Titled "Only Eden," this short music video features a song written and performed by Andrea herself, with collaboration from Connor Hutton, an accomplished film composer with a track record working alongside renowned names such as Ridley Scott and Peter Pau. The standout element of this video is undoubtedly Andrea's voice. Her unique style, delivering a cadence befitting a grand opera stage, is sure to send shivers down your spine."

"There’s just nothing quite like Andrea Plamondon going for the big hooks in this record, and whether she’s being delicate with her delivery or trying to grapple with something a little more intense and demanding on the part of a vocalist, she always has a certain swagger that you can’t teach nor practice into existence, no matter how dedicated a performer you are (or just want to be). We’re listening to an artist who has a lot of ability, and she’s organizing that ability before our very ears in a record like Songs for Forever."

"There’s a jagged edge to “Dreams” that just might cut you if you’re listening to it long enough, but if you think this is the lone example of imposing musicality to be found in the new record from Andrea Plamondon, Songs for Forever, you’re in for quite the surprise this July. Rather than streamlining tracks like this one, “Dream,” or “The Departed,” Plamondon is insistent on giving us a texturally expressive performance here, demanding our attention through so much more than words and music alone."

"Initially delicate in tone and shape, there isn’t a moment wasted in Andrea Plamondon’s mission to make a monolithic melody out of “Nella Fantasia” in the new album Songs for Forever, and despite her urgency, this complicated piece of music comes into focus all too seamlessly. The same story can be said for the other songs in the eleven-part tracklist of Songs for Forever, all of which seem to flirt with different eccentricities within the classical music lexicon so many players have grown too intimidated by to really experiment with. There’s something ancient about what Andrea Plamondon is offering here, and yet it feels as relevant as ever in this presentation."

“Only Eden” is a song that is made upon the shoulders of duality, but if there’s one key element to take away from its roughly three-minute running time, it’s the boundless talent of its singer, whose voice is angelic in every way here.

“Only Eden” is an amazing introduction to the music of Andrea Plamondon, and if it’s giving us any sort of indication as to what her artistry is all about, I think we’re going to be seeing plenty more of her content in the near future. As a vocalist, the depth of her melodicism is almost endless, and that’s illustrated quite clearly in “Only Eden.”

”Only Eden” is just a bright example of pure artistry in the Neoclassical music scene. Andrea Plamondon can be fairly considered as a highly motivated singer with advanced voice capabilities. Grab the chance to listen something unique and don’t forget to watch the clip too.”

"Andrea and Terblelos created an inspiring song that speaks about how dreams can come true. Their music ability and artistry are extraordinary and unconventional; their sound is at once clean and crisp, fun and effortless, complex and mesmerizing. The hypnotic beat and atmospheric effects intensify the music and Andrea’s vocals soar. Both writers earn the title of "artist" and their song “Dreams” reminds you that it's worth believing in yourself and your dreams in life".

"Andrea Plamondon has an incredibly strong voice which is immediately evident once you take a listen to her music. Not only is it strong, it is brilliantly sound and pitch perfect. It’s so astounding more people aren’t aware of her voice that it’s almost criminal".

 - Mars Band 

 

“The Departed” as performed by Andrea Plamondon is an example of excellence in singing, interpretation, orchestration and musicianship. Plamondon not only has a stellar voice, but she has a talent with expressive lyricism and musical nuance that fuels her performance. Shout out to Connor Hutton on a fantastic production.

"Talk about your powerhouse performer; Andrea Plamondon knows music. And although her life has been forced at times with tragedies. This has not stopped Andrea from making music that speaks to the soul..." 

- JC Internet Radio

 

"Plamondon is widely versatile with an emotional and mental recurrence to the mind. She would likely be comfortable on a punk stage, taking a bow on Broadway, performing a rock opera or singing three hail Mary’s, and this collection is proof of that. "

"This anthology style of release from Andrea Plamondon is definitely not the usual music I get in the mail to review. This release blends musical styles like  opera, experimental, new age, and even some progressive rock to create some very unique  music... "

- Indie Music Stop.

 

"I want to compare Plamondon's voice to someone' s but I'm not quite comfortable name checking Kate Bush, Grace Slick, Klaus Nomi, or Ofra Haza;  none of them exactly suggest the drama and power and compelling weirdness of Plamondon's pipes." 

- Roctober Magazine

 

"If you like the music of Kate Bush, Toyah Wilcox, or Siouxie Sioux, you'll add Andrea Plamondon to those names. Andrea is one of the underground's
