We had an invitation from Joy Eden Harrison to see her live at the A2A music showcase in Amsterdam during October, and so had the advantage of no preconceptions as to the quality of her performance before the show. Upon meeting briefly with Miss Harrison before her set, we were still none the wiser about the tall, quiet and mysterious young woman to whom we were introduced…

On stage, Miss Harrison quickly established herself as a presence, bringing the stragglers in from outside and filling the room. Her stage presence was electric, sensual and powerfully feminine, drawing the audience in and mesmerising them. A transformation had taken place from her off-stage persona - she used her voice, body and sensuality to seduce the audience -nobody in the room could turn away to hold a private conversation. Miss Harrison has an intense voice, but the act was far more than this - it was the sum of many parts, delivering something rarely seen and hardly ever successfully pulled off. She had the Marilyn Monroe touch!!!

Joy Eden Harrison is 100% performer, somebody who absolutely must be seen live to be fully appreciated. Her CD may capture the voice, but without those arms reaching out to embrace you as you listen you cannot appreciate the act to even a fraction of it's potential.
