Reviews

“her voice as pure as moonlight, turning percussive ....before melting into a spoken incantation over sensual rhythm.”
Leon Gettler, The Age

“This album oozes the tingling excitement of a new love affair, or a holiday where each day is charged with new sights and adventures. Track by track Caroline Lynn unveils a fresh perspective on her broad musical world, which like so much of the best contemporary music blends jazz and folk influences.” John Shand, ABC Limelight Magazine, July 03
