"Sadie manages to produce music which her vocals compliment very well; gentle and powerful but neither overpowering the other. They form a nice harmony to allow you to relax, to forget about your problems and enjoy not having a worry in the world. Everything seems to fit together nicely, the love for music, the simple construction of the melody, the well selected instruments and the wonderful vocals from this talented young lady.
The albums last song, ‘Swan Song’ is a fitting title. The melody, lyrics and feel of the song all come together as a heartfelt and emotional track. Something which makes you look back and remember the hurdles that you have overcome to be where you are now. I feel that we can expect more from Sadie in the future and it would be just as enjoyable as this album has been. I highly recommend that you pay her a visit." - Kevin Wilkins, New Reviews
"Composer and singer Sadie Fleming recently released her debut album entitled “Butterfly Wishes” in 2011. Now performing live at various venues in and around Bristol, including the famous Colston Hall, Sadie gives a haunting and enchanting performance of her unique set of memorable and lingering tracks.
“Butterfly Wishes” consists of twelve songs about a variety of emotions and events all linked by the beautiful voice of this talented young lady. Recorded in Bath by Sadie but mixed with the aid of Dan Wakefield, Miss Fleming has already performed on BBC Radio Bristol and received a tremendous reception for her collection of charming compositions.
[Sadie is appearing live on BSR at 7pm on 21st January 2012;] with listeners from all over the world this will give our audience the opportunity to enjoy an incandescent selection of music that sits somewhere between Regina Spektor and Alanis Morissette, but with a definite British accent." - Charles Brickley
"Possibly the best local album of the year" (Mark Venus Music - quoted online, and Steve Parkhouse of Jelli Records quoted on BBC Radio Bristol) - Mark Venus Music / BBC Radio Bristol
"Sadie Fleming is a name that the folks of this area should be fairly familiar with as she has played quite a respectable amount of gigs in the southwest. This is her debut album, written and produced by the lady herself. ‘Butterfly Wishes’ is a collection of wonderfully chilled songs you can drift away to.
This is a very well thought out album filled with intelligent lyrics; I think it’s fairly obvious Sadie knows exactly what she’s doing and this album is proof. It will need to be listened to more than once in order to appreciate the talented songwriter that is Miss Sadie Fleming. I also believe you will be able to see her performing around this area armed with her piano. You can purchase this lovely album of eclectic chilled songs on CD or download here."
