專輯介紹:

Award-winning composer-musician Fiona Joy Hawkins has released a new, cool album. And it's already made a splash! An exciting mix of piano and rhythm, ICE is instrumental chill at its very best---but like nothing you have EVER heard before! Sensual, with some vocal tracks, ICE covers chill, jazz, world and rock, with a taste of the unusual thrown into the mix. With an already successful classical career and two award winning neo-classical albums, why change directions in such a radical way? Fiona replies: 'When my teenage sons called me a classical music nerd - I had to prove a point'. And prove it she has! ICE has already won awards and is making the critics take note by pushing the piano boundaries.

Fiona Joy Hawkins wrote all of the music, plays piano and keyboards, and sings on the last two tracks. Dieter Kleemann brings his soulful rock guitar to four tracks, and some tracks feature bass guitar, didgeridoo, tarogato, and other acoustic instruments. Mostly, it's Fiona doing her own "cool" thing!

"Iced Rain" opens the album with a driving beat, lots of keyboard effects, and a simple piano melody that pours on the energy. Hmmm - this doesn't sound new agey at all! I like it! "Cloud Chill" begins with didgeridoo and then guitar and piano, with another infectious, driving rhythm. "Frosted View" chills it down a few degrees with a beautiful (but still very rhythmic), passionate piece that is melancholy and full of longing. "Antarctic Wings" and "Snow Bird" are the same song, but the latter has lyrics and the first is an instrumental - both are gorgeous. "Love In the Refrigerator" has to be a classic title, but the piece itself isn't silly or even light - slow and very effective. I like all of the pieces on this album, but "Winter Cold" is one of my favorites. Again very rhythmic and energetic, this piece really moves. The wordless vocals in the background add to the passionate piano/keyboard and give it the feeling of cool open space. "Frozen Rose" is an icy slow dance that contains the sound of howling wind in spots. "White View" is an alternative arrangement of "Frosted View" with more piano and a mild "eastern" flavor - both arrangements are wonderful in their emotional depth and passionate expressiveness. "Crystallized Love" features Fiona's sensuous vocals that sing of "freedom, love, touch, heat, ice..." and the sultry request to "crystallize me." Chills!
