Sarah Howells
"Looking at life through a loaded gun
Take your best shot, aim it at the sun
Looking at life through a loaded gun
You know you値l find...
You値l find yourself...
You'll find yourself alone..."
I am a huge trance music fan, and I discovered Sarah Howells while listening to Armin van Buuren's weekly radio show "A State of Trance". The song was "Find Yourself" the Cosmic Gate Remix. My attention was caught the moment the strings hit. Shortly after, this gorgeous and unique voice chimes in and I'm blown away. I've been a fan ever since. Now don't shut her down automatically thinking "I hate trance", you simply must give her a try! You can thank me later
