'Her voice is truly something else - beyond compare.'

01/10/2006 JAZZWISE magazine

'A singer-songwriter with a stylised vocal reminiscent of Tori Amos, with a more Ray Charles influenced Rn'B slant.

'Whenever Faye plays she gives me goosebumps - her voice is truly remarkable'

26/01/0007 Mikey J - CD Unsigned

"A fresh aroma of coffeehouse blues, blended carefully with a spoonful of
arthouse and just that subtle flavour of jazz. Perceptive lyrics and
compelling songwriting, set against an acoustic backdrop of musical colour."

GOING SOLO BY FAYE PATTON

"Pure Versatility...

Faye describes herself as a jazz-inflected singer and songwriter. While there are traces of jazz across her latest offering, 'Going Solo', she reflects a number of influences across the 11 cuts - her versatile vocals and mature piano playing cannot be so easily filed under one genre. Being a stripped-down recording, her writing and personality are to the fore and exhibit a confidence in both her material and performance skills. I liked the dextrous riffs of the title song and the playful blues of 'I've Lost My Baby Now' before being mightily impressed by the late night duskiness of closer 'Season For Everything'."

GOING SOLO BY FAYE PATTON

''Eleven songs written and performed by Faye Patton on vocals and piano. She writes really good hooks, not just on the voice but in her piano part too, so its just all there in your head days later. Faye won my heart years ago with her line “There’s a woman on the tracks and I’m going to lay down by her side”. That spirit of empathy is alive as ever in ‘I know the prisoner’. This new collection sees Faye laying down her piano grooves as solid gold as ever with richer chords than formerly, and some intricate classically inspired excursions. With warmth, soul, delicacy and an impeccable sense of technique and tuning, she patiently unfolds her stories, from the heart rending ‘A Foolish Fool’ to the humourous ‘Darling I do’. ‘Season for Everything’ could be a classic jazz blues gem.
