This beautiful siren has a talent that can’t be denied, and she proves it here.”--The Global muse“Smart and original lyrics are the cornerstone of a good song. This song [Fly]h as just that. Great lyrics and a truly awesome singing voice kept me playing this song over and over. Carla has a great talent that I totally recommend everyone check out.”--The Global Muse“...she stood at the mic motionless, eyes closed, and sang. This was captivating.”--Music Connection magazine“Wow...incredible stuff”--The Renegade Newsletter“She’s big on the whole encoding-distortion thing, but Carla Hassett’s songs are solid enough to withstand a little sonic-high-end abuse. Her style jumps from adult contemporary ballads to guitar-driven alt-pop with timely stop-offs at the boggie-rock station to boot.” --Listen.com“This woman is full of passion that will make you appreciate good songwriting and performance skills.”--Say What??? newsletterShe's definately ready [for a major label deal]. I'm ready too. It would be much more delightful to hear "Fly" and ["You Are So] Beautiful" on the radio than most of the stuff to which one is subject to nowadays. --indie-music.com
