Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

A journey undertaken must be done of your own free will, it is no good doing it to please others, to find yourself in the position of making it from A to B only for someone else to take the plaudits and congratulations; the journey must be yours to take and insist upon being pure. If it is completed with grace and memory intact it is then that you can honestly say to others See Me With Your Heart, for in that personal plea comes a truth that the eyes can never witness.

Eve Selis more than opens her soul on her journey, her walk from one place to the sense of completion she attains in her album See Me With Your Heart, she flings opens the gates, with assured modesty and composure, and allows the streaming line of onlookers to take stock at what has been achieved.

It is all in the journey, people never look at that dignity in another human being’s life, they only ever see the result but it is too the journey, the road travelled, that Eve Selis must be seen to be appreciated. The challenge in bringing out an album that resonates with personal depth, of stories perhaps hidden from view until now and the sound of soul letting go of any heartbreak, the cleanest of cuts which comes from being able to share with an audience who listens.

Eve Selis is valiant, a bold and distinguished voice in the dark to which the listener cannot help but feel drawn to, feel nothing but the stirrings of love, for as a butterfly is pulled to a meadow in springtime, so too is the ear of the music lover to the surroundings of the singer at play.

With songs such as Still A Long Way To Go, While The Night Is Still Young, The Man He Never Was and Beautiful Dreamer making sure that the message of hope and understanding never wavers beyond the point of subtle attraction, Eve Selis’ See Me With Your Heart is exposed and uncovered with gentle care and thrilling attention.

A fine album which has unveiled its own canvas and it is one of sympathy and tender illumination.
