Mimi Page CD Review of Breathe Me In

 
Upon listening to Mimi Page’s new CD Breathe Me In, I got the immediate sense of soothing, languid music with splashes of her mesmerizing voice.  This rising star has already scored internet and TV buzz with her track This Fire.  It went viral and debuted on MTV’s The Real World – Las Vegas.  This Fire also soared up the charts to land #1 on Amazon.com and #11 on iTunes.
She is back with a strong, haunting plethora of finely-tuned tempo-pop songs.  If you are a fan of Sarah McLachlan, Fiona Apple, Kate Bush, Coldplay, Moby and Dead Can Dance (to name a few), then give this lady a listen!  Her voice is instantly likeable and unique.  While paying homage to those aforementioned performers, she tweaks the electronic/synth melodies to make them her own.  The lyrics are raw and heartfelt with relatable titles, especially to those artists working their craft here in La La Land.  Pay close attention to the piano-infused All I Need, The Starving Artist, and Jigsaw.  She incorporates guitar and violin into the songs Colorblind and Black Valentine.  However, Mimi Page saves the best for last in the title track Breathe Me In.
I imagine listening to Breathe Me In while milling about the house or driving up the Central Coast.  Her ethereal voice is perfect when one wants to decompress from a stressful day.  This CD is good for your musical soul.  If you want to listen beyond this CD, she has an EP called A Lullaby For The Lonely.  But, to my delightful surprise, she does an excellent cover of Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game which I highly recommend.
