"[Kim Edwards] conquered me...I fell in love with her song, her voice." - Alex Hemen

— Peter Clitheroe & Alex Hemen, Adnams Brewery Artist of the Month

““With the influx of music submissions I receive daily, from time to time you receive something worth listening to. Singer Kim Edwards…brings an almost Sound of Music feel to her music. Yes, I said Sound of Music...there’s a pureness to her musical story-telling. Her recent single ”The Show” is light-hearted and refreshing to the ear…””

— Karen Bishop, IAmWhatsHot.com

"...I make no apology for playing this song [Wanderlust] again. Its simplicity gives it an almost hymn-like quality. Quite remarkable."

— Peter Clitheroe, Suffolk N' Cool

"I don't want to sound like a cliche, but Kim Edwards writes songs with heart. It takes some good songwriting and performance to get people to care about characters in a song. Especially in the cynical 21st century. But listen to tracks like 'It Was Me' or 'The Show' on Kim Edwards' 'Wanderlust' album, and I defy you to not want to give Kim a hug afterwards. And while she says the songs are not about her, I have to respect the kind of songwriting (and especially Kim's performance), that evokes such strong emotional reactions from this occasionally cynical listener. Kim Edwards' 'Wanderlust' is one of my favorite albums from 2012."

— Charlie Silvestri, Up Close & Acoustic

"Earlier performances includes a nice 35-minute set by Valley native (now living in California) Kim Edwards, who sounded like a Christian Christina Perri, only in better control of her voice and with better constructed songs. Accompanying herself on keyboards, Edwards was almost classical on many of the eight songs she performed. Especially good were “Blue,” which was far better than Perri, and “Wanderlust,” the title cut of her recent album. The latter had the personal intensity of Vanessa Carlton’s best songs."

— John J. Moser, The Morning Call

"Amidst a sea of pop music, with every song briefly peaking like a wave before falling to obscurity, this song stands out with originality & character. It hints the theme of the circus without overwhelming you with it, defined instead by Kim's unique flavour. The vocals are smooth & refreshing. You feel as if Kim was smiling when she sang & enjoyed singing the song as much as we enjoy hearing it! If you like quirky singers, such as Imogen Heap, Regina Spektor & Oh Land you will like Kim Edwards."

— iTunes customer, iTunes

"Her lyrics are touchingly poignant..."

— Mary L. Clark, Amazon.com

"...This CD by a young lady named Kim Edwards from Pennsylvania has talent written all over it. There is a style and simplicity to everything about it. From piano and cello to thought provoking lyrics….This is one artist you will need to look out for. This EP sets the stage for great things."

— Don Hinkle, He's Alive Radio
