“​ONE OF SEVERAL [OF JULIE NIEKRASZ’] INGENIOUS TOUCHES WAS INCLUDING LIVE PERFORMANCES BY VOCALIST LEE TAYLOR. THE SINGER’S UNCOMMON VOICE EVOKED SOMETHING OF BESSIE SMITH OR BILLIE HOLIDAY, BUT INVESTED HER MUSIC AND THE DANCE WITH WHAT WAS VERY MUCH HER OWN MEZMERIZING TAKE.”

“COMMUNICATIVE LYRICS, A DISTINCTIVE VOICE AND HEARTFELT MUSIC. A SOLID COMBINATION.”
