Cool and Sexy! *****

After listening to Cara-C's album Starchild, I have to say that it is delightfully infectious. Cara has a very cool and sexy sound that forefront of her style of international pop. I especially liked her rendition of "I'll Wait for You". It has a very haunting quality to it. I hope to hear more from this artist in the future.

Extraordinary High Level- STARCHILD *****

CARA-C’s music is extraordinary, it stands out, has so much feeling, so much presence, I’m speechless… This is a precious gift. I’m having a melt down here. The music works. I got goosebumps. CARA-C’s music is truly at the highest level. It’s inspired music- it’s inspirational. This music is from a higher level.

She evokes emotions of her music that seem completely surreal.
author: Janus

CARA-C has a quality of tone that is reminiscent of Bond or Vanessa Mae. If you liked them, chances are you'll appreciate CARA-C in just the same way. She is by no means just another copy of a style of music that seems underappreciated; but she tends to evoke emotions from her music that seem completely surreal. My personal favorites are Mirror, Mirror and I'll Wait for You. I'm anxious to see more of her and to watch her music evolve.


She is by no means just another copy of a style of music that seems underappreciated;

Cara-Mia ! *****

I strongly encourage everyone to buy this album !

Here's the Breakdown PEOPLE !

Gypsy Lovedust- an excellent composition with a haunting melody and a driving infectious dance beat.

Love to Love You Baby- CARA's rendition hold it's own with a perfect production that grooves, moves and breathes.

I'll Wait For You- again a showcase for CARA's virtuosity on the Violin. She crosses musical boundaries with ease, elevating this track to a classical piece. I can't help but hear a film soundtrack here ! Simply awesome sweeping gestures on the violin with an undercurrent of pure artistry and feeling !

Hara Hara Mehadeva- A successful blend of World Music with an Arabian/Eastern European flair.

Eclipse- An introspective yet upbeat track that, once again, displays CARA-C's unique ability to transcend musical genre's with ease and perfection.

Mirror, Mirror- Another of my favorite titles from the Starchild CD, set to a great groove, Mirror, Mirror features a soaring violin solo by CARA-C !

Boy Chaser- Another memorable melody here with a sweetness to it, that is somehow reminiscent of a small town fair in a time long forgotten.

Love Vamp- Love this Song !! Simply beautiful melody again and an innocence reserved forever.

La Quinta Breeze- CARA-C does it again with this breathtaking composition. If you feel down listen to this track again and again. It is a refreshing source of inspiration in this crazy mixed-up world of ours. Bravo, CARA !
I strongly urge those unfamiliar with CARA-C to buy this CD. In so doing you are supporting a great artist and our world is better place, thanks to this "STARCHILD".

A True Fan.

Rare Gem, recognition of a Grammy Award for her valuable contribution in the Music Industry.
By JazzViolinist

Recently I had a chance to review this truly rare gem.

This is fully enjoyable- innovative fusion of jazz & classical elements approach, with a smart selection of atypical instruments for this type of music genre. Maybe Maestro Stravinsky was around with a fitting advice… Or perhaps on the other end of musical menu offerings, was this combination of Beatles; groundbreaking “All you need is Love” from the mid 60s with “The Allan Parsons Project PYRAMID”…Well, none of them and all of them together…, the straight comparison would be unfair. This is a unique professional work standing alone high, filled with tonal inventions, and lasting impression on anyone, particularly on any appreciative connoisseur of high quality music…

In my opinion, the Starchild album, and particularly the Gypsy Lovedust interpretation deserve the full acknowledgement of the valuable contribution to the musical industry, and consequently the highest possible appreciation and recognition of a Grammy award!

Serendiptious meeting you
author: Richard Handwerger, MD

First impressions... CARA-C made a strong impression on me. Her violin and her music: without a doubt, is a reflection of CARA-C: a means of deep soulful expression, all aspects.,,, Girly, focused, fantasy, sensuous, passionate, with a lot of chemistry from the heart and soul. Very spiritual, expressive, ... needless to say creative. CARA-C is a direct refleciton of her work, and her persona.


Falling in love instantly!
author: Demiera Solaire

I first heard about CARA-C through MySpace and heard her music there. I fell in love instantly with "I'll Wait For You" She's so good, I bought this album the same day I saw her profile. Highly recommended!

Transcending all cultures and boundaries.

I recieved CARA-C's CD today, and I loved it!
I think her compositions are uplifting and crisp.
CARA-C's work is exquisite, just as it had been upon my first hearing it.
I've been listening to it, quite often lately.
It puts me in a positive, good mood.
I'm always thinking of her and knowing she will make it to the stratosphere of superstardom, where she truly belongs. The World could benefit from her music, as it transcends all cultures and boundaries.
CARA-C's musicianship is unparalleled, in my opinon.

 

I think the world of you
author: James Pantaleo

To begin, I enjoyed track 2 (Love To Love You Baby) just based on the
familiarity of the song but really for the new twist. To add an
electronica, (obviously violin) and disco-beat feel to this song gives
it an entire new life. For younger listeners, they may not even know
it's a cover! Well done.

Secondly, track 3 was lovely. It's classical piece correct? I just
enjoyed the vibe...made me feel I was in France hanging out in my castle
lamenting over my lost queen or something. Very melancholy but very
soothing.

Track 6 (Mirror, Mirror) was excellent in its use of a Spanish style guitar. It made the song organic.

Finally, I enjoyed La Quinta Breeze...not only for the choice of chords
and melody but because La Quinta is the next town over from me! I live in Palm Desert

 

WOW !!!
author: David Haspel

Each song was unique.

Sprinkle Gypsy Lovedust

Violin Electronica- the catchiest new genre you'll hear this year!
author: Tommy M.

Who'd have thought that the violin (as opposed to the fiddle) would marry so well with electronica to create on of the most infectuous albums of the year? I don't think science can explain it, but on CARA-C's genuinely "worldly" debut, she cooks up a handful of the catchiest dare-you-not-to-move-your-fee concoctions this side of the dance floor. This is a truly unique album, from the dynamic opener, "Gypsy Lovedust," through a remarkable cover of "Love to Love You Baby" to a batch of stunning originals including "Mirror, Mirror" and a "Vamp on the aforemention Donna Summer- Giorgio Moroder classic. The biggest suprise is not that "violin electronica" works, it's that CARA-C makes it work so well! This could easily be that start of a unique new genre and CARA-C leads the charge with this standout debut. The possibilities for her follow-up are limitless, but "Starchild" opens doors to all of them. Put on the first track and try hard not to dance. Resistance is futile! A brilliantly unique debut that deserves to be dominating clubs, radios, and stereos worldwide.


Loving this Starchild album!
author: Frank and Ginny Cusenza

We love this Starchild album. Cara-C is so creative and her classical training is reflected in her impeccable technique. This album highlights her versatility as she plays different genres. The arrangements are so expressive, serene in some pieces and fast-moving in others.

I play this Starchild album over and over, in repeat mode.
author: Dave H.

This music is from a higher level, her violin sound is captivating and stands out with so much presence. It's inspired music. This album will raise your emotional tone and open your heart. CARA-C has a cool, sexy pop violin sound and groove!

 

Cara-C is amazingly talented
Author: Kaidyn

The soft, soulful reverbs through each smooth transitional note is a lullaby anyone's ears will appreciate. Buy her tunes, you will not be disappointed.
She is a wonder to treasure both of heart and soul.

 

Haunting
Author: Nosh3

Starchild combines haunting (if I had to choose one word to describe CARA-C's music, that would be it) violin and vocals with cool electronic sounds. There's something for any mood on here, wheter you want something upbeat or something to just close your eyes and relax to. Some tracks are both. Give Starchild a listen for some anytime music.

 

STARCHILD
author: PAUL

fantastic,beautiful,just brilliant!!,Cara is another Vaness-Mae,at last we have a sensational and exciting techno acoustic fusion violinist just as good as the inventor,every track is so beautifully played with sensational rythmic electro bass backing but not to overpowering as to wash out the sound of cara's violin,this lady shows the full potential of this wonderful electric instrument the electric violin,if you love bond or Vanessa you will be in paradise with Cara and Stargirl.
