“Honest and vulnerable, the gentle tone of Sophie’s voice evokes nostalgia for something you can’t quite put a finger on...” - WTHB Blog
“Dynamic, vivid strings dance delightfully around Seng’s elegant, buoyant vocals, weaving in and out of introspection, never-ending hope and meaningful sadness. A luscious piano and the occasional sax complete the sonic picture, offering a refreshingly soothing aural frame, one that’s both hard-hitting and heartfelt. What more could you wish for?” - Gabriel Mazza
