Susan Raven
 Location: BwlchyGarreg, Powys, Wales, UK

A BRAND NEW SUSAN RAVEN ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN MARCH 2007!!

...is a powerful performer and a skilled songsmith, a 21st Century troubadour with a rich and haunting voice. Her debut album, Glittering Cities, is a collection of beautiful songs, a cinematic journey from start to finish, an emotion-fired collection of majestic songcraft with strong vocal performances that fall somewhere between Sinead O'Connor and the Cranberries.Each song is recorded with a finely crafted backing track that sonically enhances the impulse behind the lyric. Susan's art as a songwriter, coupled with her fine vocal abilities and the vision and musicianship of the players make this truly global album essential listening for all.

Susan Raven, singer and songwriter: "I write all my songs on a vintage Martin 12-string guitar. It is an entire band in one instrument, the harmonics and drones that spin out from the strumming suggest many of the overdubs that follow. I take a song and hone it until the base-metal turns to gold. I write lyrics to trigger emotions, memories and inspiration in people and as my craft has matured, so a strong individual sound has emerged. My music has been variously described as Cosmic World Fusion, Space Rock and Ethno-Pop. To be a singer songwriter is a demanding but joyful gift. When you hear my music I hope you feel that joy too..."

"Glittering Cities" 4-star review at AllMusicGuide.com

...debut album, Glittering Cities, is transcendent. Though the spiritual theme of the music may not appeal to everyone's taste, the excellence of production and exquisite melding of the instrumentals and vocals will. Raven's voice is gorgeous, and her original compositions are moving and insightful. All cuts are technically excellent....
