This is a time when the title truly does say it all. Yanni's Voices finds the contemporary instrumental composer collaborating with singers for the first time, and if that wasn't enough of a risk, Yanni and producer Rick Wake picked four unknowns to contribute lyrics and melodies to existing pieces and new songs alike. Upon first glance, singing gives Voices the appearance of pop, and there are some tracks that are structured like pop in a way that Yanni's music rarely is, but this isn't greatly removed from the increasingly rhythmic worldbeat that he's made in the decade preceding this 2009 album. This still has a deliberately exotic, multi-cultural feel with the emphasis on texture, not melody, so the singers -- Leslie Mills, Nathan Pacheco, Ender Thomas, and Chloe -- tend to fade into the tapestry, often to he extent that it's not immediately clear what language is being sung. This vocal transparency is not by accident, but by design, because this is still a Yanni album: he may have singers but he is the frontman, the man responsible for the form and feel of the sound. And Voices is surely an album where the sound, not the song, is a paramount, and that's what makes this first-ever Yanni album with singing not all that different from his other albums after all.

Thomas Erlewine - All Music Guide



Limited two disc (CD/DVD) edition of the New Age artist's 2009 album including a bonus DVD that contains behind-the-scenes footage on the making of the album plus tour highlights. World renowned, Grammyr-nominated pianist composer and producer, Yanni makes a triumphant return with the 2009 album Voices. For the first time ever, new vocal sensations Nathan Pacheco, Leslie Mills, Ender Thomas and Chloe lend their voices and lyrics to Yanni's beloved classics and new songs. Also available: the Spanish-language Voces.

Listen again to Yanni's melodies, composed over an incomparable 22-year career, and it becomes clear: The man's music was meant to be sung. Revered for his sweeping symphonic pieces and intimate keyboard airs, Yanni long resisted having vocalists reinterpret his music with lyrics. That is, until now with his premiere Disney Pearl album, "Yanni Voices." More than two years in the making, "Voices" is without question Yanni's most ambitious project yet.

Teaming up with Grammy-winning producer Ric Wake, Yanni went all out, discovering four young singers - Nathan Pacheco, Ender Thomas, Leslie Mills and Chloe - and pairing them with his compositions, old and new. Rather than hire established wordsmiths, Ric and Yanni turned them loose, encouraging the four to write lyrics for the melodies that moved them most. It proved a winning gamble.

Yanni Voices is the fourteenth studio album and fifth live DVD by Yanni, released on Yanni/Wake label in 2009. This was Yanni's first studio release in six years. In collaboration with producer Ric Wake, Yanni showcased vocal artists singing to his classic songs, blending fresh interpretations of vintage Yanni tracks with newly written material.[2] It also introduces the four new vocalists at the center of the project: Leslie Mills, Chloe Lowery, Nathan Pacheco, and Ender Thomas.

Disney Pearl Imprint released Yanni Voices and its Buena Vista Concerts division produced an extensive tour that began in April 2009. The tour kicked off with a special concert filmed Live at the Forum (Mundo Imperial) in Acapulco Mexico. This concert is the subject of a television special that aired in March 2009 on PBS. Yanni Voces features a collection of Spanish duets with Latin recording artists and the new vocalists of Yanni Voices. Special guest performers included Lucero, Cristian Castro and José José.

The album debuted on Billboard's Top 200 and #1 on the New Age chart. The Spanish version, Yanni Voces, debuted at #2 on Billboard's New Age chart, #5 on the Latin Pop chart, and #13 on the Latin overall chart.[3]

Yanni Voices received a debut sales week figure of 26,000 units on the Billboard chart dated April 11, 2009, a figure that was not surpassed in the Billboard new age category through at least October 2014.
