"Maybe it comes down to her voice: strong and lowkey, intense and soft. The opposites combine in a higher synthesis; and an ongoing delight for ear, heart and mind"
Magnus Eriksson, Rootsy
"She sings.... with excellent diction, captivating, moving, and with much
passion. It's obvious that the material is close to her heart... unusually
fresh and unique..."
Lars Schill, GA
"We've heard of songs as weapons, but here it's more a question of songs
as a fasthealing ointment for your wounds. Annika Fehling has taken on writing music with roots in pop, jazz and folk. She clearly shows her mastery in whatever she takes on."
Torsten Braaf, EskilstunaKuriren
"Sensitively and with a fine feeling for melody she delivers song after song
with a talent for combining singer-songwriter tradition with pop and jazz."
Dan Backlund, Svenska Dagbladet
"Intimate singing is Annikas specialty. She's skillful in expressing
what is inside and what is soulful. Her voice is seductively expressive and flexible."
Juris Martinsson, Sala Allehanda
"Annika displays an international sound with the lyrical and vocal
sensitivity reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin and Emmylou
Harris."
Kirk Boyer, Lyric Street Records

Klyftor växer och orättvisor blir allt fler i takt med att fler och fler människor känner att inget går att ändra på, men hur liten man än kan känna sig så kan man alltid påverka och ju fler som känner att de kan påverka desto större ändring kan man åstadkomma. 'Korrespondens i Tystnadens Tid' heter den nya låten på min sida, kom in och lyssna och kom ihåg att ensam kommer aldrig vara stark!
Hej dear! The workshop still echoes in some minds as a very great event, most of all the show. Have heard very cool "critics" last days around. The articles in the daily papers are published yesterday and today. Awesome words! Have a great tour and would love to have you back asap! All love, Tina & Markus & ... Kobold ;)
They don't follow the fashion Latest trend, no reaction State of the world's affairs Seem indifferent, but really care Self-reliance what its all about Don't need it, you do without In the balance of the universe Doesn't matter could be worse ....."Exceptionally Cool".....
Annika, THIS IS IT, I have ONE LAST favor to ask you about this, could I? Since, as you might’ve heard, my picture won at the monthly level & Round 1, I got nominated for the LongHair Hawtie of the Year Finals (!) that ends today 7pm New York Time (can you just get it done now?) and... - was hoping for those 6 votes from you ;)
Yeah, you do need to get accepted as a friend of www.MySpace.com/OfficialLongHairHawties before you can vote, but they’re nice girls (the hawtie folks), no harm whatsoever :)
PS. since it would be so cool to win ‘by a landslide’ of like 7-800+ votes OVER and ABOVE over #2 guy (who will give us run for the money, he’s done that before!) - so, an 'evil' thought - maybe you can tell your friends to vote too? ;) Could you ask around?
And here are the next greetings from Leipzig ;-) (So, you see, you have to come down!! ;-) Thanks for the add and welcome on board! Really dig your music & voice - your version of "Lungs" is AWESOME!!! Markus must be a lucky guy to have this tour with you! We'll meet further on up the road! Best! Stefan
Received You CD, "Good For You" yesterday 28 October Annika.
Wow, one fantastic and stellar CD from "Good For You" through "Good For You-Remix". Really Love "Angels in Disguise", "Lungs", "Love", and "Already Home", however all songs are beautiful and I am most proud to own this CD.
Do hope that the balance of Your week is filled with Peace, Light, & Love.
DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell.
