There have been many highlights in Olivia’s career. Here’s a short summary:
“Olivia Sparnenn, who has been part of the band for many years, is now at the helm as lead singer and has really settled into the role. Her high pitch vocal performance towards the end of charging rocker Deep in Borrowdale was spectacular”
Leamington Courier“A literally stunning number and a complete showcase for Olivia's powerful vocals, just a breathtaking piece of music ”
Get Ready To Rock“the band reinvented themselves with a harder-edged sound that makes full use of power and range of Sparnenn’s voice. At festivals they can reliably steal the show from veteran headliners such as Wishbone Ash or Focus”
The Guardian“However, what we get is “Burn”, the first track with Olivia on lead vocals. It is a brightly shining star in the exquisite darkness of this album with huge melodies”
The Prog Mind“Burn is a slower affair after the previous two tracks. Olivia taking over for this one and showing her amazing soprano range”
The Spirit of Progressive Rock“This one does go to other places but Sparnenn's voice is as crystal clear as Idina Menzel's and it soars just as well”
Apocalypse Later“The energy behind this orchestration is Olivia Sparnenn's voice, which packs the one-two punch of power and vulnerability. Think of the dramatic soprano of Ann Wilson intermingled with the tenderness of (dare I say) Olivia Newton-John”
Prog Rock Music Talk“She is emotional all the way! Hats off for how she can put her soul and salvation in her voice, so convincing”
