Reviews:

Water and Fire

"jazz with world music leanings,transcendental style of pop singing...Rae's eclecticism is certainly admirable..embraces traditional Middle Eastern and Jewish music..Rae is quite capable of becoming better known in both jazz and world music circles."

Heartsong Review

"This classically trained flutist advances a highly accessible listening experience..she sings about the love and the eternal expressiveness of the soul..somewhere between a classical form and a new found New Age Broadway musical."
