Press quotes:

“With lyrics like Joni Mitchell and a voice à la Macy Gray, but all her indelibly own….The music is beautiful, the stories she sings about stark, tackling it all, from right-wing politics to abuse. Somehow, though, it is never too sad - more a celebration of getting through life.” — GQ Magazine

“Her vocals are an unmistakable thing of wonder. Lilting, creamy and laidback….Her new album lets these vocals shine with simple but tuneful compositions and lots of sonic space for the gentle melodies to grow and bloom.” — Readers Digest
