"Commanding a large cheering section while seated smiling behind her keyboard, Hughes sometimes sounds like the new Sarah Slean, except with more Rufus Wainwright theatrics and a decisive pinch of punk.........Definitely a performer to watch out for."

"She writes in a sparkling pop style with slight elements of jazz and cabaret that betray her pedigree, and her vocals often bubble over into striking classical and operatic runs." EYE WEEKLY I would describe my music as "theatrical alternative punk pop"...

Hi Allie I just listened to a couple of the new songs. I love My Leo. Congratulations again on A New Brain. Keep writing. You have something special. You always reminded me of a young Mary Margaret O'Hara. Different, but similar.
Great article in this issue of Eye Magazine 'Allie Hughes writes in a sparkling pop style with slight elements of jazz and cabaret that betray her pedigree, and her vocals often bubble over into striking classical and operatic runs'
