To say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this CD would be an understatement! From the very first crazy-cool, snappy track, “Blessed Be”, you realize this is Sue Riley as you’ve never heard her before. The second track, “Dandelion Dreams”, is officially one of my all time favorite Posi songs. Super-hip & Beatle-esque, Sue & Glen Roethel absolutely shine. “I Am Love” & “May You See God” are strikingly beautiful in their simplicity and grace, this being one of Sue’s unique and distinct gifts as an artist. “My Every Notion” is totally hot and reminiscent of Annie Lennox/Eurythmics. I could go through each of the 13 tracks and sing their praises, but I encourage all of you to go to http://www.empowerma.com/i-choose-love-cd-sue-riley to purchase this work of heart and discover the magic on your own. Such a diverse array of styles, energy and musicality; I just smile at every track, thinking “YES!”
Sue has co-written with some of Posi music’s most mega-talented superstars, including the aforementioned ethereal & awesome Glen Roethel (who appears more than once, can I get an “Amen”!), Faith Rivera, Jana Stanfield, Karen Taylor Good, Nathen Aswell & Penny Nichols just to name a few. Daniel Nahmod has done a STELLAR job sharing his talents as engineer, instrumentalist, vocal arranger & producer. It’s a thrill to see and hear Sue totally & completely blossom on this new compilation. She has officially not just upped HER game, but upped the game for all of us. We of the Posi tribe are intuitively supportive and loving when it comes to honoring each other, yet this triumph goes beyond intuitive niceties. This is simply a phenomenal collection of work, period!
