press quotes:
"Thorpe's mastery of the keys is comparable to Sarah McLachlan and Norah Jones, while her breathy, airy vocal style is reminiscent of Enya and Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer. ...Adrina Thorpe is destined for bigger and better things and could well lead the next generation of pianists/storytellers." MUSIC CONNECTION MAGAZINE "Compelling Southern California singer/songwriter/pianist Adrina Thorpe offers mesmerizing down-tempo rock-folk-pop. Though you may detect echoes of Tori Amos and other musical icons, Thorpe's lovely voice and profoundly moving songs enable her to carve a niche all her own. "Round the Bend" is an exquisite, soaring creation. Thorpe appears to be a talent on the brink of a major breakthrough.” –Palo Alto Daily News "an impressive debut album, packed with thoughtful songs that are beautifully written, beautifully arranged, beautifully performed and beautifully sung. Drawing deep from the well of a host of great singer-songwriters, from Carole King through to Tori Amos, Thorpe succeeds without ever freefalling into the all too common trap of imitation. Rather, the album portrays a noble interplay of heritage and influence, and it's to startling effect. ...With lots more songs where these came from, Thorpe looks set to have a long and prosperous career." -thetrousers.co.uk

official bio
Singer/songwriter and pianist, Adrina Thorpe, is a refreshing sound in adult alternative pop. Her style reflects the softer side of music, with a haunting voice and a delicate touch at the piano. Adrina has been writing songs almost as long as she can remember. Her first song was written on a rainy car ride home when she was six about a friend who moved away without saying goodbye. Hearing the hum of the car’s engine and looking out through the rain soaked glass, Adrina was inspired with her first song and found it brought teardrops to her eyes. From that day on, Adrina's love of the more introspective melancholy song was established, as Adrina's list of favorite artists goes to show... with inspiration from artists like Sarah McLachlan, Coldplay, & Five for Fighting as well as by the symphonic and dramatic elements of classical music and pop opera. Adrina’s sound carries a unique flavor which can probably be attributed to the fact that during Adrina's formative years she was completely immersed solely in classical music and musical theater. Adrina spent several years competing and winning several piano competitions, but it was truly the love of writing and singing that held a special place in her heart. Taking a songwriting class in Los Angeles, her instructor and classmates encouraged her to put out an album and a few months later, Adrina Thorpe’s debut album, “elusive” was released. Adrina’s album has gained an incredible underground following. Podshow.com says “with the voice of an "With the voice of an angel, Adrina's debut cd "Elusive" has kept her constantly in the Top 10 podsafe played songs.” Her songs have been licensed by Lifetime Cable and Warner Bros in film, tv, and online as well as by a number of independent filmmakers. The album also recently got Adrina Thorpe noticed by DJ Shah and Armin Van Buuren (ranked 1 DJ in world) of Armada records. Adrina was asked to write a song for Armin Van Buuren's "A State of Trance 2007" CD with DJ Shah whose last collaboration was done with Sarah Mclachlan when he remixed Mclachlan's "Wintersong" album. Armin Van Buuren called “Who Will Find Me” (Adrina’s first trance collaboration) his favorite song of the year in a blog on his website. Further trance collaborations are in the works. Currently, Adrina is in studio completing her sophmore album with producer Filippo Gaetani. The album will be released very soon. Look for thicker symphonic arrangements, some darker themes, pinpoints of light, and haunting melodies. She is very excited and can’t wait to share it with you. Adrina's debut album, "elusive" is full of intricate, poignant, honest, and gentle emotion. The initial release is almost sold out as we speak. Delicate piano melodies and lush vocals weave in and out of each other, drifting amid the punchy bass and drum lines. Like paper-thin china...like sunrise on the gray ocean waves...Adrina's melodies captivate listeners with their distinct beauty and her songs find their way into the deepest crevices of the heart.

self bio
"Emptiness inspires me. Silence beckons me, thrills me, fills me with ideas. Vacant amphitheaters, like a blank canvas of delight, dazzle me with visions only I seem to see... I love to write... it's a passion I've had since I was very little. Melodies are all little miracles, and the perfect arrangements are like discovering heaven. I hope I can contribute beauty to the silence in the air. It's such an ache... to create something truly beautiful... you have no idea how many little melodies have flitted from my mind onto the same tape player I've had since I was hardly ten years old. Even though I've had the opportunity to work with several top notch producers, that beat up little tape recorder always ends up being more convenient at the moment of inspiration. My favorite place to stand is right under the stage of a giant amphitheater, looking out over the seas of empty chairs... envisioning a stage of lights and sound ...becoming lost in the swirl of it all, singing for the world to hear. Its the most exciting spot in the whole world to me." - Adrina
