Greetings! Today is the Summer Solstice, thus the official start to the Summer of ’25! I thought it a perfect time to reach out and let you know how things are going with my new album “Still”. Response has been absolutely wonderful and I thank all the fans for their lovely comments on social media as well as many e-mails I have received thanking me for my music! That always means so much to me. Reviews have been superlative (you can check out a few right here) and this one is a lovely example:
“Still arrives twenty-eight years after her debut album Prism and finds her doing anything but, well, standing still. At seventeen albums (and counting), her healing music continues to enrapture listeners, while Sweeten herself inspires with her positive outlook and indomitable spirit.”
Ron Schepper – Textura
In this rather chaotic and unpredictable world we are living in, I hope that you will find comfort and escape in my music and particularly “Still”. I promise you that it will calm your thoughts and soothe your soul if you just surround yourself with the music, find a quiet spot, and maybe a glass of wine. 😊
As you may know, my music is available on all the streaming platforms, Amazon, Apple Music, Bandcamp and of course my website: Annsweeten.com. An album purchase is the best way to support the creation of new music, and I’ve printed a limited number of CDs. These give you access to the music at any time, plus the beautiful liner notes with poetry and nature pictures always give great insight into what lies behind my music.
The warm days are beginning to arrive, the flowers are showing their colorful faces, the birdsong is all encompassing. All are there as balm to the barbs of the world, if you know how to listen and truly surround yourself with nature’s gifts…in the Still.
Best wishes,
Ann Sweeten
