"They classify Karl Blau's music as country soul, but I'm going to shoot straight with y'all: this record transcends genre and everybody knows it. Country music is haggard and calloused and hung up on itself, and Introducing Karl Blau is none of those things".

"There are lo-fi excursions into afrobeat, campfire folk. disjointed post-punk and comforting indie rock without ever resorting to straight-up pranksterism. Karl Blau boasts a discography that is prolific and creatively restless, almost to a fault".

"The past isn't revived on Introducing Karl Blau. Instead, it's recontextualized by Martine as a showcase for a truly gifted song interpreter. Blau places himself completely in his producer's hands. He digs into these lyrics and charts for all he's worth, delivering a gem that is as timeless as its songs".
