If you have been searching in the Internet for a female vocalist with Chopin’s piano talent then you might have landed on Christiane Cargill’s Celtic cafe. She’s from Orange County California whose lineage are of Irish and Scottish. In Metamorphosis, she pays tribute to her heritage but at the same time added her own modern twist.

  She studied Classical music at an early age but found her first love in song writing.All of the songs in Metamorphosis are piano based. If you love the way Tori Amos tinkers with the keys, but with the haunting touch of Nightnoise , then you’d buy this album. If you love the vocals of Evanescence‘s Amy Lee (but way better) then yes! this is for you. There is a sunny side in her renderings that make you really dream of green fields.

  Check her full song ‘Green Fields of France’  featured on  Celtic Folk Podcast  hosted by Al Mann. You can also visit her official site  for news as well as tour dates. Who knows,she might be playing in your area soon.  And oh she’s in  MySpace.
