Respected Reviewer Michael Debbage of Mainly Piano Publications

Top 20 CD's of 2008:

In a year of economic hardship and financial struggles, we were blessed with an abundance of inspiring instrumental music that was one of the best in many years. While the music industry continues to scratch its head with how to deal with declining sales, the artists of the instrumental genre continue to create music of integrity and inspiration without the many benefits that mainstream artists have available to them. And for that I salute you and personally thank you for keeping me in the eye of the economic storms where there is still peace and tranquility.

Seay, A Winter Blessing (2008)
Tuscan Sun
 31:35


"Blessing" is a word of encouragement or approval that usually also has a spiritual connotation to it. With an emphasis on winter and all things associated with Christmas, Seay embraces the essence of the season on both a commercial and spiritual level with her gorgeous choir of voices and multi layered keyboards. The tender yet compelling beauty of this magical recording is only further evidence that it will be "when" not "if" Seay becomes a household name.

As the world faces significant economic worries and a rather bleak future, Seay counters our fears by bringing her message of hope, love, peace and joy courtesy of the ever optimistic composition "All Around The World." The song encapsulates the spirit found on "We Are The World" and "Do They Know It's Christmas?" resulting in a song that will elevate and lift your spirits high. Despite the lofty expectations set by the stellar opening song, the enchantment continues courtesy of "A Christmas Heart" as Seay displays her soft yet soulful side that brings to mind Annie Lennox. If it is a solo performance that you prefer skip forward to the more traditional rendition of "In The Bleak Midwinter."

In complete contrast, Seay also focuses on her gifted ability to create vocal instrumental masterpieces by transforming her expressive vocals into a sea of a Seay choir creating breathtaking, beautiful harmonies that are simply mesmerizing. "Winterlight" has a more buoyant approach matched by Seay's rendition of "Carol Of The Bells," renamed "Carol The Bells." The more reflective moments can be found on "Snowfall" and the mystical "Whispering Pines" that certainly draws inspiration from Enya.

The production is once again meticulous in detail, embellished by soft guitars, fretless bass, keyboards, strings and percussion. Originally released in November of 2007, A Winter Blessing did not take full advantage of the season, thus the reason for it being re-released this year in a more timely fashion. Largely self-composed material that embraces the season of Christmas, A Winter Blessing is accessible enough to be generous all year around. Enjoy the gift of "a winter blessing" by embracing the latest offering from the truly gifted artist Seay.

A song from my catalogue written with Geoff Stradling about recapturing our innocence, back when I began writing in an inspirational style of music. I came to Nashville after seeing Michael W. Smith sing "A Place In This World". I thought, Wow.. this is it a universal message of hope, of light, of peace.. I have several songs in my catalogue that reflect some universal truths in life and those songs only come to me after I undergo a test, a lesson and experience some universal truth about myself  before I can write or even communicate about it.

Though I don't  read scripture as often as I as I should, one of my most favorite passages from the Bible Matthew Chapter 5-  from the Sermon on the Mount "The Beatitudes" that says:  Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

For me that truest presence of the holy & divine connection is in the innocence of ourselves and those places that bring us joy- walking through the rain at night, making a snow angel, feeling the wind on your face and the sand beneath your toes, building a sand castle... being a light for someone else in times of need  and ultimately to live once's life with grace, hope, laughter and  the peace that passeth all understanding.

May we all rediscover the innocent spark within ourselves so that the children of today may have a brighter and more peaceful future.

    
 THE EIGHT BEATITUDES OF JESUS

    "Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

    Blessed are they who mourn,
    for they shall be comforted.

    Blessed are the meek,
    for they shall inherit the earth.

    Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they shall be satisfied.

    Blessed are the merciful,
    for they shall obtain mercy.

    Blessed are the pure of heart,
    for they shall see God.

    Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they shall be called children of God.

    Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

    Gospel of St. Matthew 5:3-10
