REVIEWS
"The independent music world has created a few jewels already and this album is among them. Leila Florentino is an amazing artist and musician."
-John Fitzgerald, author of Spring Water
"I wish I had the privilege to see her perform in the title role of the Broadway hit "Miss Saigon" in New York. Her voice is sheer magic and touches your heart. As a singer songwriter she expresses herself with beautiful words and haunting music."
-Helene Cardona, author of The Astonished Universe
