"There is only one LOIRE, she is incomparable. When I first heard her sing, I was hypnotized by an awesome kind of unheard pureness in her voice, reminding me of daylight in Spring, or a fresh mountain well. Apart from the sound, Loire has this amazing groove, no composer will ever be able to write down what she is vocally able to. Composers are control freaks and so am I, but writing for Loire is different: Each one of us is delivering half of the inspiration and half of the music. That is quite special. Writing for Loire is a privilege and she is my muse! Well performed music is like an ever floating river of time and LOIRE makes that happen." (JacobTV)
