In 2022 I remember being entranced and following the Path of the Sandpiper, and the next year my thoughts were sailing towards a sunset, it has always thrilled me when Suzanne Herman offers up a release for review, as in my view she is one of very few pianist who have that blissful ability to paint portraits of locations with her music, and today she is back at it, and has produced another beautify of a composition called Where Oceans Meet.

Those deep and meaningful tones of the artist’s piano on this piece are so sublime and deeply moving, one could literally be there with the artist, she has that ability to draw one in as she plays, and her presentations are always graphic, textured and colourful.

I see many locations here on my island that inspire me to create music about them, it’s not easy, but Suzanne has that magic about her constructions, she strokes emotions from the keys and plays with her heart on her sleeve, and whilst doing so that tapestry that she manifests literally comes alive with every passing measure.

Where Oceans Meet by Suzanne Herman has a delightfully soothing melody; it has a gentleness of composition that is deeply palpable and attractive, and the very tone of her coda signifies a delicious conclusion to a superb new single. This is one piece I personally hope does really well in the charts, it’s remarkably delectable reflective mood, makes this for me one of the best solo piano compositions I have heard this year, thus good things should be on the horizon for Where Oceans Meet by Suzanne Herman.
