All Music Guide - Heather Phares
Sarah Ban Breathnach's Simple Abundance: Music of Comfort and Joy is a fusion of new age tenets and contemporary pop music written in service of simple pleasures and goals like cherishing your friends and family and enjoying the moment. Upbeat pop songs like "At the End of the Day" are paired with more atmospheric pieces such as "Ceremonial for Common Hours," both of which celebrate a particular part of Simple Abundance's philosophy (in this case, making the most out of each day).

Sarah Ban Breathnach's Simple Abundance: Music of Comfort and Joy is a fusion of new age tenets and contemporary pop music written in service of simple pleasures and goals like cherishing your friends and family and enjoying the moment. Upbeat pop songs like "At the End of the Day" are paired with more atmospheric pieces such as "Ceremonial for Common Hours," both of which celebrate a particular part of Simple Abundance's philosophy (in this case, making the most out of each day). Breathnach's voice is sweet and clear, and adds an extra earnestness to sentiments like "All We Have Is All We Need." Virtues such as gratitude, simplicity, order, harmony, beauty, and joy are explored on Simple Abundance, with the vocal and instrumental expressions of each quality complementing each other nicely. This album feels aimed at fans of pop music more than new age fans, who might prefer to read the motivational liner notes and meditate on them during the instrumental passages. However, those willing to accept singer/songwriter-style pop as well will most likely find something to like about Simple Abundance.

    Exciting complement to the book

    Simple Abundance Music of Comfort and Joy is perfect to listen to while you work through the book, the songs reaffirm the six life-affirming Simple Abundance principles. The original music on this album is wonderfully done and is a pleasure to listen at any time. For me At The End Of The Day and All We Have Is All We Need are my favorites.
