Heard the word? A few reviews for Spiritus...
Samantha Farrell’s MySpace page describes her sound as a mix of “acoustic, soul and indie,†but, in many ways, the budding L.A. singer/songwriter places soul at the front of her sound. It’s her voice which draws you in, a soulful mix of Van Morrison’s country hospitality, Ella Fitzgerald’s jazzy range and Fiona Apple’s modern honesty. As best ..ed on her new CD, Spiritus, the curly-haired, bespectacled singer is a truly modern folkie, weaving tails through her stories, but connecting with listeners through her voice. The breezy “Sea Song†is a gentle, coffee-shop lament, while the more progressive folk-rock number “Keep Moving†wouldn’t sound out of place in Ani DiFranco’s more rocking repertoire. “Shake,†perhaps the most unique number Farrell has on display, showcases her acoustic guitar chops and, more impressively, skills as an arranger (nodding to the Tin Pan Alley somewhere along the way.) The ballad “She Will Rise†is also a slice of piano-pop which, along with Farrell’s voice, builds from a quiet whisper into something more pronounced. Yet, despite her divergent sounds, Farrell manages to tie Spiritus’ eclectic mix of sounds together by wearing her emotions, and more importantly, her soul on her sleeve.

"....Spiritus is a refreshing change from the less-than-stellar talent that most radio stations are trying to pass off as music today. Spiritus in its entirety is full of beautiful music, and lyrics that tell a new story with each song. "
"The whole CD is great from start to finish. Creative vocals, expressive lyrics, and catchy melodies make it almost difficult to believe that this 11-song album was recorded and mixed in only four days of studio time. "
Writer L. Anne Carrington, Indie Music Stop
