Forget About You:
“The music is superb and spreads its beauty with the pleasant beats.”
“Whisked away from the winter blues and laying on a beach with the heat of the sun on your skin, the smell of sunscreen and perfect blue skies - this track is perfect for the escapee who wants to take a trip to timelessness.”
“A reminder that the trip-hop of the nineties is still appealing to a 21st century audience.”
Somebody:
“This track will drag you in and pull you under. It has a dark edge to it but there is plenty to indicate a little hope, not least a harp if you listen hard enough - sounding it's heavenly strings behind an ethereally rich instrumentation in places. Some of the samples, particularly the sound of childrens’ voices in the background really add to the dreamy vocal. Open this door to find what’s hidden and you won't be disappointed.”
“The emotion in the song was striking.”
“Amazingly well arranged.”
Where No One Goes
“Very different to anything I've heard before.”
“A very dynamic track, full of emotion, suspense with the piano and vocals. The violin is expertly played and adds to the romany flavour. A very powerful and evocative piece.”
“If I were a filmmaker, I would license this track immediately.”
“A thematic piece, which I can hear as a part of a movie score. Love the sound effects. Love the vocal delivery, which works great with the instrumental. And girl, you can hold a note for sure! Subject matter works well with the instumental and vocals. Great development of the song too. with dramatic breaks and a soulful delivery of vocals. Don't understand what you're saying but I can feel it!”
“The eerie, ethereal sound to the vocalist completely compliments this, and stays with the listeners. She is truly strong, and holds an amazing, haunting song up. Fantastic.”

Hidden Door is a group made of creative and open minded people . It came out as an idea of Agata and Jakub , after some time they started collaborate with Agata’s schoolmate Matt. Later talented bassist Alex Praill and saxophonist Oliver Seton joined the band. In the end of February Hidden door had released a debut EP called “When flowers died…”, which is available to buy in every major MP3 store including iTunes (worldwide), Amazon MP3, Napster, eMusic and many more! Hidden Door had also recorded a single called “Karma”. The material for that release was produced and recorded in Ealing and Vestry Hall Studios by Georgios Mavridis. The music of Hidden Door is hard to classify. It’s a mixture of trip – hop, electronic, rock , jazz and folk. Every song of Hidden Door’s repertoire has a different flavour. That’s what makes the sound unique and the live show unforgettable.
Despite of members young age(the average age in a band is 21) the band succeeded on both London and European scene. Hidden Door had radio broadcast on bbc6, German freies radio, Polish Radio Grudziadz, Sfera Radio UMK, Wroclaw Studenckie Radio and an interview and broadcast on Polish Radio London. Hidden Door also had a TV broadcast on two of polish TV stations: once on TV Mlawa and twice(broadcast and interview) on TVSM Grudziadz.
