Soul Shifter Review
Anthony Kuzminski (The Screen Door) has published a great review of Lorenza's newest CD, 'Soul Shifter':
In the music world, we often pay so much attention to those upfront and center we tend to overlook the talents standing in the shadows that help bring the artist’s vision to life. While they may not receive due consideration, they are fundamental to the artists career.Read the entire review here.
Lorenza Ponce is one of these unheralded artists. You’ve seen her on tour with Sheryl Crow and Bon Jovi along with dozens of television broadcasts with everyone from Pearl Jam to Michael Buble to John Mayer. She’s also an in-demand session musician who has worked on recent albums by Fall Out Boy and has worked with such illustrious producers such as Tony Visconti (T.Rex & David Bowie). Her resume can’t even be called extraordinary, it stretches beyond mere words. She can now add significant solo artist to the ever growing resume.
Soul Shifter, her fourth solo record, but her first to embrace the foundation of rock n’ roll is a stunning album that defines her as more than “the girl with the violin”. On Soul Shifter Ponce has taken an excursion from her new age experience to embrace the underbelly of rock n’ roll. While it isn’t a guitar heavy affair, it still holds enough bite to make you stand back and take notice. At the forefront of the easy-on-the-ear recordings are piercing and outspoken lyrics.
Delving deep into her psyche and heart are commentaries on artists who have lost the plot, sensuality and the search for faith and meaning in a world that defies logic. Imagine Alanis Morissette in a jazz club with a hushed sultry voice, an enticing violin utilized like a Les Paul that tempts the soul and you have Lorenza Ponce.
Soul Shifter can be purchased on Lorenza's website or on Amazon.
