Through the poetry and imagery of her lyrics, Denise's delivery of a myriad of emotions has a way of piercing a place deep within you. Her use of beautiful melody ensures that you will keep these songs with you long after the CD player is off. She has a very, very smooth voice that invites you into each song. Do yourself a favor and BUY THIS CD to get a piece of Denise Vasquez's art before everyone else in the world WILL have it.

Denise sings with convincing passion about feelings we all have felt. Fighting Darkness is thought provoking and inspiring. Denise has serious vocal range and this CD puts it on display. At times her voice is soothing to the anxious soul's that are listening, and other times she brings a vocal intensity to the table that will make you feel her strength. I throughly enjoy Fighting Darkness and find many personal ways to relate to the messages she delivers. After purchasing this CD I was unable to turn it off until the entire thing had played through four times. I am enthusiastic about her message and I can't wait to hear her sing about it live.

A refreshingly new and dynamic talent.
author: Brian Engh - Fullerton ,CA
A showcase for a refreshingly new and dynamic talent - lyrics, vocals, and music. At times reminiscent of Jewel or Dolores O'Riordan of The Cranberries. Without a doubt, a treasure for anyone's music collection.
