Nóirín Ní Riain's debut solo album for Living Music, and the first contemporary production of her music, introduces the Celtic Singer in a new light. Singing in a personal style unique to herself, Nóiriín represents the confluence of several traditions, including sean nos (old style), classical and contemporary. Yet her singing defies categorization.
"Nóirín's art is a global one, celebrating the folklore of her homeland and the exotic beauty of Eastern melodies and instruments." (BILLBOARD MAGAZINE)
"Nóirín has, quite simply, broken new ground in fusing musical styles and sensibilities into something wild and wonderful. Her voice has to be heard to be appreciated." (MAGICAL BLEND)

"I was recently wondering how Irish music was going to evolve, with all its outstanding talents and wealth of songs. [...]. Here is a surprising and mind-blowing answer - as creative work should always affect us, widening our horizons and nourishing our hopes for the millennium to come. [...] One of the great albums of this end of the century!" (KINDRED SPIRIT)
"More substantial than the latest from Enya or Clannad, the tasteful instrumentation evokes the timeless, spectral quality of the Celts while Ní Riain's vocals soar effortlessly into the stratosphere and beyond. Highly recommended."
(CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL)
