I have fond memories of the opening track to this new EP by Keys to Secret Door, it being gifted as a single earlier on last year, as indeed are the many of the other creations upon this release, but the lyrics to that song are something I have embraced recently, and the results from our endeavours were certainly created by being the change we wanted to be and see. The song itself is a classic slice of inspiration that reminds one that we have many choices, so Be the Change and take a chance.

The next composition on this new and fresh compilation of compositions is 1.4.3, another single from last year, a curious title, but a presentation that carries a reflective theme on piano and a song that poses questions, that one can perhaps answer with a little introspection.

The lively refrains of L'ombre et la lumière is upon us next, and I do speak a little French so I think means Light and Shadow for those predominantly English speakers. This is a powerful song that swings along with a passionate piano performance, and perhaps postulates a thought about the constant flux between dark and light, bathed with a little nostalgia.

The penultimate track is entitled Pour Toi (For You) here is in my view one of the most powerful pieces from the release, yet there are several tender touches on the piano, in among the more passion filled moments, and is certainly a song sung well and, perhaps for you!

We conclude the album with the title track called Keys to Secret Door, which in my view is one of the best titles for a piece of music I have heard for some time, and is a more authoritative version of the opening composition and in instrumental mode as well, which brings to a close this commanding project called Keys to Secret Door by Astrid M & Piano Lilium, and in bringing this ep to fruition, have manifested one amazing release filled with both expression and passion to a global audience.
