Miriam

"Miriam" is the debut solo album by South African-born British singer Miriam Stockley, released in 1999 by Virgin Records. This album is an exceptionally complex and versatile release that covers so many genres it is almost impossible to categorise. "I've worked with five different composers, all of whom have influenced the album to various degrees," Miriam Stockley explains. "It doesn't fit into any bag. It has elements of a contemporary classical album but encompasses a much wider variety of musical styles which reflect me as a contemporary songwriter and performer." Stockley adds that after completing the third Adiemus album she felt the time was right to expand her musical audience. "I have always written from a contemporary standpoint, not a classical one, and I wanted this album to have a contemporary edge that would appeal to a much wider audience,"
