A little song that has been on LM for a few months, but we never introduced it in this area. We think that, in today's times, we should think more about love again. Maybe a small contrast to the otherwise dark songs usually found here. smile

Your vocal performance in this piece is truly exceptional. I believe it stands out as your finest work to date. The combination of your voice and the composition evokes the richness and clarity of the 30s and 40s. Coupled with the profound lyrics, it creates a remarkable piece. To simply say "well done" doesn't do it justice. This is undoubtedly one of the best performances I've encountered on this platform.
Thank you, Mykael, for your amazing praise! The song is from our Sister Act album, which we released last year. I'm so glad you like it. It's also wonderful that you're back here, sharing your work with us again. I truly think youre an outstanding singer!
Best regards, Manuela
Late to the party on this one but never mind. I reckon this is a song Nina Simone would liked to have sung. Your voice is outstanding on this though, seriously. And I love the combination with the background vox. Hope you're not working too hard, all the best Chris.
Thank you, Chris, especially for the comparison with Nina. But I think I cant quite compete vocally. Maybe she would have liked to sing it, I dont know. Thank you so much for your kind compliment. (The best guests always arrive late to the party *smile).
Since you asked, weve declared our Manuela album finished. We could have kept working on it for months, but at some point, its good to stop *smile. A pre-release is available on our Bandcamp profile and our websitefeel free to give it a listen. The official video for the single can be found here: https://youtu.be/tUtpuyXMPHk
Hello Maj, what a surprise, and one that makes me very happy! It's great to see you here again! Thank you for your compliment. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder *smile. Best regards, Manuela.
A little self-promotion is allowed: On March 29, 2025, the new 'Manuela Album' titled 'Lieder' will be released. The official video for the single can already be seen on our YouTube channel.
Thank you, my friend, it's great that you listened to the song! Best regards, Manuela.

Smile, I only have the one voice *smile. But I know what you mean. Angelica and I enjoy exploring different musical genres. Thats why we also experiment with my vocal expression. Love, your little one
Hello Manuela
I'd be more than delighted to try to make a song for you to sing. I really wish I'd be able to write something you will like.
Have a nice Sunday, Anthony
One thing I love about your songs apart from your rich voices is that I can feel your heart and soul in the craft. The sound is so real and it leaves me enchanted everytime. You always give your all and I believe that's what makes it special
As written, exceptionally good Manuela. I too think there's some sadness in your song but that's with love. It is one of our lights in life that can give us sorrow. I believe It is during our "training" in the true feeling. It can be a battle with our ego and that is the "dark" part. Another one is the separation. Inevitable. But there is such joy and we have to try to experience it no matter what.
I liked your expressive vocals, I always do.
My best wishes, Anthony
Hello Anthony, thank you! I have often imagined creating something with one of your songs. Perhaps something in the style of a French chanson againthat would really appeal to me. Maybe youd like that too? Lets see, once the stressful times pass and things calm down again towards late summer. Best regards, Manuela

Hello Manuella and gang - Even those of us who usually turn to the darkside need some light in our lives sometimes. Youve always provided that, at least for me. Im not so sure Id have experimented wth some of the stuff i have the last few years if it werent for your encouragement and kindness. I could never repay u for that, but u have a loyal friend and listener always in me. This was exceptionally beautiful. I could hear some acoustic guiatr as an accompanyment, leaving it mostly acapella, and it becoming devine. not that it isnt already lol. Thanks for sharing. - Aaron
Hello Aaron, dont hide your light under a bushel. smile I am deeply convinced that you are on your way. If Ive been able to help you in any way, thats wonderful. But I dont expect anything in returnI give freely. smile Thats just who I am. Besides, whats better than friendship? Thank you for your kind words. Best regards, and have a lovely weekend, Manuela
Hello Manuela.
This. This right here. This is exactly what your voice was made for.
I was expecting another of your pop style songs. But once I hit play, and heard what was awaiting, I was instantly drawn in.
I would love to breakdown the parts that really stand out to me, but that's something that would have to be done in real-time. There's no way I could do it in one comment. Just know that there are so many little subtle nuances that make this such a beautiful piece. The stylistic choices you made on certain vowels and consonants , the way you chose to draw them out, or make them harder or softer. Those examples are just barely scratching the surface.
The portamento throughout is just dripping in this. In that regard, it's very Billie Holiday. Which I absolutely love.
I don't believe this a contrast to the darker music here. Not in the sense that it's light and uplifting. While it's not aggressive, foreboding, or evil per se, in my opinion, it does have lamenting with edges of sadness. To me, it's more of a cloudy, stormy day, sitting-at-the-window-watching-it-rain kind of dark.
I know that as an a cappella it wouldn't make sense to go much longer than this, but if it were, I would not complain one bit.
Hello Aaron (V), I have read your comment many times and thought for a long while about how to respond. It's very rare for a comment to move me so deeply and even bring a tear to my eye. It's also rare to read such kind and heartfelt words inspired by one of my songs. So, I just want to say a simple thank youa thank you that comes from the bottom of my heart. Please stay the good friend you are to me! Best regards, Manuela
I hope you re-feature this at some point. The vocal is so pure - I could imagine it accompanying Bing Crosby but also popping up in a Doris Day movie - a really beautiful tone. 'We built our love on fragile dreams', what a great lyric. Kay0s
Hi Kay, hi Olli,
I'm sorry for the delayed response. We've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to reply promptly. Please don't be upset. Thank you for your kind words. We'll see if we can feature this song in the Features section. It's part of our latest album and will also be on our Christmas album.
Best regards,
Manuela
Hello Richard, thank you again for your time and kind words! Even though the song may sound simple, a lot of work went into it. You can find more of our songs on "Hello"; the link is in our profile. Just scroll down on the website. Listening is free *smile*.
Best wishes, Manuela
Ahhh Manu ... new dimension ... still too good ... lyrics, singing and the background male/female gospel chorus are on the topest top :-)
bow before you ...
Danke

Description : Remastered March 2023. Recorded live on two mics. For my wee daughter Tui; I wrote it sitting on the bathroom floor, keeping her company while she was in the bath....
Description : Again, another early production from like two years ago. I had a cheap little Yamaha acoustic guitar that I borrowed and mic'd and some congas that were given to me as a birthday present. I used my iPad GarageBand app to record the strings and the big bass drum thingy at the interlude and little electric guitar parts in there too haha. All the vocals were done by myself and my brother throws in some little things here and there with his voice :P Enjoy!
Description : A rhythm guitar track I made and sent to my cousin on the East Coast. Made with Tape-A-Talk app. from the Google Play Store. Download and collaborate with it.
Description : My very first acoustic piece in quite a while..
I hope someone grabs this and puts some vocals to it.
The software I used is Reaper, Addictive Drums and Gearbox.
Hardware is a Jackson RR3 plugged into a Line 6 Pod X3..
