BILLBOARD MAGAZINE
"Newcomer Raine is a Canadian rocker with a rasp voiced attack reminiscent
of compatriot
Alannah Myles.
She exudes mucho aggression within the tracks blues soaked pop instrumentation,
which leans heavily
on crunchy rhythm guitar chords and whirling organ lines. The songs immediately
contagious chorus pushes this
potential winner over the top and makes this a viable contender for top 40 and
album rock radio play" - Larry Flick,
(Review & Previews (for Raine's song 'Drives Me Wild')

have a wonderful voice...an A1 voice" - Seth Riggs, singing coach to the
stars (i.e. Madonna,
Michael
Jackson, Diana Ross) and creator of Seth Riggs Vocal Technique

Overall Melodies: 4.5
Song Arrangement: 4 to 4.5
Thanks for submitting the material for the evaluation. I enjoyed listening to
the songs.
To give you insight to the scoring scale above, the majority of artists score in
the 2.5 to 3.5 range
in the various categories. Whenever an artist sees a 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 or 3.5 as
a score in a certain
category (or categories) it means that's an area I feel they need to improve
and develop. When someone sees 4, 4.5 or 5 as their score in a category, that
tells them, to me,
they are in the professional league and have strong potential. It's a
validation from a pro, letting you know
you are doing a fine job. Every artist should work hard to earn 4.5 to 5 in
every category. It's a very competitive
business and people averaging in the 3's (or less) will probably not get too far
without a great deal of improvement and development. I don't give out 4's and 5's easily, so any of those you
see, you have earned. Well done!" Eugene Foley
