Mala Waldron's latest release "Always There" is honest, straightforward, pure music. CDs like this are rare, uncommon and worthy of high distinction. In a world filled with gimmicky hook-laden pop music and predictable watered-down pseudo-jazz, Mala shatters the mold with her sincere and honest blend that clearly has been shaped by not only her vast musical influences but also her life experiences. The singer, songwriter and pianist masterfully conveys heartfelt and passionate feelings all the while sharing the soundstage with her very well accomplished musical team including Miriam Sullivan on acoustic bass, Steve Salerno on guitar and Michael `T.A.' Thompson on drums/percussion. Mala digs not only into the soulful sounds of Jazz and R&B but also into her own deep emotional mind. On this CD Mala takes the listener on a journey through the mystic waters of lies, love, loneliness and longing. "Always There" is appropriately titled, as it will have a permanent home Always There as a CD I'll play and enjoy over and over again. --Radio Cremata (Amazon customer review)
