One listen to Edwige's "Rise and Sing" (http://www.edwige.co.uk) will set your ears on fire with Edwige's meaningful songs. Like a modern day Joni Mitchell, her passionate delivery and deep feeling for her work will keep her audience tuned in from the album's beginning through the very last track. Songs like "Elegy for You" and "Bad Hair Day" show a level of introspection not often seen in today's music.
She has the ability to reach inside of her listener and pull out a raw emotion. She then shows it to them and returns it, leaving the listener with a new understanding of why it's there and what it means. She does all of this without ever coming across as pretentious as most artists out there today.

Edwige has this hypnotic voice that wraps around me and holds my attention. Songs like "After the Rain" keep me coming back again and again with their melodic music and velvety vocals. When I am done here and I go to write my own music I could only hope to bring to the table what Edwige does. If I could only write with half of the honesty that Edwige brings to her music, I will feel like I succeeded.
