: p.s. that quote from my last tweet is from Friedrich Schlegel, but of course that would be too many characters to have fit...

Press

““...a collection of polished, adult songs.... you wonder how no one thought to put notes together in that melody” --3 of 4 Stars, Winnipeg Free Press”

— Jill Wilson, Winnipeg Free Press

“Her latest and first self-produced, “Love & Other Messes,” was released last year and has critics drooling over her stylistic and lyrical qualities. Impossible to categorize, Vriend’s unique style brings together elements of soul, pop, country, jazz, blues and gospel and so, as many critics agree, it sounds both familiar and strange at the same time.”

— Justin Brake, The Telegraph

““...a retro look at old pop records of the ‘60s, with Vriend playing the country diva, the Amy Winehouse of the prairies. Sometimes she’s channeling Dolly Parton or Blossom Dearie doing early Loretta Lynn and Aretha Franklin.” ”

— Denis Armstrong, The Ottawa Sun

““Ann Vriend's [newest] album-- her first as a producer-- defies narrow genres. Each of the 12 tracks manages the rare feat of sounding at once comfortably familiar and intriguingly original.... veer[ing] effortlessly between straight-ahead, quiet country, to soul-wrenching blues, to folk-inspired storytelling.... Don't miss her.” --3.5 of 4 Stars, Toronto Star”

— John Terauds, Music Critic, The Toronto Star

““Easily one of Canada’s greatest unannounced singers.... Her strengths as a pianist and lyricist means Vriend is the complete package.” ”

— Kindah Mardam Bey, Press +1
