"Sharon Lia‘s voice and the band’s potent musical backdrop create a big stadium energy reminiscent of Pat Benatar, HEART, Evanescence, and Delain, though it is abundantly clear that Sharon Lia is creating a sound of her own."

The vocals, both powerful and graceful, weave through the instrumental arrangement with a haunting elegance... Between the intense nature of the overdriven guitars, the graceful character of the piano, ambiance-inducing synth-based string textures, and powerful drum grooves, an absorbing soundscape is created, resulting in an expansive sounding track that captures the very essence of the prog and symphonic-styled rock genres brilliantly.
