notes
Sophie Moleta is a singer, songwriter, composer and music teacher with an intimate singing style. She is best known for her piano backed vocals in what can be described as 'folk pop', but has a wide range of recorded music with dance and house music, electronic ambient, laid back jazz and other styles. Her music is personal, generally sparse but always with seductive beautiful vocals.
Sophie grew up and started her career in Western Australia and has travelled widely and performed and recorded in the UK, France, Europe, New Zealand and Australia.
The album "Every Girl I Know Deserves a Packet of Stars" includes songs composed in the recent three years while living in Wellington New Zealand. Sophie began teaching music to children - and at the first concert she gave each of the performers a packet of star stickers. The girls all came to their next lessons with the stickers all over their music folders - inspiring the title song to the album.
Included in this album are fourteen songs and a bonus video track of the "Te-Atawhai" song. The song on the video was written about a young girl Te-Atawhai who Sophie met in early 2005. The recording of this track, and the video, were partly funded by a grant from NZONAIR in 2006.
Two of the tracks, "Fly" and "Rub Your Shoulders" were recorded live in Singapore in August 2005.
The songs are primarily piano/vocals although the title song is an electronic production in a hip hop style with a rap portion - the production by Nic Hartley and co-produced and rap by Monwa.
This album will reward repeated listens. The album notes contain more information on each track.

"And we'll admire the forest together"
author: kasiaListening to this album is like..finding out that just Behind Your Wall spreads a whole infinite space of glittering stars, twinkling rivers, diving doves and other simply deep miracles...all brought to you by Sophie and her Piano. . . I just more admire the world where such music exists :)
really intense
author: jaybeesI have bought this cd because I really love sophie's music. Her new album is very beautiful . I think that her working have evolved .. This album is very rich .. it is a good trip in Sophie's world. Really thanks for this album
Soothing Piano, Raw Emotion, Excellent Album!!
author: John GundersonEvery girl and boy I know deserves to have this album in thier collection! A very raw and emotion packed album, which is a very rare thing these days. Personal stand outs for me are Te-Atawhai,Garden,Sky Going Lady,Nocturne For Brett Whitley,Stand Your Ground,and Raumati. I reccomend this album for people of all ages. Like the rest of Sophie's work it's personal, powerfull, and timeless!!
Heartfelt music - superb vocals and piano
author: Bill in NZThis CD is a continuation of the mainly piano/vocal personal songs of Moleta, but the best to date - with a bonus charming video of the song Te-Atawhai. All the songs are strong - favourites are the two Haiku based songs, Ridges and Stand Your Ground - and the two live tracks Rub Your Shoulders and Fly - and perhaps my two most favourite songs being Angel of Silence and the magnificent Cossack. All the songs speak from the heart - and will provide incentive to search out other Moleta music, in this and other genres.
Pleasant sounds and lyrics. Good for ambience or serious listening. Features a nice video with wonderful background scenes.
