With the globe in chaos, one thing we need on Earth now more than ever is a new fresh start, a better way of looking at our directions and choices, this can be assisted by wondrous works of musical art, such as this new album by Jacquelyn G. Kleine entitled Music For A New Paradigm, this shift in a new awareness has been manifested in tone and timbre perfectly by the artist on her latest album, and it is this voyage we must traverse today.

Music for a New Paradigm is a sublime 8 track work of electric flute and fluent keyboard work in the new age style, the powerful opening foray is a great place to start, the grand scheme of all matters begins with Otherworld, a driving opus of an alternate reality, at this point I would recommend pulling the art work up for this album and gazing at it whilst listening to the release, it is some of the best album art I have seen in recent years.

Offerings like The Golden Light gifts us an opportunity to bathe is all the possibilities of a potential new direction, and perhaps cast a glance across the horizon of a new tomorrow, the slow build and gentle progression here by the artist is some of the most ambient work from her yet.

Tracks like Snowfall give us a hand drum resonance of great quality, whilst the lush tonal delights of The Quest take us on a Middle Eastern journey of sorts and transport us to the very heart of that location; this is a most haunting reverie indeed, and Kleine’s Terry Oldfield like flute drifts across the shimmering sands of musical time.

Novae is one of the longest offerings from the album and very much one that has a sense of movement and progression within its construction, whilst the stunning arrangement of Aurora takes the award for longest track off the album at well over 7 minutes in duration, but is a piece that floats and hovers with a soothing intent, and its narrative is so calming and deeply soothing.

The penultimate creation is the very crafted and charming flute manifestation entitled Magnificent Gaia and indeed she is, whilst the glistening tones of the concluding track Diamonds completes our blissful journey, the keyboard work here is deeply transcendent, and is a composition that manifests a sense of well-being too, and as such is the perfect end of a truly great album.

Music for a New Paradigm by Jacquelyn G. Kleine is in my view the best work by the artist thus far, she has captured the subject matter perfectly with precision styled fluent flute and keyboard performances, this is one of the best albums that I have heard in the new age music genre for years, and as such deserves to be a massive hit on the charts, and maybe even more!
