The music on the
Midwinter Turns to Spring music soundtrack is described as romantic Flamenco-flavored pop.
"I want to elicit feelings of love in the listener's heart through my songs, and share
how divine source lets me express and experience love," says Zendrik, a
Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter of Portuguese and Filipino descent.
Zendrik co-wrote, produced, arranged, mixed and performed (together with a female
guest vocalist, Seana Fisher) the songs on the soundtrack to
Midwinter Turns to Spring ,
the very first novel that comes with its own music soundtrack.
Zendrik's debut album, also titled
Midwinter Turns to Spring, consists of Flamenco-flavored pop ballads and an
instrumental theme song. (The music CD is attached to the inside back cover of
the book, and is also available as a
stand-alone CD .)
With
the debut of the Midwinter Turns to Spring music CD, Zendrik is
pioneering the next-generation genre of romantic music -- a throwback from
the bygone era of romantic songs, made contemporary for the modern-day romantic
music lover.
It is unlike any music anyone has heard before, consisting of romantic poetry
set to melodic Flamenco-flavored ballads that are dreamy and uplifting.
THE SONGS SENT SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE
"The very first time I
heard the music soundtrack of Midwinter Turns to Spring, I immediately fell in
love with the songs. They sent shivers up and down my spine because the vocals
were full of heartfelt emotion , and the melodies and words were so romantic and
captivating . I've been listening to the CD everyday -- I play it in the car
while driving to and from work. Whenever I get in the door of my house and
realize I've left the CD in the car, I hurry back to the car and get it so that
I can again listen to it throughout the house. The more I listen to the CD, the
more I get addicted to the songs. I can't go through a day without listening to
the CD at least once."

* you want to be in a romantic mood
* you want to know what it's like to love and be truly loved
* you want to experience deeper dimensions of love

"Time and Space"
If I need some time, I do
But the time I need is the time
to spend with you
If you want to know
If I need some space, I do
But the space I need is the space
right next to you
