RadioIndy is pleased to present A Secret Sense with a GrIndie Award for the CD "The Piano Solo"

Evoking the sheer beauty of a single instrument, A Secret Sense's "The Piano Solo" is a magnificent piano instrumental album with great classic and pop elements. A Secret Sense is the solo project of German pianist and composer Stephan Prinz, and these ten clearly inspired tracks put on display his raw talent as both. This release is filled with melancholic and moody songs with beautiful progressions and soaring melodies. These are the type of songs that you close your eyes and listen to and feel calm and at peace. "The Piano Solo" is well-produced, and the recordings sound clean, every stroke of ivory distinct and beautiful. "Never Ending" has a great arrangement that utilizes the entire piano and has a melancholic, sad sound. "Tell Me Why" is a more upbeat and poppy arrangement, beautifully and skillfully crafted. The only vocal track on the album is on the closer, "Tell Me Why – Vocal Version," which features a beautiful female vocal accompaniment and catchy, sad lyrics and the same arrangement as the original track. "The Piano Solo" makes the statement that Stephan Prinz is one of the premier classical and pop pianists in the world, as well as an excellent songwriter capable of evoking emotion and beauty solely with the keystrokes of his piano. Fans of great instrumental piano work with classical and pop influence should check out A Secret Sense.
