"...a beautiful voice...an impressive debut."
"...melodies of great beauty...the guitar of Ewan MacPherson, the fiddle of Lauren MacColl and the double bass playing of Ailig Hunter combine with her voice to create a plangent sound reminiscent of Pentangle's."
~Julian May, Songlines Jan/Feb 2011

"Of Indian-Welsh parentage, she has the kind of exotic good looks that the music industry devours[...]her honesty, warm performing style and genuine love of traditional song all add to her evident charm."

"I first met Chloe at the Cambridge Festival workshops, and was struck then by the mature and gentle tone of her singing. She's gone from strength to strength, and delivers a wonderful variety of songs with confidence and sincerity. Her debut album features fantastic accompaniment from an impressive line up of friends, playing arrangements which perfectly support a voice with the purity of a folk Classic"

"There's a plaintiveness and restraint to Chloe Matharu's singing that owes
more to classic traditional singers like Anne Briggs than it does to the
poppier inflections of many of her young folk contemporaries. And there's a
refreshingly unaffected, intimate and pastoral quality to many of the
arrangements on her debut album too."

"...it is a wonderful and hypnotic debut album. [Chloe has]...carved out a style that is [her] own with a stunning voice that's both gentle and strong, persuasive and yet tender...a good balance of upbeat tracks and haunting music, well known Celtic songs blended with lesser known ones, musical accompaniment, when it is present, which is very complementary and sensitively performed and a great quality of recording...[Chloe has] sourced an excellent studio and wonderful musicians."
~Katie Targett-Adams

"...a voice as pure as the young Sandy Denny or Scottish enigma Shelagh McDonald or Joni Mitchell on her impossibly innocent first album...more than enough to put folk-music aficionados on high alert."
