BE AS IT WILL... REVIEWS

RELIX: One of the most promising female artists I have heard in many a year. Her latest disc "Be as it Will" truly deserves a major audience...you won't be disappointed.

*************************************

AQUARIAN ARTS WEEKLY: "With a hue of Joni Mitchell BLUE and a free-fall caterwaul closer to Sinead, the multitalented Regine weaves, strums and soars with thrilling skill on BE AS IT WILL"

*************************************

PERFORMING SONGWRITER: Deliciously skewed...sometimes densley textured, and other times rendered with a spartan touch...Boasting ambitious-acoustic-based arrangements often overlain with droning guitars or cello, this homespun collection is roots music with a modern twist

*************************************

MUSIC CONNECTION: Moody, soulful, and introspective...

*************************************

MINOR 7TH: Regine has a bluesy cool as ice delivery that occasionally carries a tinge of gravel like Rickie Lee or Kim Carnes. Regine uses an open-string acoustic sound to add a hypnotic drone like vibe to her uniqie brand of rock...ethereal, yet driving in the spirit of U2. Very cool.

***************************************

NY ROCK: When I first threw on this cd I was in a foul mood, but by the time the music ended, I was at peace with the world...The 12 songs here balance between acoustic and electric with never too much of either. Nor is Regine a slouch on guitar, her finger picking is strong and on "Thru the dust" she lets a hint of the Delta shine with some slide work. This isn't the kind of disc that grabs you by the throat, but rather sinks in deeply with repeated play. Think of sitting around on a summer night with a light breeze, a drink in your hand, no worries and you'll get the idea.
