Not worth the money.......2007-03-10

Emma Shapplin no doubt has a beautiful voice, but here's the "but". Her stab at combining pop and opera just doesn't cut it. I don't know if it's because her music selections were poor, I am no expert, I just am a HUGE fan of the pop/operatic genre. Her voice and the songs didn't really come together with that powerful dynamic combo that sends chills down the spine. I suggest Sarah Brightman who has pretty much domniated this genre, and also a less well known artist that I love named Laura Turner. I am always searching for new or obscure artists that perform in this category, and when I did discover Emma, I was disappointed. She was anticlimatic from what I was already listenning to. Try these artists instead and don't waste your money on Shapplin.

Great Item!.......2002-11-04

Simply Great!

Emma Shapplin's voice is a pleasure to my ears.
I love the ODJI remix of Cuerpo Sin Alma. Every time I play this song, it grows on me more and more. I can imagine Emma floating upside down when hearing her singing it. It's like a free-falling song.

I never heard of Opera Trance before purchasing "Discovering Yourself". Cool cover art, cool CD! When I heard Emma singing "Discovering Yourself", that was when I realized she could speak English. All tracks are excellent, by the Paris born artist. Obviously, just because of Emma's CD singles alone, she can make a big name for herself!

The tracklist on the single is:

Discovering yourself
Cuerpo sin alma ( remix by ODJI )
Fera ventura
Dolce veneno

I almost feel like it's a mini album, but it's NOT.

Hope this little review has helped you.

Unbelievable.......2001-10-27

I used to be a rock fan, until I heard Emma Shapplin's voice. This single along with the songs she sang on the Red Planet soundtrack was enough to change my musical tastes forever. She is that good!

Cold yet Ethereal.......2001-08-09

Like many my introduction to Emma Shapplin was through Opera Trance's Spente Le Stelle remixes. From there I knew I had to have more. So when I came across the single "Discovering Yourself" I immediately bought it to get a better understanding of what her normal singing was like, and boy was I ever pleased with the results! Obviously she doesn't have the power of Cecilia Bartoli or the warm vocals of Sarah Brightman, but who cares! Who wants a duplication of another anyways? I think she's got immense talent that can surpass the standards of opera and what's expected of it any day.

The dark ambient-like "Fera Ventura" has got to be one of the most compelling and arresting songs I've ever set ears on, and "Discovering Yourself" is an edgy rock/pop song that (thanks to audio samples) helped lure me to her. And though I prefer Chiara Zeffirelli singing it better, "Cuerpo Sin Alma remix is a good blend of opera and light trance; and "Dolce Veneno," being the more traditional song, is simply breathtaking and moving. This is a perfect introduction to Emma Shapplin's music. Can't wait to get Carmine Meo now!

Later.

Beautiful.......2001-07-23

Emma Shapplin has quickly become one of my favourite artists. A great classical crossover opera / trance performer with an incredible voice, and strong material. Whilst we wait for a new album from Emma, buy this cd single, with a mixed version of one of the album tracks, and more importantly 3 new songs!

Fantastic...
