Review by April Kranz & Staff
Multi-talented Annemarie Picerno has made waves throughout the pandemic with her music. As a Grammy member, award winner, singer, songwriter, and director, there’s just about nothing Picerno can’t do. And now in Nashville, she’s teaming up with singer-songwriter Matt Barfield on her latest release, "I Thank God For This Moment." Produced by legendary Bob McGilpin, this is a song that shines to the top in the month love. To start, this song is filled to the brim with inspiration from the blues, country, and gospel traditions. With classic gospel-tinged lyrics, we get to hear a powerhouse duet professing the song's message of lasting love and gratitude. Barfield starts off our first verse, thanking God for Picerno’s smile, while the next verse Picerno gives thanks for Barfield’s sweet songs. Yes, Picerno can sing any genre she chooses, but Picerno singing the country-gospel genre is truly a match made in heaven. Together the duo radiates romance, the kind that permeates from kindred spirits, soul-mates. “Thank God For This Moment
He's Shining his Light....on our Love
A precious gift in this Life... From Heaven above
Giving me you...I thank God For This Moment." (Lyrics and Music - Annemarie Picerno)
This Valentine’s Day we’ll be saying “sweet heavens” to this duo. If you’re looking to tell your love just how much they mean to you, or you want to nod your head to some good ol’ bluesy tunes, Picerno and Barfield will fulfill your heart and soul. And if you’re in neither camp, listen anyway because this song has it all: it grooves, it moves, and it spreads light, love, and hope. Picerno and Barfield are a must listen to in the month of love.
