“Of Danish and Tibetan descent, Kesang Marstrand presents 12 original, gentle, folk-style lullabies with excellent guitar and/or kalimba accompaniment. With a sweet, folksy voice, similar to Elizabeth Mitchell's, she quietly sings about dandelions, crickets, sleepy towns, green leaves, blankets, resting, sleeping, and other bedtime appropriate themes. This album would be useful for pajama story times, and parents will welcome it for lulling little ones to sleep.”

“She displays the intelligence and polished skills of a seasoned musical veteran on these sessions. Bodega Rose occasionally recalls Norah Jones' early work, not so much that Jones appears to be an influence but simply because Marstrand has a similarly effortless gift as a vocalist and performs with an easy grace and confidence that make this music sound second nature to her. Bodega Rose's greatest strength is its simplicity -- it's the work of an unusually gifted singer and composer that gives her plenty of space to show off her talents, and whatever else is here adds to the songs, rather than distracting from her performance. It's a superb debut, and a clean, sharply focused portrait of an artist with an impressive degree of potential.”

“Il y a des artistes qui vous touchent plus particulièrement, qui sont unique à vos yeux. Selon moi, Kesang Marstrand fait partie des plus belles découvertes faites en 2008 avec son fabuleux premier album folk Bodega Rose. Elle a ce petit truc en plus indéfinissable, la télé réalité le nomme le facteur x, moi je l'appelle le talent avec un grand T. Tout chez elle me plaît et me passionne : sa somptueuse voix veloutée qui dégage une infinie pureté, beauté et douceur ; sa musique folk caractérisée par un dépouillement qui invite au recueillement ; et finalement ses paroles apaisantes et poétiques. Je ne suis pas simplement sous son charme, je suis véritablement hypnotisée par son charisme d'artiste. L'année passée son deuxième album est sorti : Hello Night Un album acoustique idéal pour petits et grands qui procurera ravissement, plénitude et beaucoup de tendresse. Que c'est bon de rêver ! Note Finale : A+(+)”

“Hello Night: Unlike any other lullaby album you'll hear this year, Hello Night is the creation of New York-based singer-songwriter Kesang Marstrand. It's buoyed by Marstrand's simple songs, spare accompaniment, and her delicate, beautiful voice. Especially her voice, which is clear and just about perfect for an album like this... It's an album you could spend many nights with. Recommended.”

“There’s an exotic nature to her songs that goes far beyond just her unusual name...music that is beautiful, delicious, effortless and almost floats on air.”

“Bodega Rose is a striking first album, filled with poetic lyrics and not only heartfelt but talented arrangements....Kesang has a poise and unpretentious confidence about her sound that often takes decades to cultivate”

"Kesang is an exceptional songwriter. She has a voice that is nothing less than heart-stopping with its clear beauty."
