Artist description Sensuous female alto (with 4 octave range) melded with organic acoustic instrumentationKnown previously as "Glenda O", Glenda's stage persona has been modified to hergiven name, "Glenda Rae". This reflects the commitment to her original music, currently but not exclusively co-composedwith Miles Black. In the Vancouver area, the name "Glenda O" became synonymous with high qualitycover presentations....the imminent release of Glenda's first album (due out in September 2000)necessitated this change.

Press Reviews “...powerful blues inflected approach...sweet and soaring upper register…”Alex Browne, The Peace Arch News White Rock BC "Glenda Rae has, quite simply, one of the best pure voices I’ve heard here, reminiscent of Annie Lennox in versatility, power and phrasing. Big Ideas, Small Minds is my favorite of her tracks, marrying that robust voice to a tale of ambition quite akin to Peter Gabriel’s Big Time, sans the smirk. The challenge for Ms. Rae will be to not let her eclecticism get the better of her: her songs bound from Big Sky country to jazz to gospel, which will delight fans but confound radio programmers. In the meantime, I highly recommend this material both for Glenda Rae’s magnificent pipes and for the tasteful musicianship so ably supporting them. A high-class effort all around."
