Editor's review
If you didn't listen closely to the lyrics, you might not notice Errico is singing children's lullabies; her softness is more the adult-contemporary sort than the kitschy type often foisted on children. In the end, "Lullabies & Wildflowers" is a grown-up soul-pop set that's simply infant-appropriate.
Biography
Those buying gifts for new or expecting mothers usually think of baby needs. But Melissa Errico's forthcoming CD 'Lullabies & Wildflowers' (Velour Music Group) will not only soothe an infant, it will also offer much-needed calm to mommy.
Errico knows from her personal experience as the mother of two-year-old Victoria that parenting is a time when stress levels are high and tranquility is hard to come by. Her collection, to be released April 29th, is proof that lullabies aren't just for little ones any more. 'Lullabies & Wildflowers' provides a well-rounded musical embrace, creating sweet dreams for baby and melting away the day's tension for mom.
Classic songs like "Mockingbird" are given gently rhythmic and evocative modern arrangements by acclaimed producer Rob Mathes. Errico's pacifying vocals will settle even the fussiest of babies, while her nostalgic renditions of songs like "Someone Who'll Watch Over Me" will inspire feelings of warmth and peace of mind in any adult listener.
Melissa Errico is a singer, Tony-nominated actress and mother who has won acclaim as one of the most versatile performers in the country in roles on stage (Les Miserables), in television (Law & Order) and on film (Frequency). She's been hailed as having "a beautiful voice... everything she sings sounds clean and pure" (The New York Times).
