"Her voice is glorious"
Betty Clarke, The Guardian

“She combines the power of PJ Harvey with the vulnerable sensitivity of Beth Orton and Tracey Thorn"
John Coleman, Whats On In London

"Creamy vocals and dreamy melodies. She's going to win a lot of hearts"

"Rosie Wilby treats her guitar as an extension of herself in a manner that puts the likes of Sheryl Crow to shame...Her voice is glorious, ranging from the trembly heights of Kate Bush to a wistful, candyfloss lightness, warm and welcoming."
Betty Clarke, The Guardian

"London-based singer-songwriter Rosie Wilby's debut album majors in dreamy, largely acoustic pop, that bustles with well-arranged harmonies and soothing melodies. The wistful lyrical matter hinges on themes of love and loss, but the overall sound is pleasingly summery, and perked up by rich instrumentation throughout"
Tim Perry, The Independent

“yet another example of musical genius minus a recording deal"

“She's the kind of singer songwriter that should be loved by urban cowgirls and cowboys under the bright lights of big cities everywhere. The sweet songstress enchanted the room with her honey-toned torch songs about lovers who don't love you back. Her 'Precious Hours' record is a songbook that, once open, is not easily forgotten”

"Rosie Wilby has been compared to the likes of Patsy Cline. Her music manages to sound simultaneously contemporary and traditional - with emotional, personal songs frequently based on London themes"
Evening Standard - Dec 2002

"Wilby and her band are the stuff of dreams - strong, incisive lyrics; clean, pure vocals; delicious harmonies and acoustic guitar playing of the very best kind......Especially recommended for those who like Rickie Lee Jones, Roseanne Cash and Lucinda Williams. 'Tis truly manna from the heavens"
