praise
- “extraordinary, spectacular... leaves you wanting more….”
John Carver, PBS Radio Station
- “Noemi’s blend of soft grooves and spiritual themes is already attracting a strong following…”
Michael Duffy, The Advertiser Adelaide.
- “One of Australia’s true innovative talents”
Allan Zavod, ex Frank Zappa Band
“Noemi Liba’s talent was revealed to me a couple of years ago when I heard her music at the Rimon Jazz Institute in Israel. Since then, I have been exposed even more to her special talent and unique musical taste in her work, especially in her musical arrangements which have moved me very much.
This was also the reason why I approached her to arrange one of my songs for string quartet, which will be performed in the summer of 2005 at the major Genesis Festival tour in the U.S.A.
Noemi Liba's music is a true gift to any sensitive music lover.”

reviews
Freefall - Noemi Liba
The first release from Noemi Liba - an artist we're pretty sure to hear a lot more of - this is a short EP of 25 minutes duration, and it leaves you wanting much more! At times reminding this reviewer of Beth Gibbons in vocal style, and some of the programming and atmospherics have a rather Portishead feel, this is music that is genuinely hard to categorise. This says a lots about its originality. Noemi has produced wonderfully crafted songs that speak to human dramas, and overlay sophisticated musical textures from a highly talented group of supporting musicians. "Too Late" and Rain" are intricate mini-masterpieces, and the cover of Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love" is simply gorgeous. A remarkable debut mini-album. I can't wait for a full length CD from Noemi! -

John Carver features Freefall CD and interviews Noemi Liba On 3PBS radio
The Morning After Show 23-03-2005
JC A CD came my way, about a month ago by someone whose name was impossible to pronounce, Noemi Liba. And I was… just absolutely blown away by it. And, I’ve been lucky to have Noemi come in this morning to talk to us… Thought we’ll start, before we chat to her, to have a listen to a track called Too Late – this is Noemi Liba….
(Track played) TOO LATE – NOEMI LIBA
JC I’m sure that you will agree, that is extraordinary. That’s a track called Too Late. And the artist is Noemi Liba. And good morning Noemi.
NL Good morning…
JC
It is a fantastic album and just one of those things that, you know your listening to a
whole lot of stuff & it’s all very good, and then something comes along that just blows you away,
which is in fact the case with Freefall.. for me, anyway, & hopefully for hundreds of other radio people.

Steve Jones interviews Noemi Liba.
DB magazine, Adelaide, Australia
I first heard Noemi Liba perform around twelve years ago when she sang a few numbers at the SA State Folk Festival during what’s known as a blackboard session, a forum where artists chalk up their names in order to take turns at the mic. After managing to procure myself an acoustic demo CD, the then young singer/songwriter simply disappeared from Adelaide; alternating her time between Melbourne, the US, and her ancestral homeland of Israel. Fast forward to early 2005, and on the off-chance that my telephone number had remained the same, Liba excitedly reacquaints herself; only this time she’s eager to tell of her debut official release, ‘Freefall’, before jetting off again to Europe and the Middle East for a six week jaunt to help consolidate a few musical leads.
"The music that I write has an unusual alternative core,"
