Artist Description
“Remarkable. Few can manage this level of confidence and mystique. Possessed of a voice as etheral as a cloud of Gauloises smoke, she conveys both intimacy and world-weary resignation”-Brittish magazine Q on her 2007 album "Keren Ann”
“Keren Ann has the X-Factor that transcends the breathy stereotype…she continues to find ways of turning out exquisitely sultry torch-folk”
-The Observer
“Keren Ann reveals the assurance of a fully developed artist… Zeidel’s compositions are becoming increasingly elaborate, such as the gentle, six-minute masterpiece 'Liberty,' which culminates in heavenly choral vocals…"
-Time Out New York
“Keren Ann has continued to carve out a reputation as one of the more prodigious singer-songwriters of the past decade… Her new self- titled album is another stunner.”
-CMJ New Music Monthly
