This might be the first CD of Lisbeth Scott's that many hear, but that doesn't mean she is a new artist. She has recorded three other albums on her own label and had her music featured on numerous TV shows and movies. The movie that has gained her the most publicity is easily "The Passion of the Christ", where she served as the vocalist and co-lyricist on John Debney's soundtrack. This was the first time that many have heard of Scott.
Some of the songs on Passionate Voice sound like they would have fit well on the soundtrack for The Passion of the Christ. Scott has a voice that some have likened to Dido, Sarah Brightman, and Sarah McLachlan. Her voice is very ethereal and calming. The instruments on this project are interesting, as the album contains songs that use a duduk (a woodwind instrument from Armenia) and some strings. The producers of this CD have managed to feature Scott's vocals and not let the instruments overpower them. The wonderful job of balancing the vocals with the instruments results in one of the most beautiful albums in years.
This is a project for those moments when you want to sit down with a cup of coffee and just relax and listen to something that is not as heavy as most of the music that is out right now.
