Interviews i did with Sparky from the awesome TopTalentPromotions on You Gotta be real and Love like thunder
When writing music and lyrics Cozmicsoulfire tries to stays true to herself and her experiences in life.
She is a soulful and confessional storywriter.
As an artist she has traversed several genres from pop/rock & dance at WE2Are1 and One Man Guerrilla.
Her compilation album of these two albums, merged into the best of "The dance and The Love", has been re-released on all major portals in 2019 and to rock & metal on her lastest album "So Gorgeous"...she has pioneered in her art.
What Cozmicsoulfire creates is an original approach on catchy power rock/popfusion with dance, hiphop and metal.
All with a filmic way of story telling and a poetic scenery touch...belting out ferociously. Near to writing perfect tunes, great guitar productions with passionate melodies,
while distorted power chords ring out beautiful and unusual compositions, good rhythm, terrific guitar and magnificent vocals.
Also sound and arrangement are very well-kept on a long and beautiful musical journey...refreshingly unconcerned with styles & trends.
Influenced by Ann & Nancy Wilson and the band Heart, Kate Bush, Patti Smith, Carole King,
Melissa Etheridge, Linda Perry & 4 Non Blondes,
P!nk, Opeth, Massive Attack and Apocalyptica,
as well as popsingers & producers like Michael Jackson, Nile Rodgers and Abba.
She is a singer/songwriter with a big voice and
an absolute force to be reckoned with.
She is a hauntingly amazing female Robert Plant with a Kate Bush similar timbre in her high region voice, a badass attitude to rock: refreshing, vibrant, sexy.
She is one of our most multidimensional artists!

Creative Popmusic-Style (Love like Thunder)
Unconventional pop song with dancelfloor groove. The arrangement characterizes harmonical melodies inspired by electronical modulated sounds coming at the right time. Marianne Vedder has a dynamic voice and special vocal projection. The lyrics come from the heart and touching the soul. Fast drum & bass beat forcing the song constantly on a higher level. Ambitious recording by using unconventional sounds bringing a hypnotically feel into the music. Overall good digitally mixed and mastered cool sounding track. This song could be soon played in the club-scene.

Thunderous (Love like Thunder)
A very modern instrumental begin this journey. Moving through a very nice but common chord progression that will carry you through the song. . When i say a common chord progression , this is not a slight, but rather something the listener can catch onto very quickly. And all the while , this extremely soulful voice is building tension throughout. The ebb and flow of her vocal is so captivating, and just makes you feel the thunder.

I Adore You
"Cozmicsoulfire" is a new sound from The Netherlands ...a bit of Instrumental Dance ,Pop and Spoken Word. Got a Rave Dance beat and high energy. A great track to send to your beloved brings people together instead of part with words of life instead of hate. Spiritual too. Back up Vocal * * * Some stellar instrumental and a very inspired composition. I think this would do well in the Club Circuit and in the Rave Genre ,so I hope you will think about it. Lovely voice too, easy to listen to and soulful.

“I could sense the emotion in Vedder’s voice, which matched nicely with the emotion being conveyed in the music.
It was like being reminded of what it’s like, to try to be patient for as long as possible with someone, until you finally lose it.
The song’s melodies will keep you at an even keel, then take you on a roller coaster of emotion, all the way to the end.”
“Ahead of its time. The music is for sure ahead of its time. The music of tomorrow . It has a futuristic rock radio feel.
We commend this music. It's fresh and innovative. Rock has been considered dead amongst the population,
it's music like this that keeps that torch burning bright .

" They don't care about you"
“Phenomenon... I love phenomenal things, things that remind you of nothing. Usually you can easily tell who this or that artist is really after in his or her creative endeavor. Regarding Cozmicsoulfire it's impossible to tell what the initial template truly might have been. Me at least I don't come to think 'bout some direct parallels in terms of the second hand manufacture. I of course distaste imitation or something like eine Nachahmung, une sorte pastiche. Instead I praise the first hand music, I enjoy clever lyrics (trust me, this song has gotten very clever lyrics), and BTW don't you, guys, find it very true - they in fact never care about you or anybody. Do you care 'bout anybody? I do actually: I adore humans who have talent. Pas des nouveaux riches are about to rule the world, the folks who have talent will. Just believe me...

Rain,rain,rain pouring down on me (So Gorgeous)
“Very Soul-Sexy I found myself listening to this cut over and over. Very captivating vocals and a gorgeous range that made me soulfully attracted to her voice. The track was well performed and I felt my heart beating with the rhythm section and percussion. So much so I felt like I had to hear more. So I played it again. Certainly her voice is worthy of being more on top of this mix which would only enhance this song and attract any A&R publisher to roll the dice.

Reptile (So Gorgeous)
“Today we will be checking Cozmicsoulfire's "Reptile" Whoever said that girls can't rock obviously haven't checked out Cozmicsoulfire's music. "Reptile" is a very cool fusion of Rock and Metal, it's heavy yet melodic and there is a diversity in the music that really helps it stand out on its own. The arrangement of the song is totally unique, at first I thought that the music moving in two different directions was a detraction, but as the song progressed that clash really grew on me to the point that I was loving by the end song. The song is well produced, but the vocals were the standout instrument for me. Powerful, varied and rife with emotion and conviction. Lyrically, you can tell that this track is based off personal experience which in of itself helps the listener really relate to the songs message. I love it when artists use personal experiences to infuse their art with the "human element", it helps add that extra dimension of feeling and sincerity.”
Christopher Carrion - Reptile ROCKS!
Reptile (So Gorgeous)
“I am always intrigued when songs don't fit to ONE genre. At the moment this is what I fell with Reptile. Metal guitar riffs and drum beats, combined with pop elements like the drum machine sound, and at times synthesizer backing vocals and even a bit of rap in the bridge. First, I like the 2 guitars in the beginning. Lead vocals a great, just make sure you are achieving consistent levels during the song. In verse 2 the level for the vocals is a bit softer in the mix which I would prefer for the whole song. A real drum and bass would change the flavor more towards rock and metal which may not what you want. You could give the bass track more variations and bring it out in the mix a bit more no matter where you see the song going. Well done for having the courage to integrate different styles and bringing in creativity in your music, you may be up to discovering a new audience.”

You&Me (Poison)
“WARNING: Not for the faint-hearted. For those who have had great sex that crosses into spiritual experience (or those who want that,) this is the song. Barry White, step aside; this girl sets the mattress on fire and f***ing rocks! The hard-driving guitars and drums keep pace with the fiery vocals, starting low and sexy, mounting to the chorus. I don’t need a copy of the lyrics for this one; it makes no difference if the impassioned whispers at the bridge are saying, “cum, cum” or “god, god”. Body and Spirit are inseparable. This is passion served straight up. Nothing watered down here.”
