Band Members: "The first time you hear Tokeli sing, within seconds you realize you are somewhere rare and marvelous. Cocooned in her captivating warmth, cradled in her lithe lyricism, you are helplessly, willingly swept away on her magic cloud, spellbound in this moment she is conjuring just for you. What kind of sorcery is this? Who knows or cares?"Carl Hammond
Influences: Her voice is velvet, her interpretations, maverick -- she's a composer's dream come true. Her bittersweet rendition of "I'm So Relieved" will give you a reason to hope, and her vocal styling on "Someday" is a like listening to a soft summer breeze. This may be Tokeli's first CD, but it's definitely not her last." Lori Tritel
Sounds Like: "The arrival of Norah Jones has us longing for the dark-haired jazz mistress of the night, her luscious voice crooning in our ears. If that's what you have been dreaming of after playing those Jones records too much, you'll find comfort in the sultry tones of Tokeli. ... It's quite extraordinary hearing a woman so young have complete mastery over such old and time-tested material. Unlike Jones, Tokeli has real versatility, capable of expressing melancholy and joy with equal aplomb. ... Tokeli shows different sides here; not all of her singing sounds the same. Her greater range allows her to experiment quite successfully." INK19, August 2006
