Eliane Amherd is the sort of performer that we’ll be hearing a lot more from if there’s any justice in the world. - Jazz Blues & the truth
Eliane Amherd sounds what would happen if Norah Jones let her inner Patty Smyth (of Scandal), Pat Benatar, and Natalie Cole out. This is the pop music that pop music itself forgot it could be. - This is Book’s music
Amherd is not only a exceptionally good singer but she is also an accomplished songwriter and guitarist. - Jazz Times
Amherd's music is fun, funky, sassy and cool and deserving of much wider recognition. A mix of soul and funk, aided and abetted by some Latin and Afro beats. At times both Curtis Mayfield and Gil Scott-Heron spring to mind. - All About Jazz
