Then Sings My Soul (click to listen)

Then Sings My Soul-Songs of Faith and Inspiration is a masterful work, a veritable harvest of old familiar hymns performed in a new fresh way along with contemporary easy listening sounds and sprinkled with the Latin spice that only Peruvian born arranger/pianist Cocho Arbe could create.

Recorded with the very best musicians that Las Vegas has to offer, this piece has received critical acclaim: "Richel's spiritually abundant music is a gift to anyone who has yearned for a voice that connects to a global heart. She brings a musical confidence to our Soul's desire for peace, love and abundance, while allowing us to share more intimately the quiet side of prayer.

Whether she scoots around a jazzy arrangement, belts out inspiration or shares a quiet moment of motherhood (Mother's Prayer), T.S.M.S is a spirited treasure to be heard" Jeanne Smith, VP of Creative, Haydenburri Lane, San Francisco, CA.
