Reviews on Facing South

"One of the best albums this year."

"...Maria Rylander has a very bright future ahead of her- right now. She´s an edgy singer and a fantastic composer that convinces. Her voice is warm and has character."

"I don´t think, I´m convinced that Maria Rylander is the artist that will be a big hit in Sweden 2011. If not it would be a scandal. Because I can´t see any competition for Maria Rylander´s debut album this summer. Swedish jazz has got itself a new hummingbird and her name is Maria Rylander. Remember where you read it first."

"Though Maria Rylander would certainly find her way in the world of indie pop, we believe that her future in music will develop in the jazz scene. Her voice is just better fitting to that genre, as can be heard in the songs on Facing South, her excellent debut record."

Rootstime, Belgium

*****

"An exciting album with a happy ending."
