Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Pure, innocent and resolutely feminine, the tender beauty of Naimee Coleman's breathless vocals are the stuff that one-off female-fronted trance hits are made of, making her the perfect voice for Aurora's Top 5 dance re-working of Duran Duran's "Ordinary World". Bring Down the Moon's truly magical moment comes when her ethereal vocals are applied to a glorious ambient cover of the Cure's "Love Song". There is, however, another unavoidable quality to the Dublin born singer's voice: it's identical to Andrea Corr's. The resemblance is made all the more obvious with the likes of "Sugar Me, My Star" and "Standing Strong", songs which, complete with strummed acoustic guitars, the occasional fiddle and the family Corr's sweet verses and feel-good choruses, would be hard to tell from the genuine article. Probably not what she intended, remembering that this is a Naimee Coleman record is neigh impossible at points, but with a faultless selection of loveable grown-up pop to its credit, Bring Down the Moon is instantly gratifying and more than a match for anything Ireland's first family have done. --Dan Gennoe

This CD arrived in the post last week. It hasn't left my CD player since. I've been a fan of Naimee Coleman ever since hearing her sing "Ordinary World" last year with Aurora, a song which surprisingly doesn't appear on the album. Notable tracks on the CD include "My Star", which was released as a single in June, the seductive and sweet "Sugar Me" (no pun intended), the lively "Standing Strong", the upbeat "Misunderstood" and the absolutely stunning "Delicate", in my opinion the best song on the album - I haven't been able to get it out of my head. The other songs are also fantastic - it really is an album I'd highly recommend. What is unique about Naimee Coleman as a female singer is that she falls into neither of the two typical categories - the "alternative" songwriters with their constant existential angst, and the manufactured, bubble-gum pop divas belting out sugary-sweet and ultimately boring love songs. Naimee's songs have depth, and the lyrics are absolutely beautiful. So, yes, I do like this CD! :)

I can't remember the last time an album had such a strong impact on me. Bring Down The Moon is the best album I have heard in years. Naimee's songs are soulfull and beautiful. I wish this was a double album I just keep playing it back to back. If you're looking for Natalie Imbruglia meets Bjork or Andrea Corr singing with Massive attack then buy this album - No. buy two copies and spread the worde. Bring Down The Moon is very special.

After her vocals on the Auroa track "Ordinary World" kept me sane during the first few weeks of starting my first year at University, I wanted to hear some of her other tracks. I looked in shops for a twenty mile radius and even asked people to look for me. Unable to find anything, I bought her two CDS SILVER WRISTS and BRING DOWN THE MOON online.
BRING DOWN THE MOON was played once. Then again. Then again. Then again. Then again. Then it was played on the CD player in my car. Then it was played another five times before I finally went to bed. MY STAR is a very powerful, upbeat song which can mean about five different things dependent on who listens and when you listen to it. HOLD ON is perhaps the best anthem to anyone who is going through bad times in their life I have ever heard. MISUNDERSTOOD is a very clever song and one that made me look at my freelance writing in a different manner and one I think anyone creativly gifted should listen to when they are starting out in their craft.
Yep, you guessed it, as I write this review, guess what I am listening to? This CD is amazing and so is SILVER WRISTS.
