    This is a quiet album, simmering with authenticity and potential.

    Seven songs in 19 minutes feel like a tidy introduction to this contemplative Californian. [Aug 2021, p.21]

    A debut album that maintains a warm, analog feel and the nuanced vocal performances of a seasoned performer.

    Candlepower isn't the full picture yet, and it only lasts seven tracks and 19 minutes, but it's a fine start. [Jul 2021, p.81]

    This mini-album is an astonishing debut coming from a relatively new artist. Vocals that are oozing with so much passion and lyrics filledThis mini-album is an astonishing debut coming from a relatively new artist. Vocals that are oozing with so much passion and lyrics filled with emotions that can make anyone moved. Every song is fresh and fun from start to finish and leaves you wanting more. My favorite songs are "Original Goodness," "Believer," and "Ophelia." If I were forced to pick a song that is my least favorite, I would pick "Reunion." It's not bad; it's just not as hard-hitting as all of the other tracks. Overall, I think it's exciting to see where her career could potentially go, and with that, I think this is a positive start for her career.
