"But Naomi Greenwald EP is more than just another marriage of coastal alt/indie and midlands country/folk (she is originally from deep Pennsylvania, before moving first to Sodom, and now to Gomorrah), but a voice that should be heard above the din." QRO, 5.25.09
"Naomi Greenwald possesses the kind of singing voice so replete with expression, inflection and sincerity that perhaps someday she might be mentioned in the same breath as Natalie Merchant, Joni Mitchell or Blondie. Her timbre is that good. Though Greenwald is touted as a folk artist — she delivers two fine Americana tracks here (“Fading,” “Foolish”) — her indie-rock songs, with touches of Americana and R&B, set her apart from other folkies. “Secret Assembly,” a lilting, spacious ballad, reveals her time spent in New York City, where she earned a master’s degree in literature (naturally, her songwriting is succinct and full of imagery), ala Bob Dylan and the Velvet Underground. But Greenwald’s indie-rock prowess begins to blossom on “Desire to Fall” before reaching full bloom on “Lonesome,” with its urbane beat and nostalgic underground vibe. Stirring debut from an artful and enchanting artist." Cityview, 5.20.09
"By artfully blending together the sounds of folk and indie rock with her own personal style, Naomi Greenwald produces a modern yet nostalgic vibe.... truly powerful and moving..." Buzzine Hollywood, 4.11.09
"Naomi Greenwald’s vocal is beguilingly sweet and expressive. ... and this debut is an enchanting listen." Collected Sounds, 3.31.09
“Naomi’s beautiful voice leads this collection of seven romantic folk and bluegrass songs.” – RootsTime / Belgium, 3.20.09
"Naomi Greenwald is a gifted song-writer and a diverse vocalist... a fine debut effort and Greenwald is certainly a name to keep an eye on for the future." Americana, UK, 3.17.09
"I caught a couple of tracks from Naomi Greenwald a few days ago, & loved her voice. Turns out there's a self-titled CD, just seven tracks (long EP or album?) out May 5th, and very pleasant listening it is; mixing acoustic Americana, a bit of Indie'ish rock & some fine string arrangements too." How Marvellous, 3.6.09
Your Music is very soothing. Naomi, I especially love the slide guitar in secret assembly. I still play a bit of slide guitar myself. Thanks for the add!
