Review by Candice Michelle for Amazon:

Healing Music Volume 2

by Candice Michelle for Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Music-Vol-Valerie-Romanoff/dp/B0771FGPKD/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=improvinati01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=d0b2058d2629e9e7f9dac3b8069021f8&creativeASIN=B0771FGPKD

Valerie Romanoff is an innovative and versatile multi-instrumentalist who’s explored a variety of musical styles. The second installment of her Healing Music series meant to uplift and soothe the soul, Healing Music, Vol. 2 is a fantastic double-album comprised of 18 compositions spanning over 2 hours. Alternating between groovier cuts denoted as “chill” and more meditative pieces denoted as “still”, Healing Music, Vol. 2 is an overall chic and semi-exotic blend of acoustic, meditation and world beat styles of music. Throughout the album, Romanoff plays guitar, piano and synthesizers, while she’s joined by Steven McNamara on sitar and Tom Rossi on flute, kora and percussion.

 

“Pink Skies Over Still Water (Still)” opens the album with a soul-soothing soundscape of spacious chords, brushes of sitar and gentle acoustic guitar. Seemingly evocative of a misty morning, the collective instruments immediately instill a sense of serenity among nature. “Pink Skies Over Waves (Still)” continues in this melodiously tranquil mode, while adding subtle touches of flute along the way, as elements of both Eastern and Western acoustic music are seamlessly woven into a sonic tapestry of organic resonance. The next track, “Beyond the Bend (Chill)”, is one of my favorites – and as its title suggests, turns up the tempo a few notches. Simultaneously relaxing and rhythmically hypnotic, the piece is guided along by Indian tabla drums, as intonations of “Om” underlie a colorful arrangement of South Asian instruments – effectively bringing-to-mind scenic images of a sacred temple overlooking a lotus pond. Another one of my favorite pieces is “Moving Glass (Still)”, which sounds a bit less “exotic” and perhaps more familiar to Western ears compared to most of the other compositions. A mesmerizing piece characterized by liquid layers of electric guitar and balmy atmospheric textures, it seemingly alludes to a paradisal destination of golden sunset beaches.

 

Romanoff likewise incorporates elements of traditional Raga music while maintaining a western musical sensibility throughout. Additionally, she’s included radio edits of all the original tracks on the second half of the album, as some listeners and radio programmers certainly appreciate the convenience of being able to opt for shorter versions of lengthier compositions.

 

Despite first glance at the album’s generic-seeming title and Buddha cover artwork (of which is nonetheless beautifully depicted), I genuinely enjoyed Healing Music, Vol. 2 immensely. Indian instruments and Eastern spiritual themes have long been a staple of the “new age” and world-beat genres and as a result, much of it tends to sound cliché – but not so with this wonderful album. Crafted with utmost professionalism that seemingly suggests an inherent sense within the artist of knowing when less is more, Healing Music, Vol. 2 boasts a majestic array of delightful-sounding instruments that engulf the listening space without overwhelming it. All in all, this is the perfect “chill-out yoga” music for transporting the mind to an idyllic soul retreat!

5/5 stars

Biography

"Music has the power to heal, transform, evoke emotion, underscore and enhance our lives. By consciously aligning with elements of music, we can affect deep changes in our world." -Valerie

“Women of Art ” Interview

“I’ve been watching and listening, educating myself about where we are and how we got here.  Studying sacred texts, listening to today’s Luminaries, chanting, meditating, praying, writing and sharing ideas. Somehow it keeps coming back to kindness and love; having compassion for ourselves and others, envisioning the world we want to see, using light to dissolve the darkness, using love to dissolve fear.  The more we focus on our highest vibration, the closer we come to creating that reality. It is not always easy! Living from the heart means getting out of our minds, letting go of habitual negative thinking, mastering our knee-jerk emotional reactions.

MUSIC CAN HELP!
-Music re-calibrates our energy, allowing us to enter a peaceful state;
-Music holds and transmits the vibrations of our thoughts, intentions and prayers;
-Music acts as a vehicle, sending out these positive vibrations;
-Music is a safe place to share common experiences, bringing us together in Oneness;
-We can use music to enter the stillness, connect with our inner Divinity, receiving the gifts from our higher consciousness.

Great shifts happen when we come together with positive intentions to heal ourselves and our world, ONE BEAT AT A TIME!”
