Your CDs (Infinite Voice & Heavenly Peace, sic) are delightfully produced, arranged, and of course, sung! Congratulations on finding a home as a recording artist, and a fellow soprano, with unusual arrangements of familiar repertoire.

I appreciated Tranquil Times serene vibe and the floating feeling I was left with by the end – tranquil times indeed. . . Although Darlene has the voice of an angel, it is wonderful to see her spreading her wings to reveal her other equally impressive musical gifts.

Rarely have I been so captivated by a singer throughout an entire album. . . Every song on Solitary Treasures is a stunner. . . No matter your musical taste, this is really a winner.
