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 it's 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.
