Bekki originally never intended the music on 'Innersense' to be released because
it's highly personal to her, written as it was to help her cope with an extremely painful
time in her life. Thankfully, she relented.
Within days of its release, 'Innersense' received a multitude of rave reviews and
touching comments from around the globe, from fans and critics alike, with many citing the
album as Bekki's 'magnum opus'. (No pressure then, to make The
Edge of Human even better!)
Featuring live flute playing by Bekki on two tracks ('A Breath Away' and 'Torn'), along
with some of the most moving, poignant and orchestral arrangements she's composed to date,
'Innersense' is a must-have for any music lover's collection. With this album, Bekki lays
her emotions bare and gives us her most personal music, straight from the heart.
Tracks from the album have been featured on compilation albums from the UK, Spain and
Germany, and in addition, 'Innersense' is currently ranking in the top 10 of many radio
playlists from both Europe and the USA.
This album perfectly showcases Bekki's natural gift for melody, and clearly shows her
marked evolution as a musician and composer in recent years. |

| She can't choose between 'A Breath Away' and 'Torn' - although it still
hurts her to listen to either of these (even if she won't admit it). So don't expect to
find them playing in her cottage if you ever visit. However, she also has a soft spot for
'Subliminal Sensuality', which she *does* play a lot. Very loudly. |

- "Oh boy, is all I can say about 'Innersense'. It is fantastic. It's so beautiful
that it hurts. This album really does deserve some intensive exposure." (Paul Baker,
ARFM, UK).
- "Reading the sleevenotes only confirms what is obvious upon listening to the music;
that the recording of 'Innersense' was a deeply personal and purgative experience for the
composer. It has been a refreshing experience and a privilege to hear such inspired and
emotionally charged music. It is easily her finest achievement so far. The music is
terrific - 'Innersense' is an instant classic." (Steve Roberts, SMD, UK.)
- "'Innersense' is full of emotion; in fact, to simply say that this album is full of
emotion would be doing it an injustice. 'Innersense' is a study in emotive orchestration
and arrangement from beginning to end. If I had to choose five words to describe this
album, I would have to select: Emotive, heartfelt, poignant, romantic, accomplished. But I
can actually sum it up in only three: Buy it now." (Dan Sheridan, Sonic Sense
Magazine, UK).
- "Bekkis new album finds her achieving a creative zenith musically. The sound
is absolutely breathtaking and filled with a warm sensuality that only the fairer sex
could conjure. Her lilting melodies are contrasted by a dramatic layered symphony of
sound. 'Innersense' tugs at your heart strings and carries your imagination away as each
track effortlessly rises and falls on waves of layered, evocative effects and textures. If
youre looking for music that will lift you up and help you transcend the daily toil
and trouble of life, a listen to 'Innersense' will do that for you." (Archie
Patterson, Eurock, USA).
- "The eagerly awaited new album from Bekki Williams is a tour de force! From the
beautiful opening track 'A Breath Away' to the heartfelt closing 'Fading', this album
will, quite literally, 'take your breath away' and leave you pressing the repeat button
time and time again. This album really has been worth the wait and it will touch those
parts of your soul that most other music can never hope to reach. Quite simply a
gem!" (AD Music, UK.)
- "This latest work by Bekki Williams is also probably her best. From the very
beginning of the album, we witness a display of creativity of an exceptionally high
degree. The style of the release flows along different avantgarde aspects of New
Instrumental music, Synth-Pop and Melodic Ambient. The music is very emotional, with
romantic and also majestic traits. Bekki uses synthesizers in an unusually warm way,
showing us the best of herself as a composer. This album is highly recommended for those
who love the most melodic side of electronic music." (Hector Jordan, Amazing
Sounds, Spain).
- "This album is unashamedly melodic. Not only is it melodic but it's full to
brimming over with tunes. Not only has it got tunes but it's romantic. Not only is it
romantic but it's full of warmth and fantasy. Across ten tracks and fifty minutes, the
incurable romantic that is Bekki Williams provides the listener with more tunes than you
can shake a stick at, lashings of strings, bucketfuls of romance and themes that sound
like movie soundtracks. Hats off to her for producing music she feels passionately about,
and it's passion that comes flowing out of the music from this CD like a river. If you
like melody, tunes, direction, purpose, cohesion and beauty in your synth music, then look
no further, because 'Innersense" will be a godsend.' (Andy G, CDS, UK.)

- "The emotion and power in this album is truly stunning. In my opinion this is
Bekki's finest music ever and I don't see how she is going to surpass it. Recommended
unreservedly for those of you who like ultra-melodious and ultra-beautiful synth music.
Innersense is almost like a personal soundtrack to a sad but wonderful film because in
parts it is extremely orchestral. Possibly my favourite CD in my collection and certainly
in my opinion the best release on the constantly-impressive AD Music label. Full
marks." (Laurie Sachs.)
- "If music be the food of love... then the music in question has to be
"Innersense". What a fantastic CD this is. Tear-jerking, breath-taking and
heart-wrenching in all the right places, this is electronic music at its very best. This
beautiful album hasn't been off my stereo since I got it. Very, very highly
recommended!" (Mark Carlson.)
- "I put Innersense on in the car and started playing it on the way to the gym. By
the time I got there I was in pieces; never has an album (and moreover, one single track -
A Breath Away) had such an immediate effect on me. The breathtaking beauty and emotion
that was put into the record literally tore my heart out. I had to compose myself before
going into the gym and all I can say is a huge thank you to Bekki for sharing such
personal feelings with us through her music. To say I was waiting in anticipation of this
album is an understatement but it has truly exceeded even my high expectations. I simply
can't praise it enough!" (Martin C.)
- "This stunning, emotive music moved me to tears within the first 5 minutes, and
from there it took me through every emotion I think it's possible for a person to feel.
I'm finding it very difficult indeed to express just how special and beautiful I think the
music on this album is, but I hope that you (AD Music) will accept my heartfelt
thanks for publishing it. It's been a long wait for us fans, but boy has it been worth
it." (Erik D.)
- "Thank you for your beautiful album 'Innersense'. I took delivery of it this
morning and it's not been off my CD player for the best part of the day! 'A Breath Away'
and 'Secret Recesses of the Heart' are incredibly poignant tracks, each evoked something
very personal within me, whilst the track 'From the Ashes' brought a promise of hope and
new beginnings. I can appreciate that it has been a very long and emotional journey for
you in the creation of these works; it is evident throughout the whole album. It has guts,
intensity and most importantly for me - Soul. Thank you for sharing that. It's also great
to see a woman giving those EM blokes a run for their money again!" (Chris R.)
- "What a superb album! Obviously heartfelt but superb layers and textures and, dare
I say it, 'catchy tunes!' (that's the Geordie in me.) Anyway that's my first exposure to
Bekki's material but not the last. Hopefully there'll be a chance of seeing Bekki
perform live - wish I'd caught her last year." (Ian B.)
- "Innersense belongs in every collection regardless of personal preference. It is a
beautifully crafted album born from a moving and sad personal experience. Listening to the
cd is like reading a wonderful novel. One that the author takes you by the hand through a
remarkable journey of emotion and experience. Note by note you are drawn into her story
and you can visualize every moment of her experience. She is a rare and wonderful
talent." (Ken Onstad).
- "Devastatingly beautiful, and so emotive that I can't listen to it all in one
sitting without my heart breaking and a tear appearing in my eye. What an incredible
talent Bekki has, to be able to make her audience feel her own emotional experiences
through her music. Her best yet, without a shadow of doubt." (James McCarrick.)
- "My god, this woman knows how to write tunes. If you liked Bekki's previous two
albums, you are going to have an orgasm with this one. Trust me, I did." (Simon
Wysall.)
- "I was floored within the first few seconds by the sheer emotional content of the
first track, and by the time I'd heard the rest of the album I just sat there in total
silence. Never and I mean never has an album affected me in such a profound way. I almost
feel like I "know" Bekki now, that's how much of herself she has put into this
stunning work. Innersense is a very special album indeed." (Sarah Jenkins.)
