Release Notes:
"...an exceptional songwriting talent, and a voice
thatÆs at once quintessentially feminine and
simultaneously as metal-edged as a blues-playing
tenor saxophone... Simone excels at drawing out the
emotional underpinnings of a phrase, digging into
each syllable and sibilance with a horn playerÆs
eloquence..." --livingromcom.typepad.com--
"Simone White's indie-folk quasi-protest song,
"American War," is witty, provocative, and effective
without being angry or disillusioned." --Billboard--
"Simone White's voice, mournful and lullaby-hushed
over soft acoustic guitars- is reminiscent of Belle
and Sebastian's Isobel Campbell." --Time Out New
York--
"...Simone White's haunting voice and acoustic
guitar." --WNBC--
"A late-night melancholy gem." --Bucketfull of
Brains--
"... a delicate, breathy voice reminiscent of Ivy's
Dominique Durand or even Astrud Gilberto; she favors
moody, acoustic arrangements with brushed drums and
upright bass." --News Day--
"Simone White delicately lays her beautiful voice
over rich layers of swirling rhythm and crafty
guitar patterns. This record is deep with emotion,
rich with integrity and bubbles with bittersweet
excitement that will soothe the soul and relax the
nerves." --pulseweekly.com--
"Simone White's debut album is a delightful treat.
The moment that "America In '54" comes on your
stereo, you'll think that Joni Mitchell has been
re-incarnated...Sincere is the perfect word for this
consistent first release. Appropriate for any
season, this will appeal to fans of classic
singer/songwriters, and also modern female artists
such as Cat Power." --liepaper.com--
"sensitive, strangely soulful, bizarre..." --Boog
City--
