Review

Voce: Music from Women of the World contains a selection of songs from a diverse roster of female musicians. Many of these artists have a distinct spiritual or new age bent, or they're contemporary singer/songwriters. The end result is a record designed for sophisticated listeners with eclectic tastes -- the kind that would savor Deep Forest, Clannad, Loreena McKennitt, Dead Can Dance, Najma, This Hinojosa, Jane Siberry and Victoria Williams on one collection and would not care if the featured songs are not the best-known selections. And they will find that this disc is a good introduction to a bunch of provocative, innovative artists. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
