This is a collection of songs by Southern California vocal siren Nijole (pronounced Neola) Sparkis, who writes dreamy, inspirational World Pop music. Nijole’s vocals are hypnotic and her songwriting solid, but what sets her atmospheric sound apart from the crowd is her choice of exotic, richly textured World music instruments and Lithuanian choral background vocals. Nijole’s appeal for fans extends to everything from the lavish Pop of Kate Bush and Loreena McKennitt, to the harmony-laden Enya and the Eurocentric Dead Can Dance.
