Album Notes

Zanthii Blue is Adelaide Soccio (vocals) and Rick Alexander (guitar and vocals).

Performing together since 2004 - their music has been described as calming and refreshing and Adelaide's voice as "angelic".

Comprising fourteen songs and instrumentals written by Rick, with Chris Alexander (It's Never Too Late) and with Jarek Czechowicz (You and Me), These Places envelops you with its warm tone.

Zanthii Blue's style is to keep things clean and uncluttered but yet melodic and with a wistfullness to the lyrics. The lyrics express Rick's thoughts about the ups and downs of life, the places and people that are special to us and where our lives are going. Adelaide's crystalline and heartfelt vocals bring the lyrics to life.

Jarek Czechowicz, Brian Fisher, Mary Knights-Rutten and Dennis Mills help with additional instruments on "You and Me", "A Simple Pleasure", "No one Has Seen Her" and "Life".

Rick released a CD of solo instrumental guitar "Innocent Dreams" in 1999.
