Fans of Tara VanFlower will no doubt be thrilled by the release of her second solo disc "My Little Fire-Filled Heart". With this disc Tara has created a diverse collection of songs all of which wonderfully showcase not only her writing and vocal skills but also her eclectic and unique approach to music.

The disc is an impressive collection of pieces utilizing a variety of vocal styles and techniques showcasing the range of Tara's skill, alternating between spoken word narratives to effected looping vocal collages to more traditional styles of singing. The disc often features doubled and tripled vocal lines that give the suggestion of a chorus of Taras, sometimes singing together as one voice, other times as individuals each with their own unique and distinct personality. Minimal ambient elements and drones play throughout the disc, quiet and irregular, providing an excellent accompaniment to Tara's voice, adding to the atmosphere but never distracting from the magic she's created.

Lyrically "My Little Fire-Filled Heart" shines with surreal turns of phrase and captivating imagery. Throughout the disc Tara strings words together that evoke a childlike wonder filled with discoveries, magic moments and dark corners. It's a collection of beautiful fragments of emotion, sometimes blindingly happy, other times unsettling and anxious, but always perfectly captured in crystaline clarity.

To be sure, "My Little Fire-Filled Heart" is a beguiling release, the work of a fearless artist who is able to capture some of the magic that exists around her and make it into something others can share. With this release Tara has solidified her status as an unmistakeable and singular talent in modern music and proves that she deserves attention and recognition for the wonders that she is creating on disc.
