Influences: Anything that moves your soul and yearns to whisk you away.... moss dripping off the trees, rain kissing your closed eyelids, the wind in your hair and the feel of the ground under your feet. The feeling of your heart pumping with excitement and terror, this vulnerability, this dark and light, push and pull, melting with passion and complexity; this is blood-tingling. The feel of the cotton sheets when you curl up at night. Engulfing, seductive and powerful, you would do anything for love no matter what lies ahead; danger, death, life, you would risk it all. This is when you do not have a choice and your soul is part of each other... you cannot split the soul in half.
Sounds Like: "Anamnesis is her latest Pop effort that is saturated with melancholy with the loss of love, its lingering memories, and other very personal thoughts encapsulated within perfect piano-driven songs. What makes Burns' dark pieces work so well are their atmospheric compositions. With haunted vocals, effectively ethereal music, and a delivery that makes you believe every word, Anamnesis is a fantastic work. - Matt Rowe, Music Tap
"Fans of Tori Amos, Kate Bush and Amy Lee of Evanescence may find similarities but Burns fuses cascading piano and a dynamic voice to come across as slightly more uplifting while remaining genuinely sincere. There is a semblance of broodiness and the lush arrangements to be expected of fans of her peers, but Shauna Burns stands ably on her own." - Brooke Horrocks, Sonic Jive
"On [Anamnesis] Shauna Burns reminds us of her haunting and beautiful vocals and how easy it is to be entranced by the musical web she weaves with a fascinating blend of folk, Celtic and rock music. Each song seamlessly leads to the next inviting you in and becoming intrinsically connected to one another." - Keith 'MuzikMan' Hannaleck
"Eerie at times, ecstatic at others. The lyrics tell a story that twists and turns through the brightest of melodic lights to the darkest lyrical corners, and then, just like that, it compels you back into the light... cryptic and almost chilling piano pieces... I was drawn to the music." - Chel, Spinnaker and Lena
"Shauna Burns has spent untold time at the keyboards to make the instrument a conduit of her rather than her a master of the instrument. This is where you separate the prodigies from the technically brilliant." - Matt Rowe, Music Tap
"Her brilliant piano playing on tunes like 'Tumbleweed' and the softness of 'Magic' prove that she is destined for stardom." - Celebrity Cafe
"Shauna Burns is a phenomenal talent, and the music on this album will take any listener on a journey that will connect one’s inner soul to the universe." - Southwest Blend
