I first heard Marieann at the New York Mariott Marquee four years ago, and ever since I've been enamored with her voice. This CD has everthing from upbeat renditions of Broadway classics to amazing ballads. The pianist, bassist, and drummer on the album are phenomenal. Everything about this CD is perfect; don't hesitate to buy it or see her perform live!

I first heard Mareiann sing at a Unity Temple on the Plaza in Kansas City a few weeks ago. (She is also with a group called Spiritus.) She was so powerful I had to talk to her and discovered she has a CD coming out in a few months. Then, the next day I discovered she already had an earlier CD out. She is really terrific. She has the confidence and power of voice that you only hear with really great vocalists. She exudes a grasp of the emotions of each song. I put her up there with Barbara Streisand as a powerful performerâ€"really, give her a few years.... The Josh Groban of female singers! Or perhaps he is the Marieann Meringolo of male singers.... Bravo, Marieann!!!

Marieann has a style that compares to none-she has the emotion that is real ,straight from the heart,and her voice is a smooth velvelt quality with a wonderful range-she will MAKE IT and deserves to-thanks for this opportunity

This CD is one of the best CD's I've ever listened to! And I'm not saying that because Marieann is my cousin either. She's a talanted singer who's worked so hard at her career and deserves all the happiness in the world. I'm sure you'll all love this CD as much as I do! I listen to it every single day and I never get tired of it either. She has that kind of a voice that you'd want to listen to all of the time. Anyway, buy her CD you'll be amazed! :)

Marieann Meringolo's stylings are fresh, unique and emotional. Her standards are reinterpreted by her velvety voice to bring a subtle, calm elegance to their meanings. She will be known as one whose quiet strength inspires and delights.

EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO THIS CD I GET CHILLS UP AND DOWN MINE SPINE. THE VOCALIZATION AND MUSICALITY OF THIS SINGER'S FIRST CD EQUALS IF NOT SUPERSEDES THAT OF OTHER ARTISTS.

Marieann Meringolo has such a wonderful warmth and feeling to her voice, it is filled with passion and sincerity so rarely found in vocalists today. I love every song on this disc, I look forward to her future recordings.
