About Me

GrandEvolution-latest review in NORTHEAST PERFORMER MAG www.performermag.com If You Only KnewProduced by Drew Townson and GrandEvolution Recorded by Drew Townson at Altitude Studios Mixed by Jason Elgin at Syncromesh Studios Mastered by Dana White at Specialized MasteringSarah Kolletts vocals are an enigma; her soft and sweet vocal timbre is quite a contrast to the heavy, intense rock sound of the music. It is a combination that is unusual and unique and one wonders how it will ultimately sound. In one word: phenomenal. While Sarahs voice is not that of the typical rocker-chick, it is strong and clear and a place where an obvious talent resides. These songs have an original sound and the cadences and timing are unpredictable, which separates them from the rest of the pack. GrandEvolution is in no way a cookie-cutter band and has a distinct sound that is different from other rock bands youre likely to hear on your radio dial.Kolletts lyrics hold another departure. While her themes are commonplace love, loss, rejection the lyrics are anything but trite. Kollett is able to capture common and identifiable feelings with grace and beauty.In Find a Reason, Kollett perfectly states the struggle for meaning and peace in our lives: We try so hard for moments that are forgotten / Our heroes lessen as we grow / Inspirations come and go / Have to find a reason / Happiness doesnt come on its own. Star describes the fear of not being enough, and having the strength to try for something more: Youve given me all the courage that I need / I could be that person that you were always looking for. If You Only Knew strikes a chord with anyone whos ever experienced doubt and unrequited love. She asks, Is it worth it to chase the impossible when time is short and rejection hurts?GrandEvolution is a melding of the sweet and the rough, culminating in a style that is all its own, with a pure rock sound that grabs hold and doesnt let go.www.GrandEvolution.com-Stacia Waraska
