Product Description

My Heart, the luminous new album from the Norwegian-born singing sensation Sissel, has an inspiration that is pure and simple. My Heart deftly mingles fresh new pop songs with sacred and classical hymns and operatic arias, all transformed by Sissels limpid, sparkling vocals. Her voice has the smooth, soaring grace of a classical diva, but her singing adds a direct, crystal-clear yet haunting expressiveness that is uniquely hers. Tracks include Pie Jesu, You Raise Me up, O Mio Babbino Caro, Ave Maria, Someone Like You, Wait a While, and Angel Rays. Track list: 1. Wait A While 2. Lascia Che 3. Someone Like You 4. Tristezza 5. Angel Rays 6. Mon Ceur 7. Pie Jesu 8. Oblivion 9. You Raise Me Up 10. O Mio Babbino Caro 11. Ave Maria 12. Deborah s Theme (From Once Upon A Time In America)

There's no arguing with the power of Sissel's voice. The Norwegian soprano brought James Horner's Titanic to life and blew people away at the Lillehammer Olympics' opening ceremony. Positioned as a classical crossover performer, Sissel's talent and versatility gets her into trouble. The 12-song My Heart bounces back and forth from Andrew Lloyd Webber to Franz Schubert, from Astor Piazolla to Ennio Morricone. These different composers are reconciled into one album by her talent. She's less successful with a so-so version "Ave Maria," but does better with Puccini's tear-jerker aria "O Mio Babbino Caro." Things go aesthetically awry when the singer (who has recorded folk music in the past) dives into folk-pop with "Angel Eyes" and then spin completely out of control on Richard Marx's "Someone Like You," which is a jarring stab at light R&B. Seemingly formulated by marketing team, My Heart may succeed at getting radio airplay in different formats, but it's an album that loses its way at times. --Tad Hendrickson
