I wouldn't call myself a "hard-core" Yanni fan, but there have been times in my life that I have truly NEEDED Yanni music...
1. In college...great background study music 2. While in labor with my two children 3. When I need a "calming" influence amidst the chaos of motherhood.
Yanni Voices fits the bill when I need calming music. I wouldn't call it my FAVORITE CD, but it is impressive none-the-less.
I really did enjoy hearing lyrics to some of the Yanni classics. Instead of singing along with a "dah, dah, dah, dah, dah," I can actually sing the words. My favorite sing-a-long is "Before The Night Ends." The voices are beautiful. Some of the latin songs have a Josh Groban feel.
Overall, I'd say that if you are a fan of Yanni's previous work, this album is a must buy!
If you're not a hard-core fan, it's still a great album to have for those moments when you need something beautiful, soothing, calming, and even thought provoking. Yay for Yanni!
What's great about it: Great lyrics added to beautiful music
What's not so great: Not one I'll listen to OVER and OVER
