“The band’s upbeat, catchy material was a resounding hit with voters, and saw them through to win the final of Street to Stage competition”

“We all know you need a thick skin to make it in the music industry. Jordanian singer-songwriter Emad Alaeddin must have a hide like a rhino.”

“Raising the Standard: If you’re Emad, you keep fighting for [your career's] growth, go philanthropic and start a charity for underfunded schools, ..., keep your day job, and stay humble.”

“Sunshine deserves to be on MTV Arabia”

“Emad Has Entered the Building! You know you've rocked to at least one of Emad Alaeddin's tunes!”

“The new disc sports a very different sound and sensibility than Alaeddin’s previous work. The few tracks we’ve heard so far alternate between the Jack Johnson-esque upbeat pop of “Sunshine” and a more somber, confessional ballad style that seems influenced by ‘90s indie-rock. ”

“Of Emad :" in Amman, the packs of pre-teen kids who are now staring at the curly-haired, goatee-bearded 30-year-old as we try to find somewhere for a cliché-free-but-still-locally-relevant portrait, have no idea he is even from this planet, never mind from these very streets."”

"The vocals of Emad Alaeddin are well done, and it must be said that he can sing, and he commands the lead vocal mic. Alaeddin is able to bring out the musicianship in his band members."
