***EL***
Forbidden Love is the synergistic combination of "EL" Gambardella, and AleX Westerberg. Together these two talented artists have a high energy sound filled with sincere emotion and depth, elements we so appreciated hearing in the context of a hot dance mix.
The debut dance release "Forbidden Love" is an excellent, well written combination of powerful beautiful vocals, sultry whispers, and high energy music, and will have you moving on the dance floor and pulling your partner just a little closer while you mimic the whispers of ....." do you love me?"

NY Rock Street Beat, Bill Ribas - CD Single Review - "My Inspiration" and "Precious Love" are big new age numbers, that sound like background music in that movie where Tom cruise was trying to save a Unicorn. The other is a cover of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit," done in a kind of Yanni meets Depeche Mode style. New age stuff ain't really for me, but it's done well here, and if your're the type that's into crystals and dreamcatchers, this is up your alley....nyrock.com
Forbidden Love, vocals is the power behind the music this consumes your soul like a fire out of control, sensual whispers of "do you love me" burns with desire. This song is hot! You have a voice and gift that pierces to the very heart and soul and touches people through such a beautiful voice and in such a significant way.
