"A fresh album release from Australian singer-songwriter Anna Scionti packs in so much character and personality that this is an album you have to listen to all the way through as the songs have such a beautifully acoustic soundscape with a very one-on-one approach and insanely detailed lyrics to the point where you can paint pictures in your head vividly while you're listening to certain songs."
RAG MAG - Recording Artist Guild Magazine
