"Muse and Memorabilia defies quick or casual assessment: The mysterious Mohicans (music by Neil Baldock) works between the epic and the intimate; Goodbye Chicago may or may not be about leaving a relationship; the meaning of I Love You But as unequivocal but as loaded as its title . . ." Graham Reid
“...The album is excellent ... Your voice is outstanding and I love the production quality. I enjoy the lyrics as well - they are all interesting and not quite what you are expecting.” - Jan Hellriegel, NZ songwriter
“Kiri's debut album Muse and Memorabilia is a collection of refined, considered and reflective songs and draws from a lifetime of songwriting and performing to craft this release. Produced and recorded by Neil Baldock at Roundhead and Revolver Studios in Auckland, Kiri draws on a pool of sympathetic and supportive talent — including drummer Nick Gaffaney and Willy Scott, guitarists Neil Watson, Brett Adams, Derek Solomon and Christine White, bassist Bones Hillman and keyboard players Steph Brown and Godfrey De Grut to name a few. From the propulsive and soulfully delivered rock track Watch Over Me and the hard-edged Hotel or Car through to the emotional ache of Not My Lover and the radio-friendly pop-chime of Baby Come Round, to the blues yearn of Goodbye Chicago and snappy funk of Get Back Home there is a wealth of emotional and musical experience poured into this diverse album.”
