Orianthi:Believe II
The CD is the sequel to her 2009 release, Believe. It features three hit singles, "Shut Up and Kiss Me," and "According to You" and a cover of the John Waite song, "Missing You." With her mind-blowing mix of heavy metal guitar prowess and bluesy soulful vocals, Orianthi has earned some justifiable comparisons to rock legend Jimi Hendrix and her own idol Carlos Santana.

Recommended Tracks
The song, "Shut Up and Kiss Me", is an upbeat rock lament about getting someone you love to be obedient to your demands. The track that is recommended for getting a real taste of Orianthi's heavy metal pulsating, wailing guitar licks is the instrumental song, 'Highly Strung." "According To You" is the rock-anthem of all time and will no doubt will be a widely popular favorite when she performs it at her concerts. The power-pop ballad, "Courage" really shows-off her talented vocal range as well as the songs, "Believe" and her cover version of the John Waite song, "Missing You." The CD also contains the bonus track, "Find It."
All the tracks on the album are well-crafted. Each song flows into the next and none of them is the typical "bubble gum" pop. It's a modern mix of pop, heavy metal combined with a forceful edge, and a hint of soul and blues thrown in. Fans of Orianthi or Michael Jackson will love this album.

You made it so easy to fall I had no fear at all
I saw you beside me you never saw me there at all
I promised you all this
I made plans thinking this was it
But never imagined
I'd find you and lose myself instead
I just never pictured it would end
And I, I wanna believe in love
I wanna believe in something bigger than the two of us (the two of us)
And I, I wanna breathe again
I wanna go back to the days
The days I had my innocence
I wanna believe again
I picked up the pieces
And put them back where they belonged
But something's missing
But part of me will carry on
Yeah, I'm gonna learn to trust again
And I, I wanna believe in love
I wanna believe in something bigger than the two of us (the two of us)
And I, I wanna breathe again
I wanna go back to the days
The days I had my innocence
I wanna believe again
And I, I wanna believe in love
I wanna believe in something bigger than the two of us
And I, I wanna breathe again
I wanna go back to the days
The days I had my innocence
I wanna believe again (I wanna believe)
I wanna believe again (I wanna believe)
I wanna believe again
LOVE,
Andy
