"Beautiful lyrics, and a harmonious voice, aesthetic beauty that may well take her to front covers and chart hits. These two songs ["Dream" & "The Way We Are"] have already marked the beginning of great things for this young lady in both the US and here. This recording effort is thoughtful and offers intricate music with a sexy undertone, though this not particularly a "commercial" offering. Indeed the work may not appeal to say the "Pussycat Doll" or "Britney Spears" glitz and glamour ilk of today, but this is a powerful statement of intent from the girl, something that will and has put her on the map the world over.

"Opener and single "Dream" is "poppy" and "charming," there is a little Shania Twain style, rock and roll in this, enough to make anyone dance the night away without a care in the world whilst thinking "oooh the world is a pretty place"... OK, maybe that is just me. Still that's what is on offer here potential listeners, this is...straight forward good time music, that will lift you up on your darkest day. On "Dream," Celeste uses a register that sooths rather than intrudes on your ears, soulful yet melodicically she caresses senses: "you may know what you want, but I know what you need." True, we do really need this stuff right now, pop music that involves real talent, and real passion, that is based on the quality, not the image.

"Accompanied by a nice "orchestra" of violins, a trumpet, some drums and guitar, the only act in recent memory that can re-create truly emotive work at this level are "The Corrs." The "feel good" element is rarely captured today unless your "feel good time" involves getting excited over tight skirts and some severely choreographed dance steps, and so Astrella, for this decade alongside the aforementioned acts, is truly "new and exciting."

"Intriguing new vocal stylist, Astrella Celeste, is shimmying out from under the exceptionally long shadow of her father, British pop star Donovan. You don..t have to listen to her EP, Blue Star, for very long to recognize the casual, comfortable sensuality that made her dad so popular back in the day still courses through her veins. This is jazz-pop community music with a wink and smile; the kind that makes you want to slip on a black beret and sip overpriced coffee with friends."

"Astrella has the most beautiful lyrics and voice, so sensitive, so personal, her song "Dreams" is like a deep and magical mystery tour inside her heart, and the way she sings "you" in the song "I need you," you'll swear she's singing just to you. The music is so relaxing, like Jimmy Buffet meets Carol King on a beautiful island, and the mood can be summed up well in the line "Take it easy, what's your hurry, I can see no need to worry."
