While it comes across like a Broadway soundtrack, the sincerity of the lyrics with the intoxicating quality of Chens’ voice makes the album approachable by even those who are not so theatrically inclined.

National Music Reviews
Odessa Chen with the Invisible Stories Ensemble
The Act of Loving You
Self-Released
Street: 05.01
Odessa Chen = Joanna Newsom + Owen Pallet
In collaboration with Max Stoffregen, Odessa Chen shines on The Act of Loving You with a powerful voice paired with classical musicians. While it comes across like a Broadway soundtrack, the sincerity of the lyrics with the intoxicating quality of Chens’ voice makes the album approachable by even those who are not so theatrically inclined. I look forward to hearing more releases by her, with the hope that she’ll use a theme other than the desire of a lover in the future. –Brinley Froelich
