Press Reviews "If you are looking for some well crafted Euro-pop -goth, look no farther. Silk Rush is Barbarella Buchner, primarily a keyboard player, her vocal stylings enhance the diverse music she brings us. Barbarella plays music in varying genres, including Gothic, Pop, and even some Dance thrown in for good measure. Her voice shines brightest on pop tunes such as "Run Away", reminiscent of Cindy Lauper this song makes you feel good. On "Kiss of Blood", however, Barbarella shows us a darker, brooding side. This Goth tune sticks with you long after you hear it. Over all, this music draws you in, mixing styles to weave a tapestry of catchy melodies, haunting vocals, and riveting beats. Dreamy, distant vocals intertwine with the driving dance beat on her "Euro-pop" tunes, such as "Assailed by Desire". When you are tired of dancing, let Barbarella take you an a journey on the dark side of Vampire love with "Dark Love". An exotic melody leads into this catchy yet disturbing song. We are reminded this artist comes from classical training, as she returns to the theme that makes this song so strong at just the right times." ~Review by Temporary Banana Associates~
