    Even at its most heartbreaking, embraced for a second as we die reminds us to inhale life and that clarity and connection, however brief, can still be found.

    Allow Embraced For A Second As We Die to wash over you and it's superior AOR. .... Given time though, Bergman's melodies and phrasing come to fore, revealing the strength of her writing. [Mar 2026, p.102]

    Curiously retro-sounding production and accompaniment. .... Her gift for infectious topline melodies manages to transcend such stylistic quirks. [Feb 2026, p.31]
