“Simple”
in
some
ways
is
the
perfect
title
for
Brenda’s
fourth
album
as
a
leader
in
the
sense
that
her
pianistic
approach
is
soft,
unfettered
and
somewhat
easy
to
grasp.
But,
on
the
other
hand,
her
compositions
can
be
unpredictable,
uncommonly
passionate
and
quite
sophisticated.
The
piano
thoroughly
lends
itself
to
the
emotional
manifestations
of
the
consummate
and
contemplative
Brenda
Hopkins
Miranda.
Simple
channels
her
profound
individuality,
drawn
from
a
private
source
of
focused
consciousness
and
performed
with
genuine
grace
and
elegance.
Hopkins
can
keep
it
passive
and
light,
or
venture
into
the
technical
storm
of
"The
Music
Inside
Your
Sea"
with
turbulence
and
tranquility.
The
sostenuto
chords
and
resolute
structure
of
"Broken
Promise"
2
show
the
complexity
of
her
personality,
which
she
willingly
hangs
on
her
musical
sleeve.
A
superb
production,
Simple
portrays
Hopkins
Miranda
as
an
adventuresome
pianist,
and
embodies
the
old
adage
that
still
waters
run
deep.
Comprised
of
100%
original
compositions,
Simple
is
a
music
jewel
from
beginning
to
end.
But
the
best
things
that
can
be
said
about
her
music
is
that
it
has
the
power
to
transform
the
listener
and
one
can
surely
be
the
better
person
for
experiencing
it!
