"UNFINISHED JOURNEY" Album Review:

On October 13th, 2006, Hannah Donald releases her debut album Unfinished Journey.

The album includes Hannahs early singles EYES WIDE OPEN and THINKING OF YOU; the rest of the album represents a step even further into a mature pop sensibility.

Enlisting the help of Evan Cooper (Detour) and Nic Manders (Brooke Fraser, Juliagrace, Nathan King) Hannah has crafted a truly versatile and accessible sound in Unfinished Journey.

The album strikes an exceptional mix of song and poetry, with brilliantly produced instrumentation from Cooper complemented by accomplished lyrics. From the melodic strength and emotional drive of opener SO LONG to the intricate closers BEAUITFUL CHILD and PORCELAIN, Donald wears her heart and her faith on her sleeve.

Unfinished Journey is an album that creates the perfect pop equation; songs infectious enough to woo the radio, and deep enough to engage the listeners heartstrings.
