Her tracks were being considered for The Hobbit movies however they never made it to the final
production. After hearing what she has to offer I must say it is a shame they
did not follow through. Her voice is the most powerful instrument on the
recording and everything else, to coin an old phrase, serves as the cherry on
top of the ice cream. There is a gorgeous addition of a 41-piece Czech
Orchestra to her amazing voice as well. Not to take anything away from other
critical parts of this music that makes it complete, I am just amazed how clear
and stunning her vocal talents are.
“A Message From The Stars” is superb way to open the
curtain and eventually close it with a different version of the song. I like
the transitions in the track with both songs and the second version, the impactful
closer, is a heavenly melding of many voices. It will give you a greater
appreciation for the ultimate instrument, the vox humana.
Rebekah recognizes her influences and shows that in the
most prolific way with covering Led Zeppelin’s “Ramble’ On” (from Zeppelin II)
and more specifically Robert Plant’s strong influence. She does this song in
her own way and I have to say I found it quite fascinating. This one would have
been perfect for one of The Hobbit movies. Her operatic vocal style
just soars over the music and every note as if the song was written especially
for her. That pretty much says it all considering it is a cover.
“Light of Destiny’ is a very stirring track. Rebekah’s
vocals are angelic, rhythmic, and it gave me a chill, the good kind that makes
you realize you are feeling something spiritual and special. These are the
moments I cherish when listening to music.
More and more I am hearing a fantastic combination of
instruments found in new age, classical and world music. The amalgamation is spectacular
and all three genres are so closely related it sounds like everything comes to
together to form one powerful style that cannot be denied. Artists like Rebekah
Eden are leading the way, blazing a path for others to follow. Rowing in Eden is one of the better
examples I have heard of genre mergers this year, predominantly one that
included vocals.
