Search - Miria :: Under the Surface

"Miria is an alternative pop-rock singer/songwriter from chilly New England, now making soothing and occasionally subversive music in sunny LA. In "Under the Surface", her debut album, Miria's thoughtful lyrics, intimate vocals and entrancing melodies reveal the brilliance of a highly original creative mind. Fans of Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple, Paula Cole, Sarah MacLachlan, Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette and Liz Phair will find something to like here: Miria has a sense of humor and a refreshingly unique perspective: few artists could produce both "Pop Star" - an addictive pop song about pop-star wannabes (I'm feeling so marketable today / I'm feeling sexy in a commercial kind of way / I'm feeling pretty on the outside) and "Keep Asking Why" - an inspired and inspiring melody about Einstein's first wife, Mileva. An intelligent and introspective artist with catchy hooks; Miria has a lot to say and with alternative / art-rock / literate-pop as her chosen medium, we're guessing this is just the tip of the iceberg - there's lots more going on "Under the Surface."Visit: http://www.miriamusic.com or http://www.myspace.com/miriamusicMiria is also a co-founder and director of the Los Angeles Women's Music Festival.
