“Leila Adu is a rebel-inspirer. And not in the way that calls for the raising of fists, or the hurling of sharp word-blades. Her defiance is decided… Anger isn’t its mother. Wonder may be.” — Purple Magazine

“Leila Adu’s music is cryptic, edgy, oscillating between serious commentary and flippant experimentation.” — Sheffield Telegraph

“In an almost neoclassical-esque manner, Leila Adu effortlessly carries her listeners through an elegant tapestry of emotion, showing her exceptional talent as a true pioneer with this trance-inducing avant-garde experimental soul EP. ” — S.O.U.L Magazine

“Within seven tracks, Leila Adu takes you on an aural journey that most progressive rock albums could only attempt to do. I see this album as a future classic” — Review by John M. Ellison IV

“Her resplendent soprano delivery of the line “A love that never dies” during this passage of “Wolfmen” ties her to the wonderful vocal legacies of Josephine Baker, Arooh Lemeen, Rosemary Clooney, Ella Fitzgerald and Roy Orbison.” Review by Boston Fielder

“Del talento enorme di Leila Adu si sa già… Che sia Ode to the Unknown Factory Worker a evocare Nina Simone, piuttosto che la quiescenza jazz di A Moment of Peace e Naive ad ammaliare l’ascolto, poco conta.” — CDs of the Week, The Manifesto Newspaper

“Ha un viso dolce e l’ugola roca…ha già un curriculum di tutto rispetto: ha inciso tre dischi in studio e sta per uscire il quarto, prodotto da Steve Albini, lo stesso che ha lavorato per In utero dei Nirvana. Ha suonato ovunque: New York, Auckland, Roma, Londra…” L’Unione Sarda, Sardinia, Italy, 2009

“Attendiamo solo che esploda la sua notorietà. Perché le carte ci sono tutte e riguardano le capacità vocali e strumentali di questa artista.”— Il Popolo Del Blues CD Review
