Great songwriting, Great instrumentation, Great production
author: Don Cooper
Stop Right now!! Do yourself a favor and hit the repeat button now. One listen just isn't enough. Let it play through a few times. Gives me the feeling of walking out in the rain, smiling, and seeing the sun break through right in front of you. One of those perfect moments. Kudos Mr. Zender. Great songwriting, Great instrumentation, Great production. Wonderfully sublime backing vocals throughout. Tommi handles all the instuments with an apparent ease and grace.....(is that a hint of Keith Moon on The World Already Knows !?)..and have you noticed how Tommi sounds just like Tommi Zender!

Excellent singer-songwriter pop. Solid playing and singing, confessional lyrics, smart arrangements, thick orchestration, no stone unturned.

great stuff! Tommi's talent shines here
author: Curfewless
It was a lucky coincidence that lead to me stumbling upon Tommi's music... and I thank my lucky stars that it happened! I got my copy of WWFH a few weeks ago and it has quickly become one of my favorite albums purchased this year. The variety of songs and the extent to which each is crafted with love and heaps of talent is a thing of beauty. Highlights for me: The World Already Knows, and Madeleine (love that groove!). Now if only Tommi would tour down to Texas!
