CD Reviews

Welcome To The World!
Paul Wolf | Brooklyn, New York Blue Planet U.S.A. | 06/22/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Uniquely like no one so much as herself, Greta Gertler's sterling debut of timeless intelligent song craft shapes a tellingly indelible imprint. Most notably charged with an alliance of her singular vocal charm and warmth. The beguiling melodies united with lyrical intimacy and passionate arrangments summoned by this Wurlitzer commanding pop mistress, foretell no restrictions to Gertler's considerably distinctive and generous talents. Featuring the grand and elequent sweep released from a multi textured production, alongside an inspired collaboritive ensemble cast, each song provides it's own inimitably desirable reward. Perhaps it is producer Noah Simon and Gertler's ambition to reveal something novel and gloriously incandescent with every visit. In fact they have delivered an unquestionable cause for celebration. For this Baby, dear reader, is the sound of a classic. The delightfully sensuous sound of an artist coming of age. Let us welcome her arrival-Paul Wolf
National Paul Radio"
A very, very impressive debut

"I heard Greta performing on Vin Scelsa's Idiot's delight. I found it hard to believe that somebody this good didn't have a recording contract. This is a self-recorded, self-sold album that's (in my opinion) one of the best albums of the year. I puzzled a little over the Time Out comment about her sounding like 70s pop. More like timeless pop. Perhaps it's the Wurlitzer organ plays to wonderful effect."
