"Darlings vocals are sugary and sultry, her phrasing and tonal quality are perfect. It's easy listening and enjoyable. The lyrics are well written, you know just what she's trying to get across"

Review of 'The Darling Project' Dec/07 - www.worldvoicenews.com
"Daphne Darling to replace Taylor Swift as opening act for Rascal Flatts at this years Bayfest" - The Sarnia Observer
"This is a jolly little number from a twindie pop sensation in the making" - popjustice.com - popjustice.com
Daphne Darling has produced one of the most compulsive sets of tracks heard so far this year. Unashamed pop, the tracks have a freshness to them that isn’t often heard nowadays.
Her voice is enchanting to listen to with a great range that can probably be used more than it is in these sugar-sweet tracks. She writes about everyday things that most can relate to, from creating an online profile to falling in love.
The melodies accompanying her vocals are as uplifting as her voice and would make the perfect soundtrack to a summer afternoon drive. Her music is easy to listen to and instantly enjoyable. The only question to ask is why we haven’t heard her before now?
