“Jadea Kelly is one of the shining jewels in the crown of Canada’s new songwriters. Her sound is pure Canadiana, that is, elements of prairie country, big city soul, and the sense to take just a little bit of both. In short, the more Jadea Kelly Canada can hear – the better”. – Tom Power, CBC Radio

“Jadea has one of the most distinctive voices in the Canadian roots scene. We expect big things from her” - Caroline Brooks of The Good Lovelies

“All of this comes from the vox Kelly has, with its staggering lilt and deceptive power” - Durham Entertainment

"This singer-songwriter is a popular member of the Toronto, ON roots scene, and the high quality of this, her second album, deserves to bring her wider attention. Kelly's sound falls a little more on the country side of the fence than many of her peers, and her vocals have the unaffected, openly emotional quality needed to shine in that context. This is a delightful album". – Exclaim! Magazine

Lay My Body Down: Gold-dusted mandolin provides the crowning touch to an alt-country nugget that proves you can sometimes actually play it soft without sounding more icky than Nashville circa ’93. - Georgia Straight Magazine

Eastbound Platform is a quiet, sweet country-influenced alternative record; Justin Rutledge and producer David Baxter gave her a song, but the highlight is a killer “breakup” lament called Lay My Body Down. - FYImusic.ca

With warbling lyrics such as "If drinking and pride and trains can take you away from pain, why does everything stay the same?," Jadea Kelly has created a folksy-bluesy country album perfect for a solo Sunday afternoon on the couch with coffee and a good book. 4 out of 5 stars!! - VUE Weekly
