Susan Raven, singer and songwriter, is a songsmith, a 21st-century troubadour. Her critically-acclaimed album, Glittering Cities, is a cinematic journey from start to finish, an emotion-fired collection of majestic songcraft with strong vocal performances that fall somewhere between Sinead O'Connor and the Cranberries. Ethereal instrumentation and inspired performances from, among others, members of the Peter Gabriel and Salif Keita bands, perfectly establish the sonic aura around her thought-provoking lyrics. The arrangements soar, ranging from multi-layered synth programs over dance grooves through to a pure acoustic and orchestral approach. The album's lyrics reflect the artist's interest in all things mystical and esoteric deriving from the traditions of both East and West.
Susan has completed recording a brand new album, released

Glittering Cities - Susan Raven. A great album.
author: SpeedY
The production of this album is superb. The quality is up there with some of the best artists on the market.
All of the songs on this album are great. Some are incredibly great.
I used to have a problem with Saturn but as she was quite correct, it grows on you. I think it is because the beginning lyrics don't quiet tie in perfectly with the fading in music. Maybe it's just me and my perfectionist attitude.
Personally I still don't like “I think of you” since there is one small part of backing vocals in the chorus that doesn't appeal to me. The bass at the start is not melodic enough for me either but that is just my perfectionist attitude again.
I feel that with the right breaks, her music could become very big. I hardly ever recommend anything because nothing can come up to my perfectionist standards, but I would recommend this to anyone who likes uplifting beautiful music. If you're remotely interested, get it.

Is Susan Raven still performing/recording ? Masterful work
author: Raven fan
It is hard to imagine that Susan Raven would not have become a big hit in the US had her work got air time or some live performances there. I think particularly of all the Mind/Body Expo's going on nationwide and then there's Earth Day.
It's been a few years since this album came out . Amazing music. Great lyrics, great arrangements, great recording quality. Even if one doesn't like this genre, you have to admire the quality of the musician ship.
Susan come back and record some more ! and please come tour the US.
