Surprisingly Interesting
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will start by saying I have had no previous expereince with Yanni's music, I've always known him as some new Age instrumental guy, but never really followed him. So, this CD was really a happy surprise. I liked knowing that the artists were asked to write their own lyrics to Yanni's instrumentals, a nice collaberative effort. Right off, the first track Omaggio grabbed my attention because it was so uplifting. Nathan Pacheco's voice really blends well with the instrumentals. I also liked the 2nd track with Leslie Mills, The Keeper. It's really upbeat and snappy and kept my attention. I found Chloe's song Set Me Free to be a nice ballad that was both relaxing and a bit haunting. It is definitely on of the more contemporary songs on the CD. While I love Ender Thomas' voice, I was sad that both of his songs were sung in Spanish. I would have like to hear him sing something more contemporary in English. All in all the Cd is a nice, relaxed listen that I would enjoy in an adult setting, like at a casual dinner party or as background music in a nice restaurant. There was a point halfway through when I thought the songs kind of started to sound the same, but I will definitely keep this CD around for moments when I need to bring the stress level down.

Relaxing and Calming Vocals!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The CD. “Yanni Voices”, has four talented young singers: Leslie Mills, Chloe, Ender Thomas, and Nathan Pacheco. They are awesome and their voices are clear and pure. They make perfect complement to Yanni's distinctive instrumentals. Grammy-winning producer Ric Wake put together an arrangement of young talent who teamed with Yanni perform awesome music together. The music was very calming & relaxing and had plenty of upbeat moments. Yanni never seemed to care if anyone reinterpret his music vocals, until this album “Yanni Voices”. The DVD was fun to watch and complimented the CD by giving the background story. I've always been a fan of Yanni's new age music and this CD takes it to a different level. My favorite singer on this recording is Nathan Pacheco with songs like, the breathtaking beautiful "Unico Amore" and "Amare Di Nuovo". A couple of my favorite songs are, "Kill Me With Your Love" by Chloe and “The keeper” by Leslie Mills. This CD has an eclectic style to it and containing anywhere from Spanish love songs to songs with a pop sound. This is a nice relaxing combination of vocals and instrumentals that I recommend whole heartily. The CD/DVD combo makes this album a great value.

Yanni + Voices = Good music!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Back in the 90's, my very 1st boyfriend introduced me to the world of Yanni. I thought he was weird at first, considering he was a punk rock kind of guy and didn't expect that he would ever like music like Yanni's. But surprisingly enough, I fell in love with Yanni's music. I like the mixture of vocals with Yanni's orchestration, as it mixes the two worlds of the young and the old. (Not that I'm saying that symphonic music is only meant only for the old!) The melodies are wonderful and incredibly relaxing. The voices of these young artists definitely work well with the beautiful instrumental music. I like "Set me Free", sounds like something you would hear on mainstream radio (similar to Dido's music). "Before the Night Ends", "The Keeper", "Never Leave the Sun" and "Kill me With your Love" are really good songs too. I can see "Our Days" being picked for a soundtrack for a movie, maybe the upcoming "New Moon" movie from the Twilight series?? "1001" and "Moments Without Time" are classic Yanni songs that will relax you and helps create a serene environment. All the other songs are alright, not really my kind of music, but a great mix of different types of music overall.

A Pleasant Surprise
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never having listened to Yanni's music, I wasn't sure what to expect from Yanni Voices, a collaboration between the veteran instrumentalist and four young vocalists. Adjectives I would use to describe the songs include soaring, passionate, energetic, and rich. Nathan, Chloe, Ender, and Leslie are not only amazing vocalists, they also wrote the lyrics to the songs they sing. I have enjoyed this CD and listen to it a lot while working on the computer or in the car. It has a unique sound and the different songs and vocalists compliment each other well. The biggest surprise has been my kids' reaction to the music. I watched part of the PBS concert the night it premiered and set it to record. Even when I was listening from the next room, my kids were still watching and dancing. They loved it! The next night they played the concert again and staged a show of their own. We all have our personal favorites, which interestingly enough include each of the singers. When we get into the car, my kids ask to play the CD.

Yanni--Your Everyday Calming Influence
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wouldn't call myself a "hard-core" Yanni fan, but there have been times in my life that I have truly NEEDED Yanni music... 1. In college...great background study music 2. While in labor with my two children 3. When I need a "calming" influence amidst the chaos of motherhood. Yanni Voices fits the bill when I need calming music. I wouldn't call it my FAVORITE CD, but it is impressive none-the-less. I really did enjoy hearing lyrics to some of the Yanni classics. Instead of singing along with a "dah, dah, dah, dah, dah," I can actually sing the words. My favorite sing-a-long is "Before The Night Ends." The voices are beautiful. Some of the latin songs have a Josh Groban feel. Overall, I'd say that if you are a fan of Yanni's previous work, this album is a must buy! If you're not a hard-core fan, it's still a great album to have for those moments when you need something beautiful, soothing, calming, and even thought provoking. Yay for Yanni!

Yanni brings more than cool piano styllngs Voices
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received a copy of Yanni Voices today, and although I am not a Yanni regular, I did find the music captivating. As a mother of two, and yoga teacher I am always looking for new music to incorporate into life and work. While this CD may contain a reworking of Yanni instrumentals, it was the luxuriant, rich voices that really stuck out. I call this a mini eclectic mix because there are three different sounds notable on the CD, a Middle Eastern & Asian sound in songs like Our Days, that would work well for a yoga flow class, rich Spanish lyrics in tracks such as Mas Alla, and an adult, or mature pop style in tracks like The Keeper. If you like Vanessa Carlton, Enrique Igelsias, Sarah Brightman and Pavarotti, you may like this CD. I know this is one I can safely pop in the car without worry in front of my kids and mother, but also enjoy!

SOARING VOICES
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yanni has had an amazing career so far and now he teams up with Grammy-winning producer, Ric Wake, to showcase four new vocalists who contributed to writing the songs on this cd. They were encouraged to write for the songs that moved them most. And, for me, that would be all of them as I enjoyed this cd from start to finish. The four talented vocalists are Nathan Pacheco, Ender Thomas, Leslie Mills and Chloe and they blend seamlessly with Yanni's compositions. I especially love "Omaggio", "Amare di Nuovo", "Orchid" and the Indian accented "Our Days". I love the mix of Spanish, Italian and English. This cd with its bonus dvd is calm and peaceful yet alive with feeling. It is reflective and meditative. It connects me to a deeper place within. There is enough variation to enjoy here but overall there is a mood created. It is reminiscent of Andrea Bocelli with hints of Enya. When I listen, I feel I am on the back porch gazing out at a limitless blue sky. There is a Japanese garden where koi are swimming and the I'm sipping some Earl Grey tea. The moment is now and everything feels right with the world. Bravo artists! The Yanni voices world tour began April 10, so if you like this music, head out and experience it live!
