... "Cosmopolitan singer songwriter… draws from the experiences of a life lived on remote Scottish islands, in European capitals & on the LA club scene, to create a beguiling hybrid of ambient beats, experimental electronics & vocalising rooted in 40's jazz… erotically-charged percolations… this is a luscious piece of work." Johnny Black, Q Magazine / "Curious album... makes great listening." Flux Magazine, UK / "...superb Chill-out..." (album of the month) Sunday Post, UK / "Very romantic, blessed with a superb, pure voice…second to none." Caledonia Magazine, UK / "...a delightful trip hop-influenced collection of songs... 'Moonrope' has Gordon sounding like a jazz singer while the beats are buzzing round like bees... 'The Healing' circles Gordon's vocals in a Cocteau Twins-like fashion, while the backing is more soulful... 'Forbidden Fruit' is hauntingly sensual & has a faint touch of Björk's latest work..." Anna Maria Stjärnell, Collected Sounds, US / "If you are looking for some new music that is eccentric & different from what you may be used to hearing… 'Someone to Dance With' is different from the usual music about love & relationships that many artists often record. A unique listening experience." Orcasound, Canada & US / "...utterly fantastic, I'm completely in love with her voice. There's so much strength in subtleties. And lyrically she's captivating.
