Bottom Line

Afonso’s breathy yet powerfully resonate voice is hauntingly beautiful. Articulate with plucking strings the textural dissonance of “Holy, My Heart,” is aching with desire and strong vocal harmonies that create a vibrant soundscape for Afonso to paint upon. With the sounds of rich acoustic guitar, that match Afonso's warm voice, "Holy, My Heart" is an outstanding pop tune. The form is solid and progresses to a satisfying climax. Her music is compelling and captivating, and crosses age boundaries for a delightful listen. That’s the short of it!
