“The title track Can You See Me? opens proceedings in the most delightful and charismatic manner. Even from her opening bars you know that you are in the presence of someone special, and then the way Maya Rae uses her voice, which can only be described as an opaque mix of satin and lace; is spell-binding at times.”

“This album showcases a young artist with an old soul and a secure sense of self, space and symbolism.”

“The Songs are all expertly played, performed and recorded, and show a bright future for a talent who has already delivered much.”

“When you put her natural vocal gifts in a room of seasoned musicians in Nashville, at the Henhouse Studio, only good things can arise.”

“‘Can you See Me?’ is a slick, versatile, and enjoyable record that mixes jazz, Americana, blues, and soul with confidence, highlighting the charm, confidence, and talent of Maya Rae.”

“The title track “Can You See Me?” opens the album with a broad smile of a welcome, an invitation to stay a little longer, to join the party, grab a drink and leave your coat over there somewhere. In uncertain times it’s hugely satisfying to be made to feel this much at home.”

“Maya’s vocals are exceptionally pure, with articulation and phrasing that exceedingly belie her youth. Even the lyrics depict a maturity that’s remarkable and her pure alto voice is comparable to the very early Emmylou.”

“Like a later day Joni Mitchell meets Rickie Lee Jones.”

“For all believers in the intrinsic power of a fine song passionately sung.”
