Aug 15, 2014Somewhere between Billie Holliday and Tracy Chapman with a glimpse of Mississippi delta comes enigmatically from mysterious Finnish-Ethiopian artist. Music is simple and pure, what hold album together are the lyrics. Mirel is a wonderful story-teller while stories themselves are terrifying. "In My Father's House" is the number one story here.

Aug 25, 2014It’s hard to strike a balance in music between the sound of isolation and the connection to an audience. Mirel Wagner finds that tether more often than not on this album, but sometimes it’s so dark that that tie is hard to see.

Aug 14, 2014When The Cellar Children See the Light of Day is an excellent record, and one which reinforces the role artists like Mirel Wagner and her like can still have in a modern music setting.
