"Grinels began to sing and the whole room stopped breathing. She has a dazzling voice, Chrissie Hynde's mojo, Rickie Lee Jones' feel for the jazz in the spaces between notes and a unfailing sense of the dynamics called for in each moment."
- Southeast Missourian
"Stunning Vocals and Original Songs; Extraordinary New Discovery"
"Grinels' voice really has to be heard to be believed. It's jazzy in its pacing, soulful in its delivery, heartfelt in its sensuous tone . . . it will be interesting to see how the future unfolds for this soon-to-be legendary singer.---- - P.T. Rothschild, Full Value Reviews
"I was immobilized by awe, [Grinels] was amazing - When she plays - hearts open . . . she knows how to hear the voice that tells us all what we were meant for. " - Vincent Lowe
"Her voice is just absurd. Two artists kept coming to mind - Martin Sexton and Fiona Apple. Sexton because of her vocal focus & control. Fiona Apple because of her tell-off confessional/conversational lyrics, her penchant for complex rhyme schemes (like rhyming a 3 syllable word with a 4 syllable word), and her powerful, listen-up-buster delivery. She also understands the importance of dynamic changes, and songs go from sultry whispers to soulful cries in like .3 seconds." - CrazyTalk.com
"You know you are listening to something special when upon first hearing it, it instantly becomes part of your collective being and you feel like it always has been. The searing, emotional, soulful vocals are the driving force behind the record. Her sound is so arresting . . . when certain songs come on, you cannot help but stop what you are doing and listen intently." - William Peter George II, BTN Music
