PRESS REVIEWS:
Songs flow effortlessly from her finger tips with a bohemian, bluesy rock style that can be compared to Joni Mitchell and Janis Joplin. Everything about Hadara is genuine and honest. Her revealing lyrics give her music an intimate quality, like having a private conversation in a secluded local. (Sunday Mail UK 2004)
She blends her Israelis roots with a wealth of American influences, from Bob Dylan (to whom she pays homage in several songs) to Barry White. She confesses that she prefers to ad-lib while singing, giving her songs a rough, unpolished edge. She has a bluesy, husky voice - at odds with her girlish good looks. (Jewish Telegraph 2004 Glasgow)
She's brutally honest, a crazy combination of Tom Waits and Joni Mitchell with a Janis Joplin edge. (Tony Paris, US, 2000)
She soars to heights where the best international icons have, in their best moments. A unique voice, wisely used, she's all at once, stormy and soothing, girlish and mature, harsh and vulnerable, cynical and so loving. The most beautiful music around. (Ynet 2005)
The rebel girl Hadara is the closest thing here to a real rock-n-roll girl, in the Joplin-Mitchell-Sixties sense of the word. She's got a hippish sort of sex appeal and a voice that ranges from whispers through sexual fondling to a scream. She doesn't recall her own provocative lyrics by heart. She sings and writes about sex, relationships and quirky love. A kind of Feminism mixed with Chauvinism; girl power mixed with a tremendous need for love. (Yedioth Acharonoth, 2001)
