In terms of sociological and personal interest, this album could be great. Irish-based EVON BRENNAN was placed in a convent at an early age because her mother was unmarried and her father was from Africa. Exposed to a draconian education, Brennan overcame religious oppression, institutional racism, and the separation from her parents. She has subsequently joined many bands, toured the world, and eventually found apparent success as an artist in her
own right.
Thing is, the music is awful. Within seconds of playing this CD, one gets the urge to turn it off immediately, and hurl it out of the window. Violently.

The music is sickeningly synthetic and quantized to within an inch of its life, the songs are bland and predictable, and the overall effect is horrendous. Its hard to determine where this market is aimed at - just WHO would listen to this twaddle?
Its a shame because here Brennon misses a real opportunity to tell us a genuinely moving and fascinating tale of her upbringing. Perhaps she should write the screenplay of her life instead. That could work better.
