Although Christy Danner is clearly influenced by the intensely personal writings of artists like Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan, she has managed to find her own voice in today's maze of solo female singer/songwriters. Her haunting melodies, poetic lyrics, and ethereal voice will draw you in to experience her songs instead of just hearing them. Turning Corners, Christy's first full-length album, plays almost like a series of journal entries. Her music explores the common themes of human experience: love, heartache, joy, loss, and triumph. The majority of the songs are mellow, but none leaves you with a sense of despair. Throughout the album is an undercurrent of hope and faith, undeniably a tribute to her Christian beliefs. Listening to Turning Corners is an experience that is both surprising and refreshing. Christy's songs can be playful, sometimes brutally honest, but also tender and endearing. Her debut album will easily join the ranks of those timeless collections you return to again and again throughout the years.
