“This French-Canadian Quebec City native delivers a home run on her first effort with the help of expert
arranger/musical director Vinny Raniolo, who has breathed new life into many of those old chestnuts, giving many
songs an exciting Latin flavor with a pulsing beat and palpable energy. When Ms. Phiro’s vocals, which bear the
distinction of sounding sensuously smoky and crystal clear at the same time […] the “Cure” that Porter was talking
about has been found. My worries dropped away, and I felt like I was on a vacation to some beautiful villa in France,
if not in Paris, at least Bordeaux.” -Jonathan Shade, Nite life exchange

“The versatile young singer is a pro with a special sound. The talented mezzo mixes her potions well, seemingly an
old soul as she sounds ensconced in a comfort zone with these older numbers. Without sounding self-consciously coy,
there’s a playfulness and eye-batting charm about her approach. She is disarming. Best of all, she sounds like she’s
well acquainted with the quainter items without sounding overly influenced by or aping those who came before her
with the well-traveled classics on Voyages set list. […] Myriam Phiro’s captivating vocal stylings and choices are
instantly attractive and reveal even deeper enjoyment factor on repeat plays. […] This is the kind of album you want
to keep in the player for frequent voyages, to sample Voyages many pleasures. It’s good company.” –Rob Lester, Talkin’
Broadway
“I fell in love with her the way I fell in love with Julie Delpy when she sang at the end of Before Sunset. Her voice is
not just beautiful. It’s also friendly and inviting, and at times intoxicating”
–Michael Doherty, Michael Doherty’s Music Log, 2015
“A true international star, Myriam sings the standards and the blues as well as anyone before us today – you just
haven’t heard this lush a sound in a long time. […] Sunshine and moonbeams from a great lady of song!”
-Grady Harp, Amazon, 2015
“she develops a character and works a lyric like a fine actress working her lines. […] Sometimes her vocal persona
seems so changed, so buried is the singer in character, it is as if another singer had taken over the mic. […] Songs
well sung: That’s Myriam Phiro’s recipe for her Voyages.” -Jack Goodstein, Blogcritics
“Myriam Phiro’s voice translates the tones of an era and the emotions that go with it. With the chosen songs, she
embodies the perfect re-enactment of a mix between Edith Piaf and Marilyn Monroe; deep, powerful, fun and sexy all
at once.” –Miguel Dominguez; NYC Culture & Style Magazine
“Her act is so wonderfully out of the ordinary, it doesn’t pay to even try and pigeon hole it. […] Sexy and sassy, this is
sure to stir some atavistic nerves in your psyche you might have not thought even existed. Well done.” –Chris Spector,
Midwest records
“Ms. Phiro generously plied us with one gorgeous song after another and impressed us with her expressivity and
vocal beauty. […] The evening was an effective portrayal of one woman’s conception of an artist’s life–lived fully, if
not wisely.” –Meche Kroop; Voce di Meche
