A very good voice! A few falters here and there separate her from "Enya" or "Sarah McLaughlan" realm, but as a professional singer in a studio (for doing multiple takes and microfixes of minor falters), she'd be awesome.
She's at her strongest at 1:55 onward, but it's also at its most 'effected' at that point in time. The effects sound good, though, so I'm not saying they should've been backed off, just commenting that the two seem to coincide.
Good new-agey track in general, though.

this is pretty nice. not exactly my style of music...but nice and relaxing. I think it could use a good real drumset drumtrack at the end, although as i am not very familiar with this style, maybe not. Overall, nice work!

I must truthfully say that in your previous track featuring Avera 'Lost in a Shadow' to be representing her voice way better. For some reason, and for the life of me I can't really grasp why, the music feels disjointed with the vocals here. They seem to not aid or push eachother as the other track did.
but yes, there is true potential in her voice or at least that is what I think

Beautiful track, great voice. I would have liked to hear the music better - the vocals do dominate a bit too much for my liking. I'd also have liked a bit more of a buildup of the music, but I guess that would take away the sweeping, epic feeling of the track. Still, some accents would be nice.
Overall, wonderful!

i like new age music and have a fair colection of cds so heres my opinion. for new age her voice works but needs work. i think lunch money said it best.
i also agree with mystahr about the music feeling disjointed with the vocals but you got a singer for your tracks and thats awsome in itself

Her voice is good, just like last time. 
Yes, I heard the Enya similarity through the first half; the doubled vocal and FX, plus her voice. As for the disjointed feeling some of the others are mentioning, I'd say it has to do with the percussion, especially the bass percussion -- because it thumps, which doesn't really match this style, and it's out front enough that it's almost a lead instrument when she isn't singing -- sounds like giant water drops in my left ear going, "Blop! Blurp! Blop!." I'd pull it way back or out altogether and maybe try a bowed cello or deep pad down there, although the result may sound exactly like Enya, which you might be trying to avoid. I might bring the chopped/sequenced synth a little more foward, also. And yes, there's a ton of verb on her. Who cares. Sounds good.
Well done melody and arrangement. Liked the breaks and crescendos. This is good music; I'd just mess with the mix and maybe the bass patches a bit.

I was pleasantly surprised by the music.
And her voice sounds very versatile - for example,
when she sings high she could easily suit dance
music (her voice is warm, strong and gutsy yet very
musical, in my opinion).
I'm suprised that no-one mentioned that the harmony
vocal is out of sync with the main vocal.
You could fix this just by shifting the backing
vocal forward in time.
Love the quality of those drums - what are they?
Also like the quality and warmth of the music and
instruments in general - especially that broken up
synth sound - what's that?
