““I cannot stop listening to this doll-faced singing angels album. She is shut-the-front-door DYNAMITE! Like a blend of Carmen Miranda, Billy Holiday and Madeleine Peroux but completely herself at the same time. I adore her stage presence, songwriting, vocal timbre and phrasing. I urge you to check her out online or live...If you don't already know this starlet please allow me to introduce to you Parissa Bouas!”” - ABBIE CHIQUITA CARDWELL

Press / Reviews

“Parissa has a voice that would aggravate angels with it’s beauty” 

PHILIP ADAMS, ABC RN

“she immediately engages by being blessed with a voice that has timbral overlaps with Billie Holiday’s. More significantly she shines the charm off that voice on some exceptional self-penned songs.” 

JOHN SHAND, Sydney Morning Herald
