In art, what separates genius from mere knack?, Talent from faculty?, True gift from aptitude?, Or real ability from transitory bent? I’ll tell you. It’s agreed, and if you’ll listen to GOLDIVA’S new CD “In My Heart”, and then compare it to the trite, clichéd, rank, amateur, desultory, dilettante, truncated, tyro CD’s cluttering your desk and office right now, you will see the difference. Why because GOLDIVA has all the balances that make critics rave and audiences beg for more. What balances might you ask? Why the balances between artistic form and function, style and substance, and the respect of the wise and the love of the masses that are the hallmark of truly great art. How does GOLDIVA have these balances while others simply don’t? Because GOLDIVA worked ceaselessly her hole life to master a charisma that is timeless, a beauty that is now, a persona that is at once emotionally complex yet humanly accessible, and a voice attuned to the perfection of the universe. What! You say, “Nonsense! Impossible!! Nobody’s that good who isn’t famous yet!!! O.K.
