The Calgary Herald writes:  "A brilliant composer and lyricist, the talented Kathleen Gorman invites us on a journey of the heart, exposing universal intimacies which resonate from the opening note. Soulful, poignant, uplifting....One of the best new original albums of the year. " 

 

The Jazz Network's Steve Getz writes: " Her voice has a certain sophistication and grace: A beautiful, refined and elegant instrument which conveys love and a certain sense of longing. Ms. Gorman is a song stylist who has crafted her very own, singular approach to the art of singing...."

 

 "The songwriting is solid and mature, the vocal expression is just fantastic... Mitch Goldfarb, Producer/Engineer, Lou Rawls, George Benson, Eddie Gomez, Bon Jovi. 

 

" She sings, plays, writes, composes and produces with the best of them, making music rooted in jazz that is accessible and contemporary...a fantastic new contemporary voice! " - Jon Burr ( Jazz Artist, Bassist, Composer)
