Mira Craig – Mira Mira
Mira Craig is a half Norwegian half American, half white half black model, singer, songwriter and producer. Her debut album came out last earlier this year only in a limited number of Eurpean countries due to the fact that she personally produced her album via her owned production company ‘Homemade’. Mira was previously featured on Snoop Dogg’s track ‘Sisters and Brothers’ and had a duet with Wyclef Jean.
Mira’s album is so fresh, I’ve heard people label her voice as a mixture of Pink and Amerie, while I thought at some instances that she sounded so much like Sean Paul – in a good way. Mira’s voice can go so deep and then just switch to high tones. I couldn’t come up with a better description of Mira’s music than the one I found at MIC Norway:
one comes to see that her newly released debut record Mira Mira, is more than just a collection of songs aimed at dance floors, even if that is its immediate intention. It is, in fact, a statement incorporating her whole background and with an overall guiding theme. Her songs vary greatly and the record constitutes a mix so diverse it is evident that there lies careful consideration behind her blends, contrasts, themes and breaks. –It is not simply the result of diverse musical influences that actually come together in a person, but rather a conscious attention towards creating a composite entirety. The record incorporates American, Caribbean and African beats, elements of Japanese, and not least Norwegian, traditional folk music, as well as other disparate ingredients.
What I thought is awesome in Mira Mira is how each song could be interpreted to have its own storyline and universe. I am so obsessed with Mira Craig, I hope it doesn’t take long until she gets a contract with an international record label.
