"Love. Love. Love. I love Ivana XL's music. For those of you who've been longtime YANP readers, you might remember that she used to go by the name of Ivana C. Doesnt' matter what she goes by, however, as her songs are just perfect."
"For those who have experienced her songs in one way or another, it should come as no surprise that I'm a huge supporter of hers."
~ YouAintNoPicasso.com


"While about 90% of my current music listening is done digitally, there are certain things you want to have a piece of... something to hold on to. For me, an Ivana XL album is one of those things. Besides that it just confuses the hell out of me that there aren't a gaggle of labels dying to release this stuff."
~ TheBatAndTheBird.blogspot.com


"Most of what I put here are mixtapes, but Ivana XL deserves her own post....Beautiful. Her mellow voice only supported by a simple guitar creates music you want to curl up to. Perfect for now."
~ TheBlueWalrus.com


"O blog comparou o som dela ao da Fiona Apple. Eu achei que a voz dela tem o eco e a agudez da Joanna Newsom, só que com letras mais honestas e melodias mais acessíveis."
~ MTV Brazil


"All Ivana XL requires is a guitar and maybe a little whiskey. Her lyrics are paced slowly over lazy guitar strokes, abiding by folk traditions but with a street-smart Millennial edge ("So F*ck having babies and rocking them to sleep). There's a tinge of melancholy drizzled over it all and her tone is lackadaisically bluesy - like she's preaching to the choir and she knows it."
~ RCRDLBL.com


"This post punk singer songwriter may be the next indie darling"
~Slowcoustic.com


"Brooklyn’s Ivana XL has a voice that’s made for an iPod on an overcast day. Part whiskey-soaked kiss-off, part hushed back-room confessional, this girl may only have her guitar to keep her musically company but her razor-sharp barbed lyrics, drawn out slowly, pointedly, poignantly, makes her music sound powerfully free of adornment... There’s a gentle, gradual unhinging in Ivana’s delivery that’s endearing, and it’s what makes her compelling and borderline addictive."
~ ResonatorMagazine.com


"Picking up her guitar and sitting on a stool upon a simple stage, her voice had tangible electricity that immediately captured the crowd (which is quite a feat for a rowdy Friday fuck-the-work-week crew). And in the mass of tattooed boys, hipster haircuts, and forgotten flannels, Ivana provoked my pulse and took me on a sultry lyrical journey that ended far too quickly and with many unanswered questions."
~ NewYorkCool.com


"There is still something incredibly mistifying about receiing an artist's handwritten CD-R in the mail; when the disc drops out of the manilla enveolpe into your lap, one can't help but invision the artist packaging their own material and spreading their sound about like a musical Johnny Appleseed. Of course, this may be an overly-romanticized view of how many starving artists get their feet off the ground but nonetheless it has its charm. That's not the only charming aspect of Ivana XL, she's got the pleasing combination of both smooth vocals and sweet songs to softly hit your eardrums like leaves falling from a tree".
~ IGuessImFloating.blogspot.com


"Ivana XL is a Brooklyn-based (at least for now) singer-songwriter who weaves tales and melodies from her own, dare we say gypsy, lifestyle. You see, Brooklyn is her home base now, but according to her bio she apparently grew up on the road with her mother, ingesting classical, rock, blues and country all in equal measures while teaching herself to strum a guitar and find her voice. The results speak for themselves, a collection of assured and lilting standards that ruminate on love, modern life, and the sum of her experiences thus far in an incisive and engaging way."
~ Earfarm.com


"We love Ivana XL. she can sing with the best of 'em and seems to have a better grasp than most of her female contemporaries when it comes to writing self-deprecating lovelorn ditties."
~ The L Magazine


"She has a very clear and concise way of transporting the listener right into her emotions and yet keeping them on a course of her own. Now many female musicians in this genre have created such simple and captivating music."
~ ITunes Customer


"Ivana XL doesn't require much more than a few choice chords and her beautifully waifish vocals to be devastatingly convincing... While Ivana's short and sparse songs might be bathed in a healthy dose of wistfulness and charm, don't confuse them as light and frothy musical exercises.. And though the jury might still be out on whether or not she is a lone wolf in sheep's clothing, play nice when it comes to this talented songwriter."
~ The Deli Magazine


"Sugary and sparse, Ivana XL adds the necessary sice in her lyrics. Dark love gone wrong songs like "First Train" and Ex.Oh." would be beautiful stand outs on breakup playlists."
~ KimberlySays.blogspot.com


"Ivana’s voice is haunting with a Regina Spektor-like ting (but don’t get caught up in the whole comparison thing, because she definitely has her own low-key style). You get a bluesy classical charm from her songs mixed with a splash of modern feel."
~ Knox Road


"Ivana XL can do no wrong. I fucking love her new song. Yesterday I was listening to her and Justin said, "You know how you can set some alarm clocks to play a certain song as the alarm, and eventually you inevitably wind up hating it because it reminds you of waking up unwittingly? I don't think I could ever grow to hate these songs."
~ AllisonWrote.blogspot.com


"Continuing my love fest for female singer-songwriters, I’d like to present to you a wonderful lady by the name of Ivana XL....It’s raw, it’s honest and it’s unmistakably pretty."
~Oliver Primus, thefourohfive.com


"I stumbled upon Ivana XL last week and have been rocking this track everyday since." (Ex.Oh.)
~ MinneapolisFuckingRocks.blogspot.com


"Her lyrics are raw and honest as they can get and her soft-spoken lyrics can be heard miles away. Ivana XL is one of the few artists who can beautifully compose music that is stripped down to the core of every hidden feeling."
~Beatcrave.com


"Some of the things that she sings about aren't all sugar and spice but there's nothing better to fill up your heart than her simple strumming and naked voice. It's the type of music that makes me want to sigh, in a good way."
~ AsTheRadioPlays.blogspot.com


"Ivana XL plays guitar and vice songs precisely the way that they sould be played: with plenty of silence, like they're being coaxed out of black space inside the instrument. Sure, they are songs about relationships and about not being all that happy - the standard fare of this kind of music. But sometimes a song is good enough that you believe that those things are actually pretty important and like you've felt the exact same way yourself."
~ Popsheep.com


"Her sound is precise and her delivery is almost faultless. Ivana creates an atmosphere that instantly grabs the audiences attention. Her songs are nicely packaged, endearing and relaxing moments. Songwriting brevity is one of Ivana's strong points, like any good writer, she's able to get her point across concisely."
~ JezebelMusic.com

Hey Ivana. I've finally finally got around to
uploading my videos from the Glasslands Galleries show in Brooklyn that you played with Caleb Coy and She Keeps Bees. I know they're not the greatest quality, if only I'd
had the technology then that I have now.  Still, great performances all the same.






Hope you enjoy the videos, they're all on www.youtube.com/kingdaverecords

Hey Ivana, just saw your 'Field Recordings' video. It was really really good, shame about the background noise but still amazing to see.  Remember when I came out to New York and said let's meet up in park or wherehaveyou, I've got a video camera and portable recording studio, just sit on a bench and play some songs...this is exactly what I had in mind!  I know this is a year later but it's cool to see you've done it now. :)  Like the new songs too.  You're a winner.
