Review "Out of the Blue & Into the Amazon" January 2012

"Each track of the newest album of Emily Burridge is a short story. They are all told by the expressive musical voice of the artist’s cello. Emily is a virtuoso performer which easily conveys the smaller nuances of her feelings. And the music of the British artist is deeply emotional also. It is overflowing with the irrepressible passion of Emily’s heart. The music of “Out of the Blue & Into the Amazon” has one more very important feature. It contains the wildness of the Xavante tribe, their primordial and very heartfelt sense of the surrounding world. It is so very important for the modern human perverted civilization which forgets the natural things as love, compassion, and empathy following the illusive technical progress. Therefore the music of Emily Burridge is like a gulp of fresh air from the first seconds to the last chords. The artist masterfully adds various sounds of nature to her touching music. But the most captivating is the singing of the Xavante people. Something very ancient is felt in their voices. All this creates a calming meditative state of mind when you listen to this project. “Out of the Blue & Into the Amazon” is undoubtedly an outstanding release in the genres of new age, neo classical and contemporary instrumental music. This double CD is a generous gift for music lovers searching for sincere music." Serge Kozlovsky http://sergekozlovsky.com
