This One Earth

When you’ll be thinking of this world
Recall - the earth is one

This music is close to the earth. Maybe the reason for this is lush percussion, maybe it is the enchanting singing of Danielle Ballantine or maybe this perception is caused by touching lyrics but one thing is evident. This is the music of this earth and it is created for the human beings living on our planet.

There is so much beauty in the music of the album “This One Earth”. It is the whole endless ocean of love and serenity. And Danielle Ballantine’s music is very pure. It has both uplifting and relaxing features.

When you listen to the album “This One Earth” you are able to look at this world with the eyes of a child. You see it as it is without any mental or social constructions. Our world was such always but maybe you never could see it when you became adult.

What more can be added about this album? Beautiful enigmatic chorals, bewitching harp, perfect ambient environment, very delicate sounding – all this is the project “This One Earth”. This is a bright example of inspired music.
