Maria Vidal

Add Date: December 8

Artist: Maria Vidal

Album: Living in Radical Radiance

Label: Henhouse Studios

Genre: Electronica, pop

Comments: "Maria Vidal is a singer-songwriter-producer with a powerful voice and an enduring passion for making music. Her anticipated second solo album, Living in Radical Radiance, layers Vidal's instrumental vocals and soul-satisfying melodies into an emotional musical collage" (says Planetary).


Like me, you may be wondering how exactly vocals can be "instrumental." In fact, she has a fine voice and does use it to sing lyrics on all of the album's eight tracks. Vidal had a hit in the mid-eighties with "Body Rock" and a frequent contributor to big-name artists (Seal, Celine Dion, Kiss, and Cher to name a strange few of them). On her own record, she lends her nice voice to some relatively poppy but still mildly electronic-based tunes. Check out "What's the Matter" and "Love Hurts" for a sampling.
