A regal contender to become the new crowned prince of contemporary romantic music.
-CHUCK TAYLOR, BILLBOARD MAGAZINE
Soulful Swedish Singer / songwriter Anders Holst blends smoky jazz with the adult contemporary melodicism of Sting, Seal, and Leonard Cohen. Introspective, spiritual, and romantic, Five deftly weaves pop, jazz, and classical into a smooth style all its own.
-JAMES C. MONGER, ALL MUSIC GUIDE
Five, is exceptional entertainment. Highly recommended.
-LEE PROSSER, JAZZREVIEW.COM
There is something of Michael Franks in his voice, something reminiscent of Peter Skellern and, hidden in there somewhere perhaps, the wistfulness of Leonard Cohen. ...there deserves to be a place for an album like Five that dares to be different.
- DENIS POOLE, SMOOTHVIBES.COM
This debut offering by the soulful, deep voiced Swedish born singer, songwriter and producer may only be five tracks long but its soaring melodies, rich production texture and clever wistful lyrics pack an emotional punch equal to most full-length collections... beautifully blends pop, jazz, classical and chill flavors.
-JONATHAN WIDRAN, SMOOTH JAZZ NEWS
...combine warm, thoughtful, romantic, and, at times, bittersweet lyrics with melodies that will get inside your head and under your skin... add a smoky, intriguing voice, lush instrumentation, and sparkling production... and you've got a grand success.
