“An astute songwriter who avoids cliches.....Ms. Correia is not just another quirky girl, the label often affixed to women who use their heads as aggressively as their hearts. She must face the fact that the music industry isn’t very good at promoting women who are more like the cat that eats the canary than the fragile bird itself. This singular talent warrants a chance to disprove easy expectations...Ms. Correia deserves to be embraced by a loyal audience.”
-The New York Times
Correia creates hypnotic, homespun songs that
draw from such influences as folk, pop, blues and french-style cabaret. Add to
that her mesmerizing voice and a lyrical dexterity akin to Bob Dylan’s, and
you come up with one great find.”
-Guitar World, Acoustic
“an accomplished songwriter...during her short set, she channeled an alcoholic
Korean war veteran whose apartment she acquired in New York “(“Chinatown”)
previewed the [girl’s room] tour’s most catchy song (“Daydream
Car”, which might do for her what “Fast Car” did for Tracy Chapman)
and and then concluded with a stunning re-creation of Edith Piaf, in what sounded
to be spotless French.”
-No Depression
“With a Rickie Lee Jones-style smoky voice and intimate story-songs that
Victoria Williams would be proud of, newcomer Amy Correia has launched herself
into the adult-pop market with panache....backed throughout by her own mandolin
and baritone ukelele, along with shimmering cymbal washes and light piano comping,
Correia has the courage to let her raw rural mysticism take center stage”
