"'A Song to the City' is a powerful, thought-provoking EP from Nadine Khouri, a Lebanese-born singer-songwriter who regales the listener with tales of travel and heartbreak. A music born of displacement and perennial outsider-status, Khouri's effortlessly powerful voice curls around the music, which at times can go from a skeletal finger-picked guitar swooping up to loop-based experimentalism. The themes are of traveling and the love-loss casualties along the road, and the songwriting here tells of a spirit at home on the road to the perfect song." - Rough Trade

“A gravely, female voice sings modern, alternative torch-songs and the atmosphere is so mesmerizing, so fascinating you wish this late night moment would last forever.” – Cracked Reviews

“The standout is ‘Blue of Princes’. This starts with a banjo sounding like it is played in a souk, half spoken until there is a moment worthy of Mazzy Star in their heyday when you realise the acoustic lilt you had been chilling to has slowly dropped off a cliff.” – God is in the TV

“Nadine Khouri has always had the ability to make quietness and subtlety sound huge and mean more than it possibly could� The overwhelming breathless cool of Nadine’s voice is something that you cannot go without hearing.” – The 405

“She simultaneously creates music which sounds both timeless and fresh. Deeply authentic and heartfelt, new single Rouge is mesmerising, captivating and utterly addictive.” – The Girls Are

“The beautiful use of percussion in Khouri’s latest perfectly accompanies the singer’s spoken word track creating a chilled ambience. Worth a listen if only for the lyrical brilliance ‘Rouge’ offers.” – Musicfix

“She really is a whispering assassin. This track, Rouge, lifted from the ‘A Song to the City’ is all brooding malevolence – brings to mind ‘Dry’ era PJ Harvey.” – Tasty Fanzine

“A deceptively serene Patti Smith staking claim to an early morning cityscape.” – Unpeeled

“A voice that can slide from velvet to gravel in a measure’s time� Mesmerizing.” – Ramsay Short, Daily Star

“Journeys of exquisite, ghostly, brilliance. An artist who is not happy merely to possess a beautiful voice, but also to take you somewhere with it.” – Club Ugly

“Intimate and intoxicating voice.” – Alt Sounds
