New Review & Interview on “NEXT BIG THING”

"Love Or Inertia" – Amy Raasch (Independent Release)
"This is a love letter to the lost, and a shy note to the soon to be found. Are the dreams of those left behind stronger than the realities of the empty spaces?
How do we cope with abandonment, how do we survive the silence, where there was once enough laughter and noise to fill our most scared moments.
Do we follow a ‘wild blueprint’ (as Raasch herself puts it) and try block out the creeping thoughts of isolation, do we smash into trees to get a super hero to save us, or dive deep into steamy seduction and let sweat and touch confuse us.
Or do we write brittle beautiful songs and confront the shadows?
Raasch has an actors focus on the tiny movements of the soul, and enough belief in the hope that shines out every new dawn, to create songs of truth and regret and ultimately salvation.
No pity here, either for herself or the wounded heroes and heroines in her seductively sung stories, but so much compassion and understanding.
