Review
A young composer and singer-songwriter with all the makings of a new British guitar heroine and a style that skips cheerfully across boundaries...impressive - **** --
Robin Denselow, The Guardian, February 4th 2011 Impossible to pigeonhole...that it works as a cohesive whole is down to Holmes's immense talent and joire de vivre, which emanates from everything she does - **** --
R2, March/April 2011 Possessing an undercurrent of older soul/R&B her songs are hook laden and immediate. 'All Alone' and 'Roundabout' are particularly radio-friendly but retain a musical kudos that evades many an artist **** --
Spiral Earth, January 11th 2011Full of warmth...an absolute delight --
