“About Clever Piece of Life: This really is a great song. It's well produced. I love the jazz quartet sound. It's definitely a theatrical piece and you could easily get it licensed in a film. You would need to be represented by an agent that is very visual with music, because this song wouldn't just fit any movie score, it would have to be a 60s or 70s themed movie. It has a "beatnik" quality to it.”

— DJ Mikey Jayy of KGUP 106.5, Email

“RT @lewtapera: @FrankieLamb yo. Waterproof is hype. That tune belongs in a Tarantino film. Immediately.”

“This could well be described as an album of two very distinct sides. The first six songs feature some fairly full-on rocky arrangements with distorted guitar tones to the fore. Time Flies almost has a Metallica feel to it, but, from the quirky 30 second percussion-led track, Andreas & The Kerkinators onwards, the more subtle and quieter tracks offer up a smorgasbord of musical styles highlighting some very strong songwriting by Lamb herself as well as other writers whose songs are covered here. My favourite is the clever wordplay found in Love’d Bayou with its Louisiana feel, courtesy of Richard Klein’s fiddle and Al Norman’s accordion. I was expecting to hear the strident bluesy vocals that are Lamb’s trademark sound when she’s singing with her band, The Lambhunters. Instead she’s gone for a softer, more melodic vocal style here and set that against these rocky arrangements, the juxtaposition lending the album an almost menacing tone in places."

“Julie Lamb well and truly snook up on this playlist. She tweeted me a link to her song Undone which really caught my attention. There's something infectious about the sound on offer here. Something that got me wanting to hear more. Listening to more tunes I have not been disappointed with the likes of Trippin The Light Fantastic seeming to marry together so many styles I've enjoyed over the years. There's a bluesy soul there with a little bit of jazz too (*does jazz hands* - no really you can take out a contract if you see me do jazz hands in public, I quite understand). What I love about Julie is the variety as well because whereas Trippin The Light is a gentle(ish) bluesy affair, she leaps into a more rockier sound with Time Flies. Awesome stuff and I look forward to hearing more in the future. She is most definitely worth you checking out. You can grab a copy of the album Trippin' The Light from Julie's bandcamp page”

"If you catch me, don't burn yourself", enunciates Julie Lamb in Tell Me Who I Am, the opening track on her second albumTrippin' the Light. It's some fitting phrasing indeed when we view the record in its entirety. Lamb is proud to have combined rock, blues, jazz and various other sounds into a fiery but positive sequence. She's proud for good reason - Time Flies carries the listener in with some great aural momentum. Lamb's vocals, along with the instrumental and choral talents of her passionate backing musicians, make for a piece that seems to tend toward progressive metal. Click to read the full review.

“Blues, rock and accounting aren’t something that would normally be put together but Wellingtonian singer Julie Lamb somehow pulls this off. Her second album entitled 'Trippin’ The Light' displays a range of talent, which is rarely found on the shelves nowadays. The album combines various sounds of rock, blues, jazz and more to deliver one of the easiest and most enjoyable albums I’ve heard in a while. Kicking off the album with 'Tell Me Who I Am' a blues based rock number with lyrics that give off a passionate but confident progression. Following up with 'Time Flies' which demonstrates Lamb’s vocal talent combined with a great backing track from her musicians that will get you nodding along in no time. Lamb then changes the flow with Undone, more of a sobering track with the addition of a assortment of wind and strings that add another level of goodness into the album... ”

— John Shearer, Muzic.net.nz

“I've been listening over and over to Julie's songs - they're like that. She has a smart and insightful way with words - I always like that. I love Mess and Magpie, it makes me feel hopeful and loving. And then there's the heavy rock of Time Flies - get down and dirty! The tightness and tautness of Kill Me With Your Promise. Most of all, I think, I love the delightful joy of Loved Bayou - bayou, by you, by you, bayou! Get this album. That is all.”

— Sarah Dee, Musician, Facebook

“This is def an album worth adding to your collection a superb collection that wraps up a few genres. And done in sassy style. I love the sprinkle of humour in Julies song writing as well. she is like a good wine - a bit of age and all that! ”

— Tina Nixon , Facebook

“Mix all kinds of rock, fabulous arrangements, small children on percussion, women’s acapella backing vocals and some of the best Wellington musicians and you’ve got the latest offering from popular Wellington singer/songwriter Julie Lamb. ‘Trippin’ the light’ is Lamb’s second album and despite the novelty moments, heralds her return to what she describes as her true singing roots – rock. Her new album, to be launched at Bodega on 29 July, features six original songs by Lamb with an additional three co-written by local Wellington artists, Mike Jamieson and Alan Stuart. As well, Lamb covers 2 originals, one by Mike Nyland, (of Von Thundersvolt) the other by Julian Ward (The awesome photographer.) “Some of the lyrics are quite dark. Which is odd because I’m at a really good point in my life right now, but subconscious can be a crazy thing,” says Julie. “The songs are good. I know this because the band keep abusing me about the songs getting stuck in their heads!"”
