Many Worlds Are Born Tonight is the crowning masterpiece album from enigmatic songwriter Happy Rhodes. Rhodes, who lives a simple, quiet life in rural upstate New York with her husband, is one of the greatest secret gems ever to grace the musical world.
Her perfect four-octave range voice will capture you with its immediate brilliance and carry you away with its seductive depths. No other singer, regardless of genre, can compete with Rhode's sultry lows, which bring to mind Annie Lennox and David Bowie. Her angelic high range is tinged with the essence of Kate Bush, strangely operatic, infinitely gorgeous.
It is almost impossible to listen to Happy Rhodes's music and resist becoming one of her underground legion of fans, who are known affectionately as Ectophiles. Named after Happy's fourth album, the Ecto mailing list began in 1991 (as an offshoot of a Kate Bush Internet newsgroup) following Happy's music and expanded to encompass music with female vocals, intelligent songwriting, and innovative sounds.
Happy's music, the leader of the Ecto music trend, has created a diverse independent listener base around the world.
Rhodes is a storyteller, creating captivating environments in each song. Travel the musical journey of Many Worlds Are Born Tonight, and join the independent revolution.

PULSE! (John Diliberto), August 1998 -- Happy Rhodes is an upstate New York singer-songwriter and vocal chameleon who has been working an extraordinary magic for years on 10 self-produced albums.

At times her voice is knowing, poignant and serene, ascending into choirs, then whispering huskily into your ear that “Everything I do is madness.” Rhodes has always delved into dark, interior states of mind, often arising out of a troubled childhood. Orchestrating a textured electronica landscape, she makes inquiries into God, existence and on “100 Years” computer games. Swampy, distorte
