This week’s premieres feature two female vocalists, one known for her powerhouse delivery and another for her more low-key pop stylings.

Sarah Kelly’s music is the stuff that defines artistry. It turns heads, lights up audiences and makes record label executives swoon. While it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is about this dynamic new talent that captivates people; her gutsy, honest vocal delivery or her deeply expressive music. There’s no question she’s poised to make her artistic mark in a very big way.

Where The Past Meets Today was produced by Mike Clink (Gun ‘N Roses, Duran Duran, I Mother Earth, Sammy Hagar, Metallica) and features Slash (Gun ‘N Roses, Velvet Revolver) as a guest guitarist. Still Breathing, About Midnight, Out Of Reach co-written by Canadian Adrian Walther (Bassist: Craig Douglas Band, Carolyn Arends, All Star United).

The release of Blue on Blue marks a significant time in Leigh Nash’s life. Starting her career as a 15 year old girl with Sixpence None The Richer, she has matured into a woman whose wispy vocals and personal lyrics convey thirteen years of life experiences. With a new addition to her family to draw inspiration from, the singer/songwriter prepares to release an album that not only shares her voice with her audience, but also her heart.

The album was produced by Pierre Marchand (Sarah McLachlan, Rufus Wainwright) and features many French Canadian studio musicians.

Both Where The Past Meets Today and Bliue On Blue are priced at $17.99 or less at participating Canadian Christian retailers. Visit HearItFirst.ca to hear audio samples these albums.
