Those who enjoy sophisticated, intriguing, thoughtful singer/songwriter music would be wise to listen to female talent Cea Marie.
Marie's music has a laid-back feel with elements of Jazz, Folk and Adult Alternative/Pop Rock. Influences could be found in acts like Neil Young, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Colvin and more.
The recording itself was done expertly, especially the track "Big 'Ol Sky". "Big 'Ol Sky" has a great sound with hints of electronic blips and bleeps, muted electric guitars and pulsating drums. The song also has a great bridge and the vocal arrangements throughout are excellent. Absolutely no reason a song like this couldn't be a solid radio hit.
"Everything Is Byte Size" and "The Swan And The Sparrow" (the title track of the full length album) are also very well done, with "The Swan And The Sparrow" an effective, atmospheric piece with interesting lyrics. This is truly solid music, writing and recording at its best.
