“This soulful and jazz-tinged pop album…boasts major strengths, starting with his silky vocals, an appropriately lush production, and richly textured music…deftly written torch songs…” – The Aquarian Weekly

“[Jesse] wanted to recreate the vibe of Frank Sinatra and Chet Baker recordings here. Many of the songs feature lush arrangements, which aren't derivative of these recordings, but instead capture their essence. The result is a collection of songs that resonate with listeners in a similar way that classic torch songs do…As with the shibori technique, something beautiful emerges from life's difficult moments.” — All About Jazz

"Equal parts Rufus Wainwright and Frank Sinatra in his more brooding moments, Correll is a modern-day torch singer drawing on a variety of influences from jazz and pop to classic soul." — Americana Highways

 "Lyrical...dreamscape" - PopWrapped

 "...a fine showcase of Correll’s soul, jazz and folk roots" - JAZZIZ

 

"Over the past few years we’ve enjoyed the emergence of a number of American singer/songwriters who cleverly meld elements of country, Americana, jazz and soul into a soothing aural cocktail. Add to that soundscape mature lyrics that regularly question various status quos and you have some proper adult music – a music suited to the complex nuances of the 21st century. So, we’re thinking of people like Isaac Aragon, Jacob Collier and Gideon King. Now we can factor in Nashville-based musician Jesse Correll" - Soul&Jazz&Funk

 

"...minimalist instrumentation which allows the listener to focus on Correll’s smooth voice. However, it’s still bold enough to appeal to the fans of rousing pop performances in the vein of Rufus Wainwright or Ray LaMontagne." - East of 8th

 

"The poetic lyricism from Correll shows a creative engagement with complex emotions…a gorgeous blend of unsettling and sweetly cathartic…a work of theatricality. This is a beautiful, artful masterwork." - Ear To The Ground

 

"An instant good mood creator" - Music Injection

 

"deeply emotional and poetic…has bits of 50's Americana theater seeping in, bits of Rodgers and Hammerstein bridging classical and jazz pop strains into something moving and deeply romantic…from front to back is a touchstone into one's emotional core. Layers of loss and longing and passion materialized in a delicate beautiful way." - American Pancake
