elaine k reviews "[elaine k] has mastered the art of making records that sound contemporary while stil maintaining the focus of song content and artistic intention.... the real killer here is 'I Will Not Fight Your War', an apt and passionate anthem for the torn world we live in which avoids peace and love tweeness... this is elaine k's most mature album to date and proof that our loss in NY's gain." Irish Music Magazine, Hot Press review of "as is" Written by Jackie Hayden, September 2004 "elaine k definitely has a way with melody and poetic turn of a phrase. The songs are all pleasing and engaging. Her songs can be growly and gritty and then they float along loftily, then turn soulful and jazzy." " This album, a mix of funk rock, jazz, blues, and...well... elaine k, is at once tumultuous, powerful, peaceful and relaxing. This new album is miles ahead of her last and would be an excellent addition to anyone's collection.
"elaine k has honed her style on New York's acoustic scene, producing a second album that veers between plaintive remembrances and snarling recriminations....the fervid reception makes her upcoming tour an inviting proposition" "elaine k's second album puts this New York based Dublin artist firmly on the same map as the likes of Fiona Apple and Ani DiFranco....a mixture of soft and growling....it is her voice that gives her song their tone, which shows her ability as a singer." "The disc in its entirety is a great listen. "...you can't really pin a type of music on her,
"absolutely fantastic!"
