Mischa Kaye is not only a talented classical singer but is also an actor, dancer and pianist. Misha recorded and released her current EP Angora in 2005 and is currently recording her full length album.
"I Stole Summer" has a catchy chorus. This song starts off more pop but half way through the electric guitar kicks in and creates a much needed change in dynamics. "I Stole Summer" is certainly the most appealing song on the record. - The Mag
Mischa Kaye's EP "Angora" is a sweet taste of a singer songwriter starting to bloom in her musical talent. All four tracks are grand and sweeping in their sound and Mischa's voice is strong in these four songs. She certainly has a strong sense of melody in her work. There isn't a weak track on this EP but my personal favourites are the lead track 'All The Way The Other Way' and the brilliant 'I Stole Summer'. The EP might be brief but it is quality that counts and this has it. Outstanding - CDBaby-Cecilia Pattison-Levi (BMA Canberra)
Mischa Kaye’s debut ep shows a lot of promise. She has a sweet voice and a capacity for writing great melodies.
The opener is grand and sweeping and her voice is lovely in this setting.
“Go On” is pretty and persuasive, Kaye singing in a moving fashion.
The ep is relatively brief but offers a stunning soundworld, from an artist whose full-length album should be a real treat.

Mischa Kaye - Angora (Self Released)
Mischa Kaye is an artist who is doing something different to a lot of singer songwriters and is very powerful enjoyable unique EP. Each song on this ep is beautifully crafted, well with beautiful dark melodies mixed with electronica beats and pianos and Mischa beautiful sweet voice. All The Way The Other Way starts off the ep with beautiful melodies and good solid harmonies with good lyrics and good vocals mixed with good use of strings makes it a good start to the ep and is one of my highlights. Go On is song with laidback beats and good beautiful melodies and honest lyrics and her voice shines and is a song that has been crafted well by Mischa. I Stole Summer is another highlight of the EP for me as it somewhat of a catchy song to me as I found myself humming and tapping away. It has good honest lyrics, good melodies and good harmonies. I could easily see this being played on radio. It is a really good song. Angora is the last song on the ep is a great song with dark beautiful melodies and some great keyboard playing and beautiful harmonies and great vocals and some good honest lyrics. I was quite impressed with the production values of this ep. This is a great little ep, which will see her get, some more fans, is a good thing that will tie you over until the release of her next album, Top stuff check out.
