Sounds Like: "A voice that sounds like a lake of black honey." - METRO
"If Kate Bush died and went to hell, she might sound like London gothic folk chanteuse Catherine Anne Davies... kooky and spooky and very good." - NME
"Possessed of a rare sense of resilience and wonder that recalls Tori Amos, Joni Mitchell, and Joanna Newsom, Davies' delicately contrived but richly evocative material is worth seeking out. " - THE DAILY MIRROR
"A very special voice... it would only need a lucky break for her to hit the big time. Beautiful and brilliant." BBC.CO.UK
"Brilliantly sultry." TIME OUT
