about

Some people come and go without leaving a noticeable trace. You can hear plenty of them on the radio every day. Not Lisa Miller. She is a reminder that it's not always the first moment of a song and a singer that matters but what mark is left with you afterwards.
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

An episodic and miniature world of feelings and heartfelt experiences. Version Originale truly captures the heart of the country, the soul of suburbia and an individual persona of a singer-songwriter at the height of her craft.
RHYTHMS

With Version Originale Miller's magical ability to elevate a song above its existing parts is disarming. It goes beyond the quality of her voice, which sounds more pleasant than really remarkable - until you realise your pulse is slowing and there is a thread of dribble hanging off your lip. Like all the greatest singers, it is less about pitch and timbre than her ability to make you believe she's breathing and bleeding in there...
THE AGE EG FEATURE ALBUM 4.5 stars

Version Originale has the same addictive quality of everything touched by her gossamer throat strings; the same understated, apparently effortless senses of melody and craft, with, if possible, an even more affecting emotional directness.
ROLLING STONE 4 stars

Lisa Miller is proof that a great album by a great artist can still find an audience in Australia. Her distinctive, late-night voice and heartfelt, beautifully crafted songs have already had the reviewers struggling to do justice to its sublime power.
DAILY TELEGRAPH

Lisa Miller has the kind of talent that, every now and then, stuns you to a wide-eyed gasp.
INPRESS

Version Originale is, simply, natural. It is pop music with finesse and heart and wonderful soul. It is as sensitive as it is beautifully executed. Space to breathe but not to drown... That Lisa Miller has succeeded admirably in making a record to treasure is undeniable. Version Originale is as good as, if not better, than any other Australian record released this year.
THE BRAG

Sometimes you can listen to an album and just tell that everything has fallen together in the right way; right time; right place; right people. Her vocal style is pure and ingenuous.
