Review CD by C. MICHAEL BAILEY, Published: June 16, 2011
Simin Tander is a polyglot German-Afghan singer who combines the fierce creativity of Meredith Monk with the jazz savvy of Gretchen Parlato. She has surrounded herself with a like-minded trio that is willing to forge in whatever direction she desires, with music and singing full of wordless howls, purrs, and calls. This is multicultural music with a German edge and the rugged and untamed spirit of Afghanistan.
"Becoming" is a composition in English that begins like Thelonious Monk meeting Edith Piaf for an absinthe parfait and a cool glass of Château d'Yquem. There are frank elements of hip-hop sprinkled with Tander's assertive vocalizations. Pianist Jeroen van Vliet echoes John Escreet's angular stance while never losing the swing. Tander's lyrics are of a probing conscience looking for release.
Very daring to sing a song that has been rendered so well in the past. But she succeeds, amazing.

Dusty Springfield singt die schönste Version, Simin jedoch hat jedoch die aufregendste und emotionalste Stimme, die "Windmills" besonders aufregend darbietet.
