Britain's Glasswerk calls Abizaid, 'all the warmth of a cup of hot chocolate and the magic of a fireworks display,' and Paul Fleck, former Executive Director of Marketing of Paramount Pictures' Motion Picture Group, states, 'This Life is unquestionably her most accomplished work to date, with already-classic tracks entitled 'Undivided,' 'Wash Me,' and, well�actually, every single track on the album is fantastic.'
There are countless singers who lend their voice to an infinite number of anonymous TV gigs, but Abizaid is recognized with a voice that resonates above the crowd with an adventurous spirit that makes her albums unpredictable and mesmerizing.
