Slettahjell: Very recommended
Solveig Slettahjell - for tida covergirl i puls.no - får strålende mottakelse også i utlandet. Les hva Terry Berne i Music & Media skriver:
- "Slow Motion Orchestra" is one of the best vocal debuts in recent memory. Slettahjell´s voice is as soulful and seductive as they come, while her treatment of songs is never less than emotionally engaging. Few of her contemporaries have dared to approach standards with the originality and daring of this soon-to-be celebrated Norwegian singer who combines utter command of her art with a vocal charisma not heard since Diana Krall´s emergence nearly a decade ago. The band which accompanies her here, fronted by Sjur Miljeteig on trumpet and Morten Qvenild on piano, is often inspired as well, and on iconoclastic and thoroughly modern versions of "My Heart Belongs To Daddy" and others, they lend the perfect stylistic foil to Slettahjell's smoldering but smart delivery. Very recommended."
