"Singer/Songwriter Alexa Hamilton's (6 song) EP "Who Knew" shows a real knack for catchy material and the ability to put the songs over"....says Music Connection Magazine 3/17
"Let's Get Outta Here" is a crafty number with a good hook... we really like "I Knew You When" , a countryish pop song with a sexy vocal. The ballad "I Know That It's Wrong" echoes Don Henley and suggests Hamilton could move even further towards country."

"A huge THANKS to Alexa Hamilton for her EP "Who Knew". There's not a bad song on there and it has been a great addition to our singer/songwriter Americana program." Eric Cohen, Music Director, WAER-Syracuse.

"I usually prefer the original over any cover, but occasionally such a great cover comes along that it's worth sharing with KPFT listeners. Alexa Hamilton's "What's Goin Down" (aka "For What It's Worth by Stephen Stills) is so good that I have started my radio show ("Laurapalooza") with it!"
