"Deanna Devore incorporates Brazilian elements to give her music a gentle sexiness. Devore and Emma-Lee Moss (of Emmy the Great), like Duffy, stand to connect with college-age audiences and their parents - those who see the sound as new and those looking for something refreshingly connected to the music of their youth that never threatens and regularly raises a smile on the listener's face."
Phil Gallo, Variety
Two minutes before I left to come to this, I cracked open a CD from an artist I never heard before. I can't wait to listen to it again. It doesn't happen often but it happened today and it's absolutely thrilling... a local artist by the name of Deanna Devore who I never heard of before but I must find out more about her."
