Kaleidoscope

...she lets the listener into her intimate world without inhibitions. The velvety and smoky voice makes you feel as if you are suddenly dropped into a small jazz club where an artist gives the best of himself in the early hours, only for loyal customers after the main audience has long since left. From here on you are completely under her spell and you will never get home before dawn.
Georges Tonla Briquet, Jazz 'halo (Belgium)

With the release of her second recording, Mai-Liis has come into her own with a fresh set of tunes that are signature to her compelling musical storytelling. Through a voice that's uniquely hers, along with the ongoing writing partnership with composer/pianist Darin Clendenin, Mai-Liis' honest and understated delivery draws the listener in with its intimate calling, creating the feeling that you are who she is speaking to. With a great affinity for the works of Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, Kurt Weill, and Leonard Cohen, Mai-Liis' work harkens back to songwriters of an earlier time. She delivers songs that are vulnerable and relatable. She can swing and she can phrase. She is the real deal.
