Review by theLettuceGarden

Note, I am ONLY reviewing Olivia's Bleeding Heart song. The song, wonderful! It indeeds incorporate spring and it especially showcases Olivia's angelic voice, similar effect I had when I listened to A Little Pain song lol (I was half crying). Anyhow, because I love that song so much, I badly want to buy this album, but it's out of print (and I missed out on buying the a* copy with international shipping). Oh well...

I gotta say, as a person that listened to all of her music styles, this one has to be my least favourite. I love Olivia, but this mini album, in my opinion sounds like many others, it just doesn't give me the unique feeling to it. Since I do love her so much, I will still buy it XD, especially if she has her cool hand drawn art inside it. And oh, there's a French release edition, which contains this album, Sailing Free and its b sides as well as a bonus remix song of If You Only Knew- that it will get.

First things first, if you practically EVERYTHING of Olivia's, well it wouldn't worth it to get this one, since it only has two extra new songs. In saying that, if you really love her (like me XD), I would get the DVD version, since it has all of the music vids, yay! As for those that only listen to Olivia as Reira, please buy this, you will not regret it. It contains all of her songs (except of her first album stuff) that represents her music- from her dark, punkish to haunting stuff from her Lost Lolli album (esp Under Your Waves & Cupid, my personal fave) to her more poppy music like in her newer album Trinka Trinka, you will see (hear) what Olivia has evolve to. She is one unique artist, it's hard to find someone that drastically experiments with their music throughout their careers, not to mention her top-notch vocals. Only one complaint though: the songs Let Go/Tears & Rainbows (from A Little Pain) and Ballerina (from Into the Stars) shouldn't be in this album, since that it's already in their respective singles(esp Let Go etc), and therefore you wouldn't want to buy those singles. As well, I wish that this album had her Synchronicity stuff (ex Color of Your Spoon), especially Dear Angel (this one is a powerful one), so that new fans can hear what she was like in her early stages of her career. In summary: old Olivia fans, buy this for the music vids (esp for Sea Me, SpidERSpins & Into the Stars) as for the new fans, please buy this to listen that Olivia is more than just 'Reira'.

Yet another great single by a top-notch artist OLIVIA. The cover single Sea Me is a rockish song, a very addicting one at that. As for the cover song Africa, it's very decent cover song, which is originally by Toto (I'm pretty sure you guys know that right?). Buy it now!
