Album Notes

Alicia Champion's second release explodes with an electrifying new power, packed with raging electric guitars, full string sections, hypnotizing vocal harmonies, with that ever so timeless, gentle folk-guitar. BOSTON GIRL GUIDE (September, 2002) Alicia Champion, Cold Wars (Champ Records) "...With an impressive first effort under her belt (Stories of My Soul), Alicia comes back with a heart rending and emotive second CD... Alicia attacks with raw power on all emotional fronts. Drums and guitar add flourish and drive these rock ballads... Every track is distinct and the recording is solid and full... She's got the technique, soul and undaunted enthusiasm..." SOUNDCHECK MAGAZINE (February, 2003) Alicia Champion, Cold Wars (Champ Records) "Champion leads quite an entourage of musicians, which include the standard four pieces, but also an eclectic collection of strings, horns and piano. I sense a mild case of Ani Difranco, not as 'snappy,' but in her strong, confident female voice. Considering Champion recorded Cold Wars in her dorm room, then upgraded to her apartment, the quality is quite impressive. There's something to be said for younger musicians/ performers. It takes confidence, guts, and talent and Champion proves to have it all"
