released in 2000
Akire's first CD, Arms of the Sun, is now here!
Praise for Akire's new CD, Arms of the Sun:
"A collection of thirteen
songs, the album is essentially a cross-section of modern folk. Bubar
is remarkably good at transitioning between styles; her songs evoke
everyone from Iris DeMent to Maddy Pryor, with a suprising detour into
blue-eyed soul with "Procrastination." ...It does a nice job of
demonstrating the singer's versatility and keeping the listener on
their toes...her voice [is] simultaneously warm and supple, filled with
passion..."
- Richard E. Dansky, Green Man Review
"Akire has just released an album to be proud of - really proud. She
stands boldly naked with just her talent, and it's intensely
captivating. Pay attention, this woman's got the magic!"
- Allen
Foster, Songwriter's Monthly
