There is only one other artist that i can think of that would evoke such a sublime mesmery over me and Hildegaard von Bingen was she. Now someone else has taken over. Listen to it and you will see. As pretty as she is, her voice 10/fold.Free Music Review: Beautiful Voice and music

When I first saw this CD, and saw that the artist was the soloist in the choir that sang in "Riverdance", I had to have it, since I was so entranced with the choral pieces in that show. I was blown away! Like my other favorite female vocalist, Miriam Stockley, she has entered the pantheon of great female vocalists with an astounding debut album. Her voice has the delicate, youthful, innocent quality of Charlotte Church combined with the mesmerizing clarity of Loreena McKinnet and the Brennan sisters (Enya and Maire). If you are looking for the raw, window -shattering power of Celine ,Miriam or Barbra,or the theatrical expressiveness of Kate Bush and Sarah Brightman, she might disappoint; her voice is very steady, very polished, very delicate, and real candy for the ear! But, although the aforementioned divas could sing these songs passably I'm sure, Meav's angelic voice fits them like a glove; British Isles music needs clear and resonant voices like Meav, Enya, Maire, Maddie Pryor, June Tabor or Kate Rusby to sound really good. To me, it is useless to say that her version of "Marble Halls" is better or worse than Enya's; they are both awesome! Meav's is just different; minus all that vocal layering, it is less dreamy but more fresh (and Enya sure can't hit those high notes). Her luscious treatment of Grieg's "Solvieg's Song" is astounding, and I am a Grieg lover!The songs "Im a Doun" and "One I Love" give a tantalizing hint of how incredibly wondrous her voice sounds like harmonized, which is partly what drew me to Enya and Miriam in the first place (please, more harmonies on the next album!) My favorite song is, alas, the shortest; "Si do Mhaimeo", proof that Meav can sing a rollicking traditional jig with the best of them (shades of Battlefield Band, Capercallie and old Claanad). Altogether, a spellbinding debut from a woman who, along with an incredible voice, also happens to be stunningly good-looking (I can't get my eyes off that cover!).Free Music Review: What a Find!

I heard this CD in a bookstore and immediately knew I had to have it. It is the most beautiful CD I've ever heard and has been in constant play since I received it nearly a week ago. Meav, the lead singer of the Irish group, Anuna, sings like an angel. Her voice is so pure, so soft, so beautiful. She sings I DREAMT I DWELT IN MARBLE HALLS as if the song was written just for her. From the traditional songs to Loreena McKennitt's DANTE'S PRAYER her selection of tunes is magnificent. The liner notes reveal Meav was a part of the original Dublin and London runs of RIVERDANCE as well as the original run at New York's Radio City. She was the sole vocalist with the Irish National Concert Orchestra during its 1997-98 US Tour. This is her debut solo CD and should appeal to fans of Enya and Loreena McKennitt, as well as anyone fond of hauntingly beautiful music of any type.
