Danika Holmes - Second Chances

Danika Holmes debut CD Second Chances is a delight. I enjoy each of the 11 tracks.


Danika is a bright new talent. She sings, writes, and plays guitar and piano. I could really hate her (what, me, jealous? LOL).

1. Half As Strong As You - Very emotional, unfortunately the instrumentals almost drown out the vocals.
    This is the only track that has that problem.

2. Unlit Match - Good song, reminds me of the old “torch” songs like “Fever”. Danika does a good job. I
    really like this song.

3. You Make A Bad Day Good - Great slow dance song. Fits Danika’s voice very nicely. I really like this
     one.

4. Annie May - A good old fashion ballad (I ‘m a sucker for ballads) that covers the important moments in
    America during the 20th & beginning of the 21st Centuries. I love this one. Vocals are perfect. Beautiful
    acoustic guitar and piano.

5. Lock Me In Tonight - Go see the video. LOL

6. If You Love Me, Just Say It - Great C&W. Good tempo, I can see people line dancing to this.

7. Sounds Like Goodbye - Heartbreaking song. Danika sings it well and the music is beautiful.

8. Time For A Change - Reminds me of a classic early R&R song. You know , the ones from the 50s that
     have a bit of C&W to them. JMO. (Or is it just the opposite? C&W with a bit of R&R). Whatever, I like
     it.

9. Pockets Full Of Gold - This is like the folk music of the 60s. Another great song, well done Danika &
    company.

10. Second Chances- A great soul searching song.

Bonus Track: Dear Friends - The best thank you I’ve ever heard.

Keep going Danika. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing more of your music. Maybe, someday I’ll get the chance to you in live concert.
