'The Hearts Cry' is a hauntingly beautiful album by Deborah Henriksson, a Swedish woman who has a voice like no other and an ability to provide a heaven within her music.

The eleven track album is a wonderful mixture of contemporary folk, with a strong Celtic influence giving each track its own individual enchanting mystery. With the poetic lyricism Deborah explores the captivating truth of life, and its beauty.

This sensational album features nothing more than an articulate understanding of reality, within each song Deborah creates a sense of ease and romance. There is no doubt that Deborah Henriksson has the voice of an angel. She is an inspiration of which her talents are well presented and should be appreciated worldwide.

Snow particularly being an enjoyable song featured on the album. Its main beauty lies within the harp which accompanies Deborah's wonderful voice. Creating a sensational image of an empty valley, Deborah takes listeners to the safe and happy place within all of us. Equally as beautiful is her cover of 'Harry's Game', the contrast between both songs mentioned is fascinating, Harry's Game has a dark atmosphere, representing fear and loss.

Potentially what makes this album so memorable is the way Deborah Henriksson takes a commercial theme such as love and manipulates it into something beautiful and untangible.

Produced by Mats Norman and released by DHP records, 'The Hearts Cry' is a masterpiece, which stands out for its deep meaning and representation of hope within all walks of life
