Press Reviews
MINI REVIEWS ON Sunflower Girl FROM MUSIC FANS AROUND THE WEB:*********"This is pretty irresistable even for a non-pop fan" ceecee**************"What pop should be - like the rave up ending" plan9******** Love this song! The Vocals, the Piano, the beat are excellent. One of the best Pop/Acoustic songs I have heard in a LONG time.********************Cara15 I think this is a really good song I've listened to one other song of the bands and it was really good, a very, very good band, easy to listen to.********************* "this is too catchy to not like!" poprocks********"Great song! Love the piano! Gives me a good feeling..." tinyelvis*********Reminds me of the "Crash Test Dummies", Fun to listen to!" JackValentine*******"It's Delicious. It's Nutritious. It's Tasty Too!"whipcracker *******"Nice shiny song..." Heather****"Okay, so the topic is kinda silly... this is a greatpop tune! I don't know they found their drummer,but they should definitely be giving him his fair share, because he knows how to set thing things up!"****"i like the harmonies..." gomez******Nice, and somehow sounds familiar. herrold****** Hold your opinion on this one until you've heard the last 40 seconds. Wish the whole song sounded like that...******"You'll propose marriage to your speakers halfway through the addictive opening piano riff of this, baby. A surplus of musicality applied in subtle webs of psychedelic brush. The Male/Female, Feminine/Masculine, Yin/Yang, Yankees/Mets, PC/Mac thing is embodied in ping/pong vocal fashion by Ray Andersen and ever-sweet Patti M-Yodlowsky. As much fun vocally as Jefferson Airplane and X. Care for a tab?" -- Tony Madejczyk~~~~~~~ |
