Since graduating from London’s prestigious Guildhall College of Music ,Mishka has honed not only her vocal skills, but as is clear from this new album she has also developed admirably her compositional and arranging skills. Here she puts her indelible stamp on a hand picked collection of songs internationally known and loved. Here” Star Eyes” gets a pulsating Bossa Nova treatment ,while the groovy Benny Golson classic “Whisper Not” and the poignant rendition of “Stranger in the Shore” emphasise the lyrics to great effect.

Other highlights showcase Mishka’s passion for the” Great French songbook”as she sings “Sous le ciel de Paris” in it’s native tongue and likewise Chico Barque’s masterpiece “Beatriz” . Another landmark album from this Anglo-Filipina artist.

Refreshingly unpretentious and just plain talented, Filipino-English songwriter Mishka Adams makes light work of creating listenable, jazz influenced originals and tasteful standards. ~Time Out, London

'Mint for the mind - balmy and calming...' said the Manila Times on reviewing Mishka's first album. Indeed! This captivating young Anglo-Filipina blessed with that kind of delicate husky voice so pleasing to the ear. As she sings, she blends this roundness and pureness with her impeccable clarity of enunciation and innate ability to interpret songs to wonderful effect. These qualities are abundant in this album which has Miss Adams singing with top musicians both from both continents. Mishka puts her 'gentle subversion' to terrific use in this collection of standards all delivered with a style and panache for which she is becoming more and more renowned.~Editorial Reviews http://www.amazon.com/Willow-Weep-For-Mishka-Adams/dp/B0037FFAWI .
