"Ohhh yesss, Ys is a fantastical, poetic whirlwind—like a harp-strumming woodland elf spilled her diary into a bubbling cauldron of Shakespeare and fairy dust, and voilà: pure art! Joanna’s voice is… unique, très unique, like a magical goose in emotional distress—but glamorous! Très glamorous!" -Miss Piggy muppet
