REVIEWS
'Pete Teo could prove to be the Chinese world's most important crossover artist. He paints his stories with the brushstrokes of a master - his colours are dynamic yet washed out, revealing melancholia.'
MUSIC STREET JOURNAL
'If Rustic Living was the prettiest girl in the class, Television is Miss Asia... beautiful, sophisticated and, importantly, intelligent. If the world catches on to Teos talent, he may well become one of Malaysias biggest exports.'
MALAY MAIL
'The singer/songwriter genre is rife with balding, middle-aged men. The music they make often lacks balls. Younger musicians like Elliott Smith and Jeff Buckley have departed before their time, leaving ample room for musicians who truly care about writing and singing to leave their marks. Kevin Tihista is one of these; David Garza is another. Add Malaysian musician Pete Teo to the ranks as well.'
SPLENDIDEZINE
'Every once in a while an artist comes in from the fringes to shake things up and challenge the preconceptions we have all become comfortable with which is why artists like Pete Teo are important.'
KAKISENI
'Mellow, mature and with more than a hint of studied cool to his repertoire, Pete Teo is making ambitious music that requires his audiences to use their brains.'
THE STAR
'Pete Teo is an artist-poet-musician in the truest sense of the word. His songs are poetry in motion. If you have lost your head lately and need to get back to reality with both feet on the ground, this man offers wonderful music with sobering thoughts to help you get there.'
MUZIK REVIEW
'There is nothing about Teo's disc that I can fault. It's a gem from start to finish.'
NY ROCK
'Pete Teo, Malaysian native, might very well be a pop music genius. His world view helps to create an otherworldly aura as he comes at us from an angle that were not accustomed to. Theres a vague sense of mystery shrouding him, building a pleasant curiosity. This is intriguing work; it feels like Zen pop, hinting at lifes answers but offering only questions.'
MINOR 7TH
'Simultaneously manic depressive, brooding, bittersweet and epic to the point of being cinematic, Pete Teos work is pure exhilaration.'
THE MUSICIAN
'I think the best way to put this music into a specific genre would be to say that it is an entertaining form of alternative-folk. This is an art form expressed from an individual's soul. The man is a poet, a true artisan developing his craft in every composition.'
ASSOCIATED CONTENT
'Perhaps its his tender songwriting that puts words to lovemaking, or maybe its the fondness with which he strums the guitar; but the outcome is ground shatteringly good pop songs. It is guaranteed to sand down the rough divide between the cult fanatics that are already attached to every wisp that Pete Teo is involved and the new fan that has only recently caught on.'
