Reviews

"True Singing and talent lie within (this artist). Mandi Leigh pushes boundaries to make music that's not only easy on the ears, but soothing, relaxing, and beautiful as well. Her full sultry voice shows me that I haven't had ANYONE submit a song that could give music so many positive adjectives. You can find her music oniTunes and at MandiLeigh.com and be sure to follow her on twitter @mandileigh . BE SURE to purchase her album "BLVD" and take a listen to her song "Home Suite Home"" - Positive Vice, April 2011

Mandi Leigh is letting you know everything tastes better with whipped cream and after jamming to her single “Whipped Cream” I had to listen to more from this California artist! Mandi’s style is on another planet. It could breathe new life into every genre. She doesn’t limit herself to just one! I jammed to the smoothe sounds of her track “No Longer In Love” from the Warner Bros. film "Utopian Society" which is soulful with hints of country. I then got up and danced to her album track “Hotter Than Fire.” Her album is definitely a must have! Titled BLVD., a fitting title for such a talented, versatile artist. Mandi could entertain anyone on the boulevard, check out her album, the two singles and her rebuttal to Bruno Mars!
- Big Fan Base, March 2011

"The rhythmic elements on Mandi Leigh's "BLVD." release can hang with the best of them. Tight, clean and interesting playing. When it comes to performance, lead vocals are the first thing that most listeners pay attention to, so a great performance is essential. Leigh's lead vocals really grabbed us. We don't tag a lot of releases as having great lead vocals, so this is an excellent strength for you to have. As far as production on this album goes, a good mix separates the men from the boys so to speak. It's relatively easy to get good raw tracks, but mixing them right is an art unto itself. Clearly a lot of time and work went into the mix here. It's paying off for Leigh and her team. All the elements in the mix here sound clear, and they coalesce into a cohesive sound that suits the composition. This is very much its own art form. Nice work."

"Mandi Leigh's Grenade Rebuttal had rousing energy that moved us as listeners. Leigh sounds confident in her musical skills and the part she is playing."

-  Hello Music, February 2011


"In regards to Mandi's Grenade Rebuttal I've never given much credit to rebuttals since most aren't really very creative. Like watching a B movie sequel to an awesome blockbuster. But Miss Leigh's rebuttal is on equal footing with the blockbuster. The passion and quality I hear in Bruno's song is easily matched here. And the story continues, not a regurgitation, it's own original offering to want to know what comes next in the story....does Bruno seek her out now? Now that he knows why.".

Industry Quotes

"When I heard the Grenade Rebuttal I was absoluetly blown away. Truly a phenomonal voice. Her pipes will put the hallelu-glory in hallelujah" - Michelle Alford, Poetic Energy Radio Show DJ

“Working with Mandi Leigh was a complete and total pleasure. I had the privilege of working with Mandi on a feature film soundtrack distributed through Warner Brothers. Not only does she have an amazing voice, but her professionalism and positive work ethic is every music producer's dream. Mandi's vocal abilities are the real deal, no studio tricks needed for this powerhouse of a singer. It's always a pleasure to work with a vocalist at diva level without the actual attitude. I hope we get to work together in the very near future. - James Oddo, Polychrome/Song Factory

She was always on time and prepared for sets, she had an easy and comfortable rapport with the audience, her patter was funny and appealing. In addition, she has a wonderful voice with an excellent stylistic flexibility – from pop and soul to standards and blues, she never failed to surprise me with her versatility.” - James Higgins, Music Director
