“Lead singer of Providence rock & roll band Fall & Bounce and an extremely talented individual in her own right, the lovely Malyssa Bellarosa went up next with her beautiful voice and rhythmic guitar while everyone basked in the greatness. "Shine", "All My Love", "Never Be", "No Reason", "Of The Girl", "Right From Wrong" and "Out Of Time" encompassed a magnificent performance that exuded brilliance. **Live show review - Fete in Providence - 12/22/12”

— Robert Dugay, Go Local Prov

“BellaRosa shares Taylor Dayne's vocal power, and is as alluring as Neve Campbell would be if Neve got sexy on ecstasy...She is a first-rate talent. **review of Fall & Bounce show 12/17/12 at the Trash Bar, Brooklyn NY**”

— Stephen Baker, NYC Indie Music Live

“Speaking of sultry sass, Malyssa BellaRosa leads FALL & BOUNCE (reverbnation.com/fallandbounce) on its 2012 debut Knickknack Avalanche. F&B bob and weave through hazy '70s rock and blues numbers, while BellaRosa shines on "Words Fall." (Fall & Bounce took Best Breakthrough Act of 2012 in the BMP.) Read more: ”

— Chris Conti, Providence Phoenix

“All My Love” leaps into a Heart-Pat Benatar mode with an acoustic-electric guitar mesh. Bellarosa gets 1970s style belty in her chorus. She kicks scratches, and claws her way through this tough mama vocal approach. Listeners will like the way she sings this song while at the same time becoming afraid to run into her in a dark alley. This one could be a bad ass hit single.”

"Open Up" Nominated for Album of the Year by Solo Artist ~ Limelight Magazine 2012 Music Awards

— Limelight Magazine, Limelight Magazine

"All of the songs are gems, but she definitely saved the best for last, Track #9. "Shine" is an anthemic closer to the CD...It is such a powerful song it could be a closing number for a rock musical or Broadway play."

— John Fuzek, Motif Magazine

"The Song of the Year songwriting contest has awarded Malyssa BellaRosa the Semi-Finalist placement in the song contest. Song of the Year receives entries from all over the world and only the top songwriters receive a Semi-Finalist placement in the songwriting competition." Song "All of My Love"

— SongoftheYear.com, Song of the Year

“Nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year by Solo Artist ~ Limelight Magazine 2012 Music Awards”

— Limelight Magazine, Limelight Magazine

“Bellarosa’s voice and songwriting make you picture her as some kind of exotic sorceress, a magical woman who can conjure many musical nuances. Like a magician, she suddenly brings the unexpected into full view from out of nowhere, with her musical sleight of hand.”

— Bill Copeland, Bill Copeland Music News

"Standout tracks on Open Up include "Moving On" and "Never Be"

— Marc Clarkin, Motif Magazine

"The Song of the Year songwriting contest has awarded Malyssa BellaRosa the Suggested Artist placement in the song contest for "Lover Undercover." Song of the Year receives entries from all over the world and only the top songwriters receive a Suggested Artist placement in the songwriting competition."

— Songoftheyear.com, "Song of the Year" Contest

"BellaRosa is singer-songwriter-guitarist on a mission. Her zeal to pursue her art should pay off in spades when she finishes up her debut solo CD."

— Bill Copeland, Bill Copeland Music News
