ICE - Piano Slightly Chilled is 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.
"Fiona Joy Hawkins is poised to make the leap into stardom or I'm no
judge of an artist's ability..........ICE is already in the running
for chill-out album of the year as far as I am concerned. - Bill
Binkelman NAR
"Simply put, Ice - Piano Slightly Chilled, the latest golden piano gem
from Fiona Joy Hawkins, is a big "wow." In whatever category you feel
this belongs (New age? World? Soft rock? Jazz fusion?), melody rules
the day here". Ronald Jackson - Jazzreview.com
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 pointâ€. And prove it she has!
Fiona’s classical album Angel Above My Piano won the Best Piano Album in the International New Age Recorder Lifestyle Music Awards (US) for 2006 and her first album Portrait of a Waterfall charted at 1 on the NAR World Charts for 2005 as well as making the top five in the MusicOZ Awards for the classical genre. ICE has made the finals of the MusicOZ Awards for both 2006 & 2007 as well as making the finals of the LA Music Awards.-

"When Fiona Joy Hawkins’ teenagers called her a “classical music nerd,†the pianist/composer known for her “music to dream to,†set out to prove a point. To these ears, she more than proved it, composing, arranging, and recording an album that rocks, rolls, and has one great big good time! “Ice: Piano Slightly Chilled†will get the stodgiest of classical music nerds dancing and toe-tapping, remembering why we old fogies loved instrumental rock music ‘way back when groups like The Ventures and Booker T & The MG’s showed us how much joy wordless music can hold and how it can stimulate the imagination. Listen up, folks! Fiona Joy Hawkins has moved into a new direction, and it really rocks. I love this album, and have had it playing with the volume cranked up for several days now. This is one album that packs in great music with imaginative(sometimes funny!) titles that are all on the chilly side. I hope Fiona’s kids are eating some well-deserved crow and are seeing their mother in a whole new light!"
