June 30, 2010
Alyse Black HOLD ONTO THIS Alyse Black has an almost mystical beauty to her voice. Her phrasing curls seductively and trails off like a wisp of lover’s breath on a winter night while her pure and delicate tones enchant with the prowess of a skilled sorceress. Tracks like “Up In The Air (Not Too Late)” and “Super Hero” display the artist’s flair for writing catchy, yet original melody lines… (read more)
MusikReviews.com Review of "Hold Onto This"
June 23, 2010
Alyse Black has a voice that stops you in your tracks. It’s a natural voice that someone is simply born with rather than worked on over years. She is a natural born singer who thankfully gave up her career in international business to return to her true love, music. Hold Onto This is an everyday album. No matter what happens in your day there is a song on this album to fit what you’re feeling. It’s… (read more)

ALYSE BLACK Seattle singer/songwriter and pianist who won the 2007 Billboard Song Contest (jazz) for her tune "Stood For Stand For." She's quirky in a pop/light jazz sort of way, and her voice is reminiscent of Regina Spektor (all right!) and a slightly less-pouty Fiona Apple. Best of all, she writes catchy, upbeat songs that don't tax the brain or overdo the quirk factor. Listen & learn: www.alyseblack.com.… (read more)

Bootleg Magazine Review of "Hold Onto This"
December 17, 2009
Alyse Black Hold Onto This  Alyse Black’s album title is apropos. The conviction in her voice resembles the wave of jazzy female singers like Amy Winehouse, Adele, or Duffy. Like Adele, Black doesn’t overcompensate – she just elegantly sings without gimmick. The control of her vocals is tight, tidy, and on point, much like classically trained Regina Spektor. The twelve tracks… (read more)
