'Deep Waters' was mastered and produced with the help of the producer and engineer John Brough (who has worked with top artists including Queen, Gabrielle, The Beautiful South, and Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens).RECENT REVIEWS SAY:"...........She's been compared to Dido, but she writes better songs..... and in an age when everyone wants to be famous, she'd rather not be.... Stavia has produced a disc that should be at the top of the shopping list of any 30-something in search of an intelligent lyric wrapped in the sort of catchy hooks and melodies you just can't get out of your head". 'WHAT'S ON'"Deep Waters" is lovely - charming and addictive'. **** Amazon.com (US) reviews - 2006"Strong and Intelligent Music" **** "This album has gold written on it, holding many great tracks including out of the star tracks- I Don't Need You and Break Loose ...... This woman's voice fits well with the tone of this album and the background music blends well with her lyrics........ anyone into smart rock/ pop should check this out . CDBABY REVIEWS(EP review): "......'Falling', wrapped in surging strings..is a truly moving experience of love at its most vulnerable. The up-tempo 'Lucky Day', meanwhile, is a perfect blast of grown-up pop........ Radio 2 DJs not playing these songs should be guilty of a criminal offence!"
