”So many superlatives have been showered upon Danish singer Sinne Eeg that you wonder whether anyone could be that good – or was this yet another case of flawless but cold perfection? Well, this album says she’s certainly that good. Along with all the usual qualifications (time, intonation, phrasing) she has an attractive, flexible voice, sings and writes songs in two languages, and improvises perfect wordless scat. And there’s an easy, unhurried, at-home aura around it all which has nothing to do with technique.”
Dave Gelly in The Guardian
"Danish singer Sinne Eeg is the real deal – a superb jazz singer, composer and lyricist… Sinne Eeg has been a jazz star in Scandinavia for two decades. We’re fortunate that she tours Europe and the U.S. to share her talent with the world at-large."
Ken Franckling of Jazz Notes
“…she knows how to renew the tradition brilliantly. She sings with natural elegance and an acute sense of interpretation… it can now be said that Sinne Eeg stands out as one of the best jazz singers alive today.”
Alain Tomas of Couleurs Jazz in Paris
“Denmark cannot contain this talented lady any longer. Eeg’s voice, interpretations, and writing are now for all of us to appreciate and enjoy. She has all the ingredients of the best jazz vocalists with a dark, alluring voice, sultry delivery when called for, superb intonation, inherent sense of swing and phrasing as well as the requisite scatting ability.”
Jim Hynes of Making a Scene
“Here is the kind of jazz voice that snatches your attention from the very first note to the last. Her plush, tonal quality and ability to ‘swing’ endears Sinne Eeg to this reviewer. Not to mention, she is an excellent composer…Sinne Eeg’s voice floats above the lovely music like an ivory lily pad on a Claude Monet painting. Like those classic artworks, she is one of a kind.”
Dee Dee McNeil of Musical Memoirs
“One of the finest jazz singers active today, Sinne Eeg has a rich, fluid vocal sound. Her phrasing and lithe sense of swing are a delight and her interpretations of lyrics are thoughtfully attuned to the lyricist’s intentions. Altogether, this album is a delight. Jazz singing at its very best, imaginative instrumental solos, fine writing by composers, lyricists and arrangers, and a hard-swinging big band of the highest quality. What’s not to like?”
