"Jala" means water; appropriately, it lives up to its name by providing a smooth, tranquil flow that will set your body in a state of total rejuvenation. The true essence of serenity will be yours alone to experience and enjoy. Each song captures the listener’s ears and takes them to a safe and restful place. Every tune is like experiencing your own personal spiritual cleansing. You can almost feel the warmth penetrate deep throughout your inner being. Throughout this CD the sounds take shape, and richness overflows in abundance throughout your entire body.

The artist, Shiver Rea, has down a magnificent job in bringing together some of the most talented composers in the world. Each rhythm speaks its own language and takes the listeners on a far-off journey that provides an unlimited amount of musical pleasure. Jala is a re-energizing experience to be tried, savored, and lived. I’m fully convinced that once you invite these songs into your life, you will immediately feel the difference each one makes.

It is with great thanks that I give to each one of the artists that played a part in this wonderful creation. This CD is attributed to have provided the energizing motivation to help the writer of this book review, stay focused, and be able to complete her college thesis.
