gutsy, classically inspired piano runs, thrumming electric guitar chords, and prog-tinged synths. A similar theme courses through the electro-pop-meets-folk "In the Mix," while she strips things down on the spare "Just Breathe," which pairs her graceful voice with acoustic guitar pickings from Townshend. At five tunes, the refreshingly modern folk-pop of Shine plays like an elegantly constructed suite, and just like the subject matter at hand, it leaves you wanting more.

September 27, 2010: Ms. Rachel Fuller has a pure, angelic voice. She has been playing piano since the age of 6 and it shows! Classically trained, she is able to transform her music and songwriting into a soul soothing, heartfelt, mix of soft yet upbeat sounds. Also, extremely catchy as you will hear in one of her songs "In The Mix”. As for the song "Shine" her EP's title, you will be treated to the sounds of a strong, confident woman who is well on her way to bringing her beautiful music into the ears of many lucky people that may not be aware of such a talented artist. Ms. Rachel will shine, just stand back and watch!

September 27, 2010: Shine is a perfect cd to listen to on a pleasant Sunday morning. The song "Shine" will let you forget the problems of everyday life and her voice will hypnotize you to the point of total relaxation. Its cheaper than an hour on the couch with a theropist. "Pleasure Seeker" is actually my favorite. I love the power Rachel can also deliver with her talent. Great choice of songs for this cd. She shows a great range of talent on this one. A great deal for a great cd. A must buy for you or as a gift anyone will enjoy...
