WAKING UP
— Monique Berry, a promising piano song
artist on her debut emerges fully formed as a stunning
pop-soul artist on her sophomore release Waking Up.
Emotionally bare, these songs are authentic and intimate
portraits of a revealing lyricist showing advanced sophistication
in her arrangements. Monique's songs are beautifully
understated pieces that use jazz expression, touches
of percolating ethnic percussion and smart, R&B
phrasing. The Asian edition includes an excellent rendition
of Paul Simon's "Bridge over Troubled Water."

MONIQUE BERRY:
S/T – "9 seconds into this CD, I
felt my heart stumble. Berry's voice is charismatic
and beautiful in a way I haven't heard since Beth Hart's
debut. With a voice and song-writing in the tradition
of Loreena McKennitt and Sarah McLachlan, Berry makes
no mistakes on her debut. This junior diva may have
been raised in the blustery cold of Michigan, but her
voice is nothing but warm and pleasant. A suggestion
to any McLachlan, Hart or Jewl fans is to pick up her
debut; it has the potency to change your life."
