    Mira is amazing. I love her new album. The vocal harmonies are rainbow-like. A prism of sound and color.
    She has a truely rich, original and unique vioce that reminds me of a lot of different people, sometimes Kiki Dee, sometimes, Kate Bush, and Sheila Chandra.The arrangments are with an emhasis on world music, sometimes Irish/celtic, sometime oriental, sometimes far Eastern, sometimes spanish, blues, jazz. Mira can sing anything there is no doubt, and I’m sure major artist will be queued up to work with her. She has the ability to move between many worlds and her excellent English allows her to communicate to the world as a whole. I’m gald to see that Helicon are behind her but I feel she really belongs to Real-World, Peter Gabriels label. She belongs with the biggest and the best.
    Thanks Mira for all the inspiration.
    Lorraine.
