Rave review of her CD, "Live For Life" in New York City's Cabaret Scenes Magazine (Cabaretscenes.com) as well as a feature article in the August, 2002 issue.
"A sophisticated, honey-warm jazz sound like Bellas - and phrasing that would have made Ella nod in admiration......says Stephanie Salter of the San Francisco Chronicle. "A sexy voice, impeccable taste and rare musical instinct add up to make Opie Bellas a jazz singer to treasure." says Octavio Rocca. And Grammy-nominated author James Gavin says, "Opie Bellas makes such an instant emotional connection with her songs that it's hard not to be moved when she sings. At the same time, her voice has a musicality so innate, that she never has to strain to prove it"

  • Perfect
    author: John Abernathy

    I bought this CD a few years ago after seeing Opie at the New York Cabaret Convention. It continues to be my most played CD - absolutely perfect!

  • Rainbow Connection
    author: Bonnie J Barnts

    I can't wait to get my CD. You are full of life and vitality. Thanks for being contagious.

  • The best voice in the business... the world will discover Opie!
    author: Rick Cheetham, Cape Town, South Africa

    Opie's choice of melodies, her voice and technique, the arrangements and all the musicians are superb. Every song moves me... every song is easy listening... she puts her heart into each and every one. Opie's own composition, MY BROTHER JOHN, in remembrance of her late brother, is very poignant and musical art. This CD is a must for every collection!

  • Wonderful voice, musicianship, arranging, and style.
    author: Don Rossman

    We are really enjoying this CD. Opie's voice is silky smooth, and the instrumentation of the band is super. Not often we hear strings with cabaret vocalists. We are impressed with her style and this recording especially.

    Ms B renders great pop and jazz vocals straightforwardly with her clear and luscious voice and simple phrasings. A joy to hear!

  • Excellent vocal quality, very pleasing to the ear!
