Maven&#8217;s vocals blends nicely with the instruments and makes the tracks extra special.<\/p>\n<p>The album opens with the upbeat, acoustic folk number, <em>Strange Surprise<\/em>. The song carries a lovely melody that is simple but very soothing. It makes me think of a quiet moment in the countryside where you&#8217;re watching the leaves and branches sway quietly with the wind.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: inline; float: right; padding-left: 10px;\"><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http:\/\/fpdownload.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0\" align=\"middle\"><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" \/><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/widgets.jamendo.com\/en\/album\/?album_id=85096&amp;playertype=2008\" \/><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" \/><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#FFFFFF\" \/><\/object><a style=\"display: block; font-size: 8px !important;\" href=\"http:\/\/pro.jamendo.com\/\">Royalty-free music for professional licensing<\/a><\/div>\n<p>Another lovely track is the slightly upbeat acoustic track, <em>Lies<\/em>. The song reminds me of how Simon and Garfunkel might have sounded like if they created songs in the current digital age. It&#8217;s filled with acoustic guitars mixed with quirky samples that make the song a bit more interesting. Listening to the song is like finding a hidden gem at every corner. There&#8217;s a lovely surprise at almost each turn. Definitely a great track to relax to.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the album is a great find.
