“With noir-ish hints of Lee Hazlewood’s unearthly country-rock, Ray sits midway between Nina Simone and Isobel Campbell, and is the better for it.” - MOJO

"Gemma Ray embodies a character from a 50'sfilm noir, delivering something that comes across as both sexy and incredibly dark, drawing everything from Nina Simone to Loretta Lynn, her luscious songs have the power to soothe the worst of heartaches." Midem Magazine 2008.

“A brilliantly brooding prospect. Like a grittierLorretta Lynn, she’s from the wrong side of the tracks. Uncouthly ace.” – NME

“A startlingly good album” – Clash

“Imagine Norah Jones on Amy Winehouse’s drugs” –Q

“An entrancing tapestry of soul and blues, full of dark themes and late-night confessions, all presented in a sultry, seductive voice. A wonderful debut album” – The Sun

"Gemma Ray's music defies easy categorisation, her classic pop tunes are host to a bewildering range of foreign bodies. You could do worse than inagine PJ Harvey in thrall to the Shangri-La's - both Dry River and Hard Shoulder rise from minor key squalls to to full girl-group majesty. Bring It To Me comes cantering in like a Marty Robbins gunslinger ballad,  while Rise of The Runts shows she has no problem producing straight sparkling pop" - WORD
