Customer Reviews
Surprising and beautiful
I’ve only just discovered this and wow. I am a singing teacher and would love the sheet music to teach my pupils some of these songs, they are absolutely beautiful and catchy and inspiring.
Unique, and Surprisingly Beautiful!
As much as I love other Atypical Artists productions, I have to admit I was still skeptical that a musical podcast would be more than a fun bit of novelty but… wow am I happy I was wrong!
The plot has so much exciting depth to keep you on your toes and hold your interest, the vocals are—of course—amazing, and the instrumentals really help build a cohesive world alongside the amazing foley work.
All in all this is a wonderful little self-contained story with a lot of heart and a good bit of heartache. Definitely worth giving it your time 💙
