The Most Beautiful Voice and Beautiful Collection I've Ever Owned
I bought this CD when it was first released many years ago and I waited for her next one--the problem is--Mica Paris has never been fully appreciated in the U.S. and I am from the U.S.--i just can't understand it. Her voice and music are exquisite--I have to believe it's the marketing. Her marketing team is not breaking into the U.S. music industry. It also may be that her music is hard to place, it's not hip hop, it's not pop, and it's not exactly R&B. How sad, beautiful music is beautiful music. I think when the U.S. market sees a Black singer they expect a certain sound. I wonder how many truly gifted artists are under appreciated and go unnoticed because their sound is outside of a fixed box.

Exquisite voice, heavenly production
This is an exquisite album by the velvety-voiced Mica Paris, with some hip production from the likes of Narada Michael Walden. It is a shame that US audiences haven't quite taken to Ms. Paris as they have to Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston, but then again, "British soul" is often a bit subtler than the US counterpart. Ms. Paris may not be "edgy" enough for the US market, but it doesn't mean that she is a poor singer- quite the contrary! Ms. Paris delivers on all of the tracks of Whisper a Prayer- the title track is a gentle gem!- showing incredible range and delicacy. Mr. Walden's production enhances her voice in way that is sparkling and soothing, and this collaboration turned out to be a great pairing on all the tracks of the disc. By far my favorite album from Ms. Paris, I would recommend this to anybody who wants a powerful, but not overbearing voice, with a production that is sharp and a pleasure to listen to. Mica Paris' "Whisper a Prayer" is a sonic work of art for all those ready to be enamored with her classy style and delivery.

SPEECHLESS
Speechless is what I was when I first heard this CD. From begining to end this recording makes me yearn for more. Mica is an artist that has not gotten her props. Just listen to "You Put a Move on My Heart", "Whisper a Prayer" and "Can't Seem to Make Up my Mind". These songs give you such depth of emotion that makes you sit there in awe. "You Put a Move on My Heart", which was later recorded by Tamia, cannot hold a candle to Mica's version. When listening to this recording I feel like she's singing to me. Mica, you definately put a move on my heart.
