SENA : NATURAL HIGH
Sena is a singer, songwriter and spoken word artist. Sena is currently based out of Brooklyn, New York but she was born and raised in Europe and has had the opportunity to live in a number of colorful locations. Her music is a magical blend of these diverse influences of multiple genres, people and places. Sena writes vivid, poetic lyrics and her singing is soulful, sensual and inspired. A group of talented players provide keys, programming, percussion, violin, sitar and guitars to Sena's debut CD. This nine-track collection covers a gamut of styles from funky reggae to smooth jazz with a touch of pop for good measure. Sena is a vibrant performer and her compositions have exotic, world tones. The CD opens strong with 'WYSISYG - What You See Is What You Get'. It has catchy, complex rhythms layered over Sena's sexy, thick vocals combined with innovative programming and textures. It is followed by 'Love Won't Go Away' another song featuring creative, multifaceted beats melding with spirited keyboards and topped with Sena's silky singing. 'Keep on Moving' is also captivating with the addition of funky violin and guitar accents. Although I favored the first three songs of Natural High the whole CD has plenty to offer with intelligent lyrics, dynamic rhythms, powerful vocals and first-rate instrumentation!
