World Fusion meets ambient and melodic bliss, this is Irina at her finest.
Irina Mikhailova delivers profound vocals transcending the boundaries of culture and human experience ranging from intimate to adventurous, trancey and hypnotic. It’s like brightly colored veils slowly swirling in warm evening winds, heavy with the scents of faraway caravans. Irina is a cross-pollinating vocalist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist whose musical style reflects the rich traditions of Russia, the Middle East, and Asia. Rich with the multi-ethnic sounds that surrounded her childhood, and the power and depth of her own soul, she lends her warm and other-worldly vocals to an eclectic range of music from classical to traditional, as well as electronic and other crossover genres. She has worked and recorded with an amazing cast of musicians, including Medicine Drum, Toires, Hamza El Din, ABA Structure, and Seb Taylor.

This collaboration album between Irina Mikhailova and reknowned producer B.Smiley (Todd Christensen) holds no punches and the track Om Tare has become somewhat of a world music anthem now found on many videos and documentaries.
The voice of Irina Mikhailova is one that has defined what earth and soul sound like, combine that with Todd Christensen aka B.Smiley’s production values and we have a unique experience in sound that will bring delight to most audiences.
“The exotic and haunting vocal style of Irina Mihkailova is the ladle that stirs this melting pot of cross cultural influences. Ancient sounds mix with contemporary techno beats to create an aural ambrosia that is intoxicating.”
