Sephira by Sephira

Sephira is an Irish act comprised of two sisters, Ruth and Joyce O’Leary. Their self titled cd is the second from these talented sisters combining some of the songs from their critically acclaimed cd Believe and an EP also entitled Sephira. The years of musical study they have done is obvious from the first crystal clear note. While this is more classical than I generally go for, the girls won me over right away. There is a magical quality about the songs and they could serve as a soundtrack for every girl’s life or the life they dream of having. There is a little Jane Austen meets Cyndy Lauper feel to the cd that will speak to every woman. This songs music will touch the romantic in anyone. I especially loved Love of My Life and My World. Time was hauntingly beautiful. All of the above mentioned were written by the sisters. They also do a wonderful job on David Gates’ If. Three of the cuts are live performances. This one is perfect to pop in the cd player and mellow out even the toughest commute. Seriously, the idiots will actually drive better when you’re listening to this cd.

I could find very little to be critical of here. I think I would have liked a little more emphases on the lovely voices when the cd was mixed and slightly less on the music which does seem to overpower them in a few places. I can’t wait to see what they do next time. I am hoping they bring even more passion to the next one and take us deeper into their magical, musical world.
