‘If First Aid Kit had more dirt beneath their fingernails, or CMAT spent less time beneath a glitter ball and a bit more time on a dark, dust-filled highway...they might produce this scuffed-up, heartfelt alt-country' - 'Brushed drums and a bruised heart’ live review Bristol 24/7
'Bristol's Elly Hopkins has a lazy swagger about her that I just adore on her new single 'Cecile'.... A genuinely lovely song even if it does smell a little of last night's bourbon.' Listen with Monger
'Playful yet deeply introspective, the song tackles modern themes amplified by social media: envy, self-image, and female competition. Hopkins masterfully captures that internal tension between admiration and resentment toward someone who seems to have it all.' R Mas Medio
'A stunning fusion of folk rock and soul...steeped in an enchanting retro aura' The Tonic
"Cecile" is visceral and human, melancholic and cozy, but also feisty and brave, full of emotion and intention, and perfect to listen to whenever we need to be alone with our thoughts.' PhonographMe
