"The soothing melodies of another Janice Lacy track pour over my senses today, and it sees my musical soul fall literally in love with a pastiche of piano and instrumentation called Embraced….Lacy’s style on this piece is multi-faceted and offers up musical reflection and tenderness; the combination of cello, violin and piano at this tempo is sublimely beautiful in all of its radiant textures.”

"Warm and dreamy, the cello and violin deepen the emotional expression of the piano, giving the music wings to soar. Tenderness flows from every note, warming the heart while soothing the spirit.”
