Press Reviews / Credits |
"...one of the finer singers in town."—Steve Morse, the Boston Globe
"[The Trouble with Success is] huge and small, simple and complex, humble and confident all at the same time." – IndieWorkshop.com
"Paula Kelley reaches for the stars with her new album. She winds up creating a disc that sounds as if it were from another planet, if not another (better) universe."—Skratch Magazine
"[Paula Kelley] has achieved with this charming album what previous few pop artists have managed: shimmering orchestral pop!" – Power of Pop
"...one of the most astonishing pop albums I've heard in some time."—Aiding & Abetting
"The fresh, upbeat sound of this album is almost impossible to dislike. Instead of sounding like a jaded artist who has turned bitter with time...Paula sings with the enthusiasm of a woman who has just recorded her first album. In a word...this album is... groovy (!). Wonderfully inviting."—Babysue
"...it will have you begging for an encore."—The Noise
"...with a wonderful blast of big-band arrangements tempered with Bacharach-style baroque pop, Kelley has made the double-take album of the year."—Mundane Sounds |
