Kelly Sweet is going to be the next big star, the diva we all have been waiting to come onto the scene that is not a manufactured American Idol. Kelly met with producer, arranger, and songwriter Mark Portmann (Celine Dion) in the summer of 2004. Soon the two began writing songs together, resulting in the turning point of a career that blossoms on We Are One on Razor & Tie Entertainment.

The twelve tracks on this CD give you a glimpse of the diverse talent that Kelly Sweet is. Someday this album will be a cherished debut that few were able to duplicate. The comparisons to Celine Dion will invariably arise due to her relationship with Portmann as the producer and the fact that she recorded three tracks in French and Italian. Although I could not understand a word, I could feel the emotion that went into each track and Sweet's talent is obvious no matter what she is doing on this recording. This lady has it all going for her. "Raincoat" is her take on jazz, and oh my, is it a great effort. I think that jazz is a style she should delve into more seriously. She certainly has the right vocal timbre to go places with it-not to say she is not already. These are yet more options for a career that is all set to take flight-straight to the upper stratosphere and beyond. Yes, I feel that strongly about this artist. I do not say things like this if I do not feel it and all the necessary elements are in place here for her to make a huge impact.
