Press Reviews "It in no way diminishes French's originality to say that she compares favorably with Tori Amos. The singer has the ability to switch from a powerful melodic punch to a breathypurr without losing any of her technique or intensity...French seems to home in on familiar melodies that no oneelse has discovered." - Williamette Week (Portland, OR)."Canada has produced sime remakably original women singer/songwriters... French is a careful, melodicand thoughtful songwriter- and a closely intimatesinger- and some of the material is perfectly radio-ready"- the Record
