Absolutely lovely - your poetic spirit soars in this one…a sweet and delicious melancholy transcends into Art. I love it…..sigh………

Touching words beautifully sung. It’s a huge pleasure to be mixed with such skill and creativity.

Thank you, oD. I might make you a stodgy, bland macaroni cheese if you go on like this. xx

Very good lyrics and your voice…so mellow and soft. As if you did this recording at a very special moment and at a very special place. Perhaps that beach. Absolutely lovely!

I wish it had been on the beach. It’s usually empty and the sounds of lapping waves and sea breezes would have suited my mood. Thank you, Per, for your lovely review. xx

Oh wow.

oldog’s “Too Quiet” remains one of my favourite samples in ccMixter. Your vocals just made it extra special. I’m getting all goosebumpy listening to the song. Sweeeeet!!!

Thank you so much, IC. I’m more of an imp than an Elf Princess. That was very naughty of you …. xx

Oh Ciggi! While OD’s track is the type of music that gets inside right away, your lyric and voice carry the song right into the heart — poignant, tender. Your voice has never sounded so expressive. Just lovely.

I had to stop myself grabbing another one of your pella’s last night, people will start thinking there’s favouritism going on… I just really love the sound your pips make!

This one is no exception - smooth and soft with that trademark english feel… as tony the tiger would probably mutter… greeeeaaaaat!

Just come back from a day out to find your review. So I’m happy! And how spooky that you’ve mentioned Tony (with his nice red neckerchief) because I adore Frosties. Sad, I know. Let it be our secret. xx

Wistful is the perfect word. Also clarity and introspection. Very nice.

another gem. i love how unique your style is. you and the old dog really have something special together. the timeless, classic style of the arrangement and your execution of it is really stellar. love the build up with the strings and flutes. beautiful.

Absolutely lovely. I love your sens of the melody and your harmonizing with the piano of OlDog. A very moving atmosphere. I love your voice. I don’t know why, i hear it as “out of time”..I love it..
