Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds

I’ve reviewed the Side Project here before and have always enjoyed their easy-going style and lovely vocals. I don’t know why it took me so long to write anything about this one.

Get Me Started is a stand out for me because of the minor notes and funky rhythm.

They do a cover of If You Could Turn Back Time which is a song I’ve never been too fond of and I can’t say I like it now either. Though it is better than the original.

I think my favorite though is Devil’s Play. It’s marchy and sexy and sultry and fun.

This is a great album by a band that is consistently putting out lovely music.

Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds

Wow, I mean…wow!! I feel like this is an album I’ve known all my life, though it’s still really fresh too.

The opening song, Harmony to My Heartbeat, just couldn’t be any more joyful and sweet, and poppy and *sigh*. I was playing it at work and someone came by my desk and asked who it was. He said, “She sounds really cheerful and happy”.

Seltmann’s voice is soft and sweet and charming and matches the style of the music perfectly. She’s Australian and I believe I read somewhere that she’s working on a project with another one of my loves, Sarah Blasko. Heaven!!

I love the fun and marchy Dream About Changing. But honestly I freaking love every song on here. Every. One.

You guys, I love this album so much. It’s seriously at the top of my favorites list for this year. Love love love. Get it. Now.

Track Listing
1. Harmony To My Heartbeat
