Rip It Up, Zoe Winkler, Feb/March issue, 2004
“Few debut artists are as daring as Leila Adu”

The Sunday Star Times, Grant Smithies, 18th May 2003
“Dissonant delight . . . Full of striking imagery and delightfully dissonant droning harmonies, the nearest reference point lies somewhere between sad-eyed Brazilian crooner Astrud Gilberto and London-based avant-pop darlings Stereolab.”

The Dominion Post, John Kennedy, 1st May 2003
“Her voice is as distinctive as any you’ll hear on these shores – dark, sonorous, uninflected and unflinching.”

Beat Magazine (Melbourne) Shane Moritz
“She has a hypnotic voice, moderately spiced, sprinkled in firewater. Some call it sultry, and it is, but it’s also heavy and soothing and gets under your skin in the most welcoming way.”

Live, Lucy Parr
“Leila Adu and her back-up musicians are definitely talented so look out for an opportunity to see this group live; it’s guaranteed to be a spirited performance.”
