Press Reviews
( The following quotes are all from mp3 stations that feature 'audiobalm' - just hit 'stations now playing' at the top of this page to visit any of the named stations....) What they are saying about 'audiobalm' - 'Banker's Lady Blue' - 'Sensual blues vocals...that mellow snuggle in feeling. Beautiful, sad, nostalgic, and yearning. Had to have a double shot.' 'DemoDude's Blues Reviews' - 'What can I say? Just close your eyes and listen to the woman... and tell me you don't hear Billie Holiday in there somewhere. Just excellent! Simplicity! Soul! Spine-tingling. And very blue... This is Kurvouria. 'Shaky Tee' - 'Heres something different: Blues and pop from Channel Islands (off the coast of England). Kurvouria is a versatile singer, varying between a Billy Holiday coo and a Janis Joplin wail. Her harmonies are original and spot-on and her partner, Super Crustacean Man, conjures up musical landscapes that bring to mind Portishead at an Open Mike. The combo wont be believed.'( This review can be found on 'Lena's Alibi' courtesy of Grace Overthrone) 'More chick divas' - 'There's something excitingly strange about Kurvouria that leaves me fascinated. The bluesy vocal glissando, the hip-hop beat, the slow but never tepid instrumentals... enticing, and yet, so veryvery odd. Don't miss this band!' 'Decaffeinated Sage: The Sequel' - 'I'm the meanest non-smoker you ever met, but this song ('I Won't Run Away') makes me want to get on a plane, fly to New York City, go to a jazz club and light up a French cigarette while listening to Kurvouria sing.' |
