You've Got To Dance Like Nobody's Watching,

Or If I Have My Head In The Results, I Can't Work With What I Have, Because I'm Trying To Force Something To Happen. And With Singing, Any Time You Force It, You Tighten Up. If You Tighten Up, You're Screwed, Nothing Will Work.

There Is A String Attached To Maia Sharp's Voice. And When She Sings, You Find That The Other End Is Attached To Your Gut. Her Voice Is Lush And Sensual And The Emotions She Articulates Resonate With The Small Feelings We Have That Sometimes Are Hard To Face..there Is An Edge To Her Songs, But Also A Softness...she Is Lyrical And Conversational At The Same Time. Her Cd Was The Only One In My Machine For A Month. Her Work Inspires Me To Dig Deeper.

You Have To Listen To What Resonates Within Your Own Gut. You Find Your Direction There. Your Voice Comes Out.

And In Fact, I Think The More We Start To Worship Perfection The More Soul Leaks Out Of Art.

You Know, Your Speaking Voice Comes Back, But Your Singing Voice You Use In A Different Way.
