"A new voice in global music that must be heard ... Bloomingly beautiful ... Aysenur's simply breathtakingly gorgeous singing voice - very similar to the younger Bulgarian singers, and possibly Márta Sebestyen might be another point of reference - is a unifying sound throughout. Sometimes alone or accompanied by just one instrument, or equally backed with many other female and male voices and an intricate weave of acoustic and electric instruments, giving texture and grain, evoking strong feelings of place, listening to the album truly is like a journey ... This is the go-to album for anyone interested in Black Sea music (...), [and] will reward anyone adventurous enough to want to connect with one of the great albums and singers of our time ... Masterpiece".
