“Ode to Ofra Haza”

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Click the link to check out:
SOLARCADE’s newest Album “The Beautiful Demon”.

“The new SOLARCADE CD took my breath away. It is astoundingly good!”
-2007 Grammy Nominated Mastering Engineer Mike Lazar

I have known these guys for about six years now and their music just continues to grow more and more beautiful with time. They are being compared to U2, Coldplay and other such greats. My favorites from them so far are:

“Ode to Ofra Haza”
“The Teardrop Explodes”
“Beautiful”
“Arms of Love”

I know you will love their music too.* They are headed for big things!!!

My very best wishes to all.

Take care of eachother, every moment is precious.*

Beautiful, by SOLARCADE

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

By: Liane Schmidt

Pomilla (Guitarist), Paul Van (Lead Singer)

“Beautifulâ€?, by SOLARCADE begins softly, like a quiet night’s lullaby, touching the listeners’ soul, deeper, gently, like a perfect summer’s breeze and one’s heart cannot help but soar and ache, for love, for pain, for joy, for…beauty.

Paul Van’s vocals are like the soft caress of a lover’s touch. He sings with an unbridled passion that flows calmly and then rises higher and higher in powerful, freeing beauty.

Comparable to the sound and talents of U2 and Cold Play, SOLARCADE is able to remain distinct with tragic, honest, inspiring, and hopeful lyrics.

SOLARCADE’S “Beautiful” makes the spirit soar in much the same way James Blunt was able to perfect through his masterpiece “You’re Beautifulâ€?.

This song will, without a doubt, leave any listener feeling “Beautiful�.
