Review: Lovéren, David Arkenstone & Charlee Brooks

Three-time Grammy nominated recording artist David Arkenstone has collaborated with the enchanting and magical, operatically gifted vocalist and composer Charlee Brooks to create the delightful symphonic and world music album -  Lovéren.  Based on a love story of mermaids, Lovéren is an invitation to the underwater world. The story of Lovéren is an odyssey of love, romance and passion set in the magical world of mermaids. The CD includes a beautiful 16-page booklet that includes the stunning and rich artwork that combines photography into the layout.

Brooks contributes to the album in many ways, sharing both her vocals as well as her instrumental talents.  She created an original mermaid language called Mermish, which gives the music an exoticambience and authentic, mysterious and evocative vibe.  Charlee's voice, coupled with the other-worldly language, Mermish brings rich and detailed visions to mind.  I would love to see a motion picture created about the story of Loveren, using this music ...


Loveren is an invitation, an initiation into a special world that only a few ever get to taste ... a lovely sonic epic adventure.  The music is beautiful, putting me in the mood for love.  Highly recommended!!!
