I liked You as a Person, and I dug Mimosa, and the Christmas Classic, but I had no idea about what a Powerful and important Musical Artist, that You are.
Kenny, some great production and vocals by You as well, but Sabiné Heusler-Schick is a Soft breeze that turns into a Forceful wind, sweeping the ground with emotion, then carrying the leaves to the clouds.
I must now binge-listen all of Your songs. The whole World would be a more beautiful place, if everyone was exposed to Artemesia Black. Mimosa is a Major League Song, timeless and beautiful, an evergreen work of Art.
Kenny, Thanks for getting the ball rolling for Me, in term of turning Me on to Sabiné’s massive talent. I heard bits of so many of my favorite artists in these songs, But they were uniquely A.B. …..
I purchased this album on iTunes when it was first released. I listened to it continually for a good two weeks or more as I was driving ride share. Recently, I just brought it back up to give it another listen and see how I felt about these songs several months later. I truly haven’t felt this way about an album since Sarah McLachlan’s Surfacing. Each song emotes so perfectly with it’s pristine harmonies and exquisite instrumentation. Ethereal, deep and lyrically wise without an ounce of triteness. I truly love each track as it’s own journey. More so, each song threads together a beautiful collage of songs as real and present as gravity itself. This album is a true masterpiece!
There is not a bad song on ArtemesiaBlack. This is easily one of the best albums I’ve heard this year. Everything about it is perfect from the beautifully crafted songs to the haunting performances. The arrangements are spellbinding, fresh and interesting and the production is flawless. I will be listening to ArtemesiaBlack over and over again as well as introducing it to my friends. This is a great album.

Sabines voice is as ethereal as the first time I heard her and Kenny you have really developed an amazing tone that blends perfectly with Sabine!! Such a power duo for writing and songcrafting. Love the strings too.

Some songs I love when I first hear them (check). Some take time to grow on me (check). Few I’ve been able to say “I heard it live, while watching fireflies” (check). And some raise the hairs on the back of my neck while simultaneously bringing tears to my eyes. Only one has merited all of the above. Congratulations on a masterpiece.

Like a flowering symphony For tympany coated eardrums, transporting a tool, normally designed for hearing into the pleasing soothing experience of Listening…..

Sabine, you have such a pure, lovely and expressive voice. You really inhabit the songs you sing and Kenny’s voice melds seemlessly with your own. A beautiful story enacted on the the stage of song. Thank you for sharing your art, Kenny and Sabine!

Oh my goodness, Kenny & Sabine! You two have surpassed all my expectations and have produced one of the most beautiful albums I’ve heard in a long time… Seriously. Your partnership in writing songs of love and loss on “Gravity” is simply amazing. Eric and I are listening right now, so I’m holding you both in my heart. It’s so very hard for me to say which song I like the best – each one takes me on a journey of an artistic landscape. The skilled writing, instrumentation and production are just about perfect, but it’s your seductive vocals that lovingly play and roll over each other that just amaze me. You two are so incredibly talented and I wish you much success with this brilliant collection. And Sabine… your voice is as smooth as silk. WOW!”

… we absolutely heard a very similar spirit! .. we like VERY much what we heard! … personal / unique music that does not long for certain *cliches / sounds / scenes* .. but a direct output from the heart … a detail … your voice … has much of *classical* lady singers .. but does not remind on someone .. too many singers today add certain effects to the singing to *fake* feeling … your voice / music creates a *world* .. a real feeling… pictures … !!! … real .. what I call *music*!

“Thank you SO much for the beautiful tracks. Although they are quite different, the feel of both them and their effect on me is similar. There is a lovely, gentle haunting in them that echoes in me and compels me to return to them time and again. You and Kenny do indeed make beautiful music together. Bless you for sharing your gifts with us.”

The first song is a little scary. The second is funny! And the third one is epic. But kind of frightening. And really great music.
