I really enjoy this album and love Ingrid's voice!

In one word: Amazing. Ingrid's voice is powerful and unique. Listening to Ingrid makes you wish that everyone on the radio had such phenomenal talent. I absolutely love this album! It is only a matter of time before Ingrid's voice and talent are recognized on a national level.

Did you ever wonder how brilliant it would be to have all your favorite shades of music on one disc? The smoothness of classic, Motown-era pop; the grit and sex of Southern-soul; the sunshine and swaying feel of reggae; the romantic mood of Eva Cassidy-like sensual ballads – all one a single CD? Add a super-tight band backing up one of the most interesting and versatile singers on the circuit today, both technically fantastic and true to herself, and what you get is a debut album by Ingrid Gerdes, “The Eclectic Collection”. With so many female singers out there exploring nu-soul territory made famous by Joss Stone Ingrid decided to go deeper and recorded a beautiful set of original material, plus two well chosen covers, covering music styles she loves the most. The idea, as risky as it was, gave some great results. The very first notes of the album-opener, “Little Bit Of Sun”, reveal the secret – we’re here for a real treat. Passionate, strong but never over the top lead vocal

Remember on Back to the Future when Michael J. Fox is playing the guitar at the Fish Under the Sea Dance and the guy on the side calls his cousin Marv about his new sound... Well Ingrid is today's new sound. Her voice is timeless, but all of her songs are unique. They are very motivating and just plan awesome to listen to!
