Skybell not only sings but writes, as she composed eight out of the eleven songs here, and her lyrics show a lot of strength and maturity. In other words, she could easily be someone out there offering her songs to the world, but through her voice and piano work you get a much more direct feel for what she’s trying to say and accomplish. Highlights include “Let’s Get Away”, “The Stars In Your Eyes”, “Dreamflight”, and she dips into the standards with a rendition of “I’m Just A Lucky So And So”, for fans of Ellingtonia. The production on this is quite nice too.”
