Fiona Joy Hawkins and Rebecca Daniel’s “Heavenly Voices” is one of those rare albums where everything is just right – from the compositions and performances to the high-end recording and the album’s timing. It is so flawless and well-executed that when we hear Hawkins and Daniel’s voices after five instrumental pieces, heaven seems near. Indeed, the album is, in a classical sense, an elegy and symbol of light’s victory over darkness.

Australian Pianist Fiona Joy Hawkins debuted with “Portrait of a Waterfall” in 2006. She is known for “Grace”, her song on a Grammy Winning album in 2014, and her extensive catalog produced by Will Ackerman. Hawkins is also a member of the Contemporary instrumental group FLOW. Living in a small village of 830 people in NSW Australia, she has toured and played worldwide. Her two most recent albums are the deluxe version of “Christmas Joy” (2020) and “Moving Through Worlds” (2020).
