Album Notes

Fans are spreading the word about 'Sail.'

This is cool angst from a superb artist! Spare and evocative Everything works well: the off-beat and catchy arrangements; the spare unpretentious vocals; the lyrics straight-forward and evocative. It's atmospheric cool though there's heartbreak in the songs' words. I have this CD on repeat in my player. I just love listening to it!
- Vince S., SF

a deeply personal album, enigmatic, A COURAGEOUS DEBUT! My personal favorites are 1) FREEDOM and 2) BACK (for their beautiful lyrics and 3) SIT BY ME for its lilting melody.
-Sonya Marietta, NYC

Just finished listening to the CD, on headphones, for the third time through. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. The voice, of course, is perfect as always! My faves are: Freedom, Cold Cold Heart and Happiness is Real (this one can heal the broken heart). Sail is really something special.
-Claudette Powell, Los Angeles

In New York City, Leila Florentino went to an open call audition for the Broadway musical Miss Saigon hoping to land a part as a chorus girl. She was offered to play the lead role.

Now Leila's pursuing a solo career as a singer-songwriter - trading the glitz for a more personal music vision.

Captivating music. An exceptional, near and emotive voice. Leila has turned into my favorite companion for the long trips by car.
