"Striker Bill"

" It’s a strong opening statement from Reddy, and one that leaves listeners with the thought that the sky’s the limit for her in the future." -


"Fourculture Magazine"

"Tangled in Emotions opens up like a storybook with the lead track entitled “She.” It wouldn’t be too hard to mistake this to be a title track from an Oscar nominated film." - Serena Butler


"Midwest Record"

"Leonard Cohen meets film noir meets Bollywood? Well, maybe if you throw in some Alanis Mitchell. As today's young ladies are more apt to fly off the beaten path, this is sure to be alt.pop that speaks loudly to them as this goes way beyond belly dance and chant to realms only known to Reddy herself." - Chris Spector


"India Today Magazine"

“Dreams float around,” sings Bhavana Reddy in her about-to-be released debut EP Tangled In Emotions. With talent coded in here genes, as the daughter of renowned Kuchipudi duo Raja and Radha Reddy, she has the right to dream, and dream big.” - Suhani Singh


"AbsolutPunk.Net"

"Evoking the windswept zest of A.R. Rahman and the panoramic Indian countryside, album opener “She” has a circadian swirl and an effortlessness that absolutely vaults Reddy to to the top of the list of ones to watch in 2014 and beyond." - Gregory Robson


"Magnet Magazine, PA"

"Born to Indian dance gurus, Reddy asserts herself as a vocal dynamo in her own right, be it with gentle crooning or cathartic wails." -


"Innocent Words Magazine & Records, IL"

“Reddy’s music drips with the echoes of Bollywood, but also has the shiny gleam of a piece pushed from Hollywood; it’s fresh, it’s new and it’s good: it’s doing for the airwaves what “Bend It Like Beckham” did for the silver screen." - Jeremy Wood


"Buzz & Howl"

"After listening to the passion and expertise presented by Bhavana Reddy you’d think she’d be a Grammy nominated artist. This is a hell of an impressive EP; its delicate, its natural, and its unique" - Marykate Schneider


"Times Of India Newspaper, Hyderabad"

"Being a child of famous parents isn’t easy. Not only do you have to live up to your parent’s reputation, but also have to prove your mettle. And Bhavana Reddy has certainly proved her caliber." -


"The Daily News - McKeesport, PA"

"Mixing the exotic sounds of Indian with modern pop and jazz, Bhavana Reddy makes a nice first impression on her four-track debut EP." -


"Earbuddy"

"The songs on the EP range from good to excellent. The outstanding “Smells Like Rain” features Reddy at her best. Her voice is loud — unbelievably loud. This is pop music. This is jazz music. This is world music. This is a damn good start, and I can’t wait to see what she might be able to pull off with a longer format." - Alex Daniel


"Beats Per Minute, NY"

"On the EP’s lead single, 'Smells Like Rain', haunting string harmonies and percussive blasts combine to form the platform from which her powerful voice leaps like a diver into the swells of layered instrumentation." - Joshua Pickard


"Buzzbands LA"

"Bhavana Reddy’s debut EP is titled 'Tangled in Emotions', and its sonic roots are a tangle too, of her Indian heritage and contemporary pop artists such as Fiona Apple and Kimbra.” - Kevin Bronson


"Music Connection Magazine"

"With a voice that commands attention, Bhavana Reddy comes with an Americanized world-pop vibe that conjures visions of a James Bond title sequence. That would best describe 'Smells Like Rain', in which Reddy's anguished sensuality soars above a swirl of violins, cellos, and a big beat. 'Tangled In Emotions' amps up the sex appeal and challenges Reddy's vocal range.” -
