American music journalist Alexandra Ivanoff describes Parisa Arsalani’s singing as: “Parisa Arsalani’s voice is an unparalleled and distinctive one: sonorous, radiant, dolorous, possessing a kaleidoscope of color–the colors of an exotic land, the amber hues of love lost, and the poetry of dreams both realized and unfulfilled. Though still young, her voice speaks like an old soul with roots attached to many previous centuries. Her technical range is extraordinarily wide:
she moves from executing the tricky ululations of Azeri folk idioms to the sultry, bluesy phraseology of the West. The thing that makes her leap out of the crowd in her genre is the clarity of her diction coupled with the extraordinary depth of sound, so that her voluptuous vocalism is capable of projecting both a powerful presence and intimacy at the same time.”
