Tenley Westbrook / CD review “ I Believe”
In
her 2008 debut release of I believe, Tenley has captured the very
essence of love, hope and faith. Her musical talent, love for others
and positive outlook on life shines through on the title track “I
Believe”, “It’s All About Love” and Inside Your Arms. Tenley has even
captured her love for children in “Every Child” Her optimistic outlook
on a cover version of “I Can See Clearly Now” added with an original
twist of “Song In My Heart” is a stunning picture of her true self.
Tenley along with co-writer and producer John Paul have mixed a
masterful eleven song masterpiece with capturing melodies, strong
harmonies, beautiful piano standing as the back bone and a variety of
guitar sounds with a unique and extremely talented playing style are
simply fantastic! Hearing Tenley perform her music and listening to her
tell her story of how her faith in God, has carried her through many
trials in life was a mind blowing experience for me personally. Her
personal testimony along with her dynamic speaking and singing
abilities will change the way you look at the trials and tribulations
we all face in our own life’s. Once you hear her story and her song,
your life will be changed. You will choose to look upward and not down
when those life trials fall upon you.
Mike Alfaro / Worship Team Leader
Tenley Westbrook's album, “I Believe”, is a great work of art with an even greater message. Her work with her producer, John Paul, makes for a great duo team on her project. Her vocals and harmonies lock in tight like a hand in glove. The thing I love about her raspy alto sound is that not only is her chest voice impressively high, but her voice soars, groans, and bends with the soul of a saxophone player. Her style, control, beauty of sound, and great vibrato puts you in the mind of a mixture of greats like Celine, Bette, Eva Cassidy, and Babs. Her first track, “The Only Way”, is a great example of the qualities listed above and the chorus of that song has that catchy hook that some of your most favorite and most memorable songs have. Make sure to pick up her album. She'll certainly win you over with her voice and message!
