THE JEWISH CANADIAN NEWS REVIEW...
The eight songs on The Passion Show are full of vibrant energy and dance rhythms that would be at home in the hottest dance clubs in Europe.
Ofir (Ronit Ofir Engel) combines Eurobeat with world music and American pop to create her own unique style, and her vocal range is truly beautiful and impressive. She also throws in some Spanish flavour on Never Call Me Babe, and on It's Awesome she mixes Chinese styles with a dance beat.
It's hard to find a basis of comparison but songs like Task of Mind and Outrageous bring Madonna's Ray of Light and Geri Helliwell's It's Raining Men to mind. Hi Ofir,I had a chance to listen to your song:

RADIO REVIEW OF THE PASSION SHOW CD
***********
Israeli-Canadian Singer/songwriter Ofir has a new music CD magnum opus called, 'The Passion' that... combines techno pop dance and house and ballads music with letters to God about the Universe and where its going that will shake your booty while at the same time telling the truth about the modern world and its pop culture. Ofir does this well in her vocal tilt and lilt(great!!) and lyrics especially the title track and Never Call me Babe and Fire Escape tellingly makes hits on the very pop culutre that the albuma embraces musically. The tension between the lyrical content(good) and the dance oriented artifice makes for an artistically well balanced listenable pot pouri of pop songs. The disc recalls the late 1980' Cosmic Thing by The B52's that justaposed upbeatradio friendly dance pop with social criism that made it so appealing and poignant at the same time .. A definite thumbs up for Ofirs review... nik beat CIUT RADIO

“Dance”
“The expression of love, grace an elegance A movement of intimacy, empowerment, romance Riding the crest of an ocean wave Gliding through the air on a breezy day My body on Earth my soul reaches away To Heaven. The religion of rhythm A moth to a candle A key to a slave of Pleasure and pain I take my first emancipated steps Freedom This is my chance. That’s where I go When I Dance.”
Poem. Paul Weston.

“My Cat.”
“My cat leaps around the garden fence Pouncing on anything that moves There’s no defence Sleeps for hours and sometimes days Bathing in the summer rays Hibernating in the winter cold Prowling, howelling meowing so bold My cat is quick, sleek, reactions unique If I ever return as a bird or a mouse then I am going to leave my house When I am due to travel away my cat sulks for days Moody before and then turns his back as I return to the door Feeding him food from a tin Is considered by my feline friend a cardinal sin He sits and looks at me in disgust This is not what I want for my breakfast. “Give me lean chicken, salmon or fresh beluga Or I’ll slash the side of your chair like Freddy Kruger My claws are sharp I will reduce your coat To the texture and look of an old Nanny goat I go to sit in my favourite chair In front of the fire and guess whose there! Asleep in my bed I awake with surprise As a purring nose pokes me straight in the eyes! I now understand the word perfection Is all about my cats affection Even when he wreaks the place I live A look from those saucer green eyes makes me forget and forgive. My cat has a spiritual link, a supernatural perception Something that humans have no connection I can only watch look and admire all of that Oh…I forgot to mention. My cat is An Acrobat.”
Calling by to wish you a fun week and enjoy your music.
“Paul Weston Arts” Company will be launched on 26th October and I will send you the web site details / banner information and more details ASAP.

“Passion Flower”
“Love is a passion flower It may not last forever While she’s here She’s dressed as natures Finest Princess A radiant, wondrous creation A garden hostess To grace the autumn wonderland A cascade of colours that nature gave To brighten, enlighten and bless our lives Before the winter wasteland Whose darkness does arrive
Love can last forever Through the glorious rebirth of spring To the shining sunburst of summer I know she will return In the autumn clouds Bloom and grow As the wind blows The leaves float Gently to the ground I catch the fall
Love is a passion flower The greatest gift of all.”
