Joanna McMeikan
is certainly a force to be reckoned with; she has strong vocals that
consist of a wide range of levels, the kind that grabs your heart
and soul, but be prepared for the chill to the bone sensations. This
is the most beautiful and extremely professional vocals I have ever
heard, the lyrics are very well written. The instruments are
excellent, precise, crisp - clear and in all the right places.
Even though I have not personally been privileged to witness a 'Joanna
McMeikan' show, just from the sounds coming from this cd, I would
recommend the listener to seek them out and take in a
performance. .
Joanna will
totally blow you away with her dynamic vocal technique, a strong and sexy
voice without being overbearing. Performances that all performers would
want to see, hear, and learn from. Simply put its great music.
Joanna McMeikan shows
a definite expertise of vocal and musicianship on this 'Breaking the
Habit' cd.
The dynamics of this group is extremely precise. Joanna McMeikan is
definitely bound for the big time and in my opinion her fame and fortune
will come from material like 'Past Unconditional' very
goooood, this little tune could easily send Madonna into
retirement!!....other tracks of
Joanna
McMeikan
to watch out for are ‘Lover of Mine' - shows the diversity
as an exploding singer, expertise of musicianship and songwriting.
