On The Way finds Abra Moore completely at ease in her own skin and voice. It's a ferociously quiet album that unfolds gently but packs an emotional wallop with its unwavering honesty. It's an album full of subtle moods. There's always been an atmospheric quality to Moore's writing - maybe that's why Hollywood keeps seeking out her music. Moore's songs have appeared in more than 25 films and television shows including Cruel Intentions, Sliding Doors (with Gwenyth Paltrow), Happy Texas, Party of Five, Dawson's Creek, Felicity and Melrose Place. Her song "Big Sky" was used in the super-hot video game The Sims with one little twist--she had to rerecord all the vocals in Simlish, the language used in the game.



In many ways, On The Way captures the cinematic magic of a great film. From the opening seduction of "Into The Sunset" to the closing reprise of the title track, it transports the listener to a different space. It's a roll-the-windows-down-and-drive kind of record. "Making this record I found the sweet balance," says Moore. "My life is good and happy. These songs are little snapshots of where I'm at. I tried to capture and present these experiences as honestly as I could. If you just stay honest and true, you'll connect with the listeners. You become part of their lives. That's a privilege you can't take for granted."

Reveling in the sheer joy of making music, living in the moment and enjoying the process is an integral part of Moore's journey. That's why On The Way is so aptly titled. It's all about the journey--life unfolding in all its mystery, agony and majesty. True art holds a mirror up and reflects back the hard truths, as well as the ones that enlighten. On The Way is a masterpiece of mood and honesty from one of the preeminent artists working in popular music.
