Experience The Music of Soraya Shaw....
“Luminous...shimmering...stimulating...pure
intoxicating jazz!”
What the critics are
saying about Soraya's Smooth Jazz Album ‘Daydreams’:
“(Soraya's) voice, with it's velvety tones, is reminiscent of singer Astrud Gilberto who popularized the famous Brazil 66 sound. You can buy her CD and play it during those endless freeway commutes. It may just change the way you feel about the road ahead.” — Sandy Robins,
Gazette Newspaper
“The opening cut, ‘Daydream’ immediately
displays the singer’s range and chops, her pure, sweet, expressive voice soaring over a light Latin
rhythm. ‘I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart’ is jaunty and jovial,
while ‘Caravan’ is more on the intense, soulful side. Add some non-Ellington items, like Fats
Waller’s ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’ and a most sensual ‘Body and Soul’ and you have a first-rate, quite refined
effort.”- Steve Eddy, Orange County Register
“The CD, ‘Daydreams’ features (Soraya) Shaw’s gauzily
ethereal soprano voice... a sensuous program of jazz standards...” – Paul
Andersen, Long Beach Press Telegram
“..(Soraya) Shaw’s soprano delivery, while bold and confident with seamless
phrasing, remains cool....ballads and up-tempo swingers are interpreted through
crystal clear lyrics and rich, accurate sonority....” – Jim Santella,
L.A. Jazz Scene
“Once in a while, you come across a
singer whose voice manages to catch your ear and turn your head. Such are
the soprano tones that Soraya Shaw uses in her renditions of classic
jazz songs. Unlike most classically trained singers, she doesn’t overpower
you with the trills that she can do; rather, she has come up with an
ethereal style that bristles with sensuality. Ultimately candlelit and romantic, it
is definitely music to put you in the mood for more amorous pursuits. Don’t say
I didn’t warn you.” – Paul Andersen,
Entertainment
Today
“The result is an alluring collection of jazz
standards delivered by (Soraya) Shaw’s smooth and eloquent style.
Her classical training shows in the vocal range and expression
she exhibits throughout the CD.
” – Brian Brannon, Sun Newspaper
“...silky songstress...” – Steve Eddy, Orange County Register
