The following review can be found at: http://www.fatea-records.co.uk/magazine/releases.html

Donna Fullman EP: 'Happiness + Victory'

"Strong melodies and the interplay between Fullman's rich velvet vocal and Nelson Day's delicate guitar and piano work are the trademark features throughout "Happiness + Victory", he also knows a good riff when he hears one. The EP is a singer/songwriter lead release that draws of jazz, folk and blues as mediums for the words and emotions. This is sit down and listen to music, candles and red wine, with the exception of "Hello Shanghai" which is more of an embrace your partner and dance seductively around the room type number. Donna Fullman has laid down a marker of intent."

Neil King, FATEA Magazine

......................................................................

"Having caught Donna's gig at Brighton Live, I was very impressed by the compelling performance and her unassuming persona. The band were superb too."

Wayne Imms, Founder of The Space, Brighton

......................................................................

"Fresh and bright songstress with a gentle, but sophisticated edge."

Sean Creed, bRiGhTon PhlUx on Radio Reverb 97.2 FM

......................................................................

"Donna Fullman at her quietist is Martha Wainwright without balls, owing to her higher sense of lyricism. Her simple yet eloquent melodies swoop low over steel-strung chords in an unpretentious manner affecting those around her to stop and listen. So stop and listen."

Bed Springs Music Promotions

......................................................................

"When Fullman dons her blues coat for 'The Brave Favours The Sea' you can hear that there is something further down in her soul, crying to get out, much like Jim Morrison would have been before breaking into his less temperamental and more r&b type tracks from L.A. Woman. That's a road Fullman probably wont take - but with an alto voice that might be ready for it, we can only cross our fingers and hope...."

Hi Donna. Thanks for your comment. My musical world is split half between rocking and more subtle folk music. I really like your sound, particularly the bluesy-folk of the song about the sea. I know some guys setting up gigs locally if you're interested
