“Beginnings By Barbara Graff Written By Steve Sheppard I have had many fascinating and unique albums land on my desk this year, it seems that artists are seeking to find uniqueness about their style and songs like never before, and I for one support that. I must say that Barbara Graff has brought something to my musical table that is incredibly unique, fun and listenable and I believe you will enjoy this as well. It’s time to be open and prepare for something more, let’s start with what is a classic 21st century pop song, one that contains superb vocals from singer Diane Chittester and is multi-instrumental in its overall nature, this would make an absolutely fantastic single, it is of course it is the proud opener, the title track Beginnings. This is Graff’s fourth album and this release has just about something for everyone, like the moving new age styled composition Inspiration, one of my personal favourites. The symphonic grandeur of Bring Me a Rainbow is a simple delight to bathe in as well, and the guitar joins the mix on the piece Blue Sky.  There is a real Midwestern slide guitar feel to the track By My Side that is quite charming and captivating, while a lively percussive beat raises the energies on the most powerful arrangement on the album entitled On My Own, a track that could with ease be used in a TV show. This is one of those albums that you just can’t stop listening to, there is a huge desire to know what comes next and in what style, even the solo piano lovers are catered for with the track Magic Within and the moving and deeply emotive Dancing Shadows, another personal favourite of mine. Two more renditions of the opening song end the album, with piano and pop versions of the title track Beginnings on offer to bring the release to a lively conclusion.  Beginnings by Barbara Graff is on the card for the most unique album of 2018 with ease, but apart from that, this is an album that really has to be listened to in depth with an open heart and mind, because what is contained within will entertain, enlighten, soothe, all in a thoughtful and positive energy, and will be guaranteed to leave you with a smile on your face and a warm sense happiness in your heart.” - Steve Sheppard

“Secret Beach- Piano solo by Barbara Graff, review by Steve Sheppard of One World Music Radio: I was first attracted to this single by the art work contained within, I once dreamed of a place very similar to it and it captivated me, as did the music. Secret Beach is a fine example of explorative solo piano work, one that creates a narrative as it runs with the tide of the overall piece. This gentle but adventurous performance is addictive to listen to and creates a really peaceful vibe to delve into, one that perfectly draws us, the ever eager listener, down the footpath and onto the secret beech with a skilful ease of hand, and a delightful light-heartedness of spirit, one to recommend without doubt. ” - Steve Sheppard
