"Pejak's singing voice sits at the treasure spot where Norah Jones, Victoria Spivey, and Bessie Smith all meet. Her songs here engage the wide range of American song forms, from blues and jazz to roots rock, loungey swing, and even Tex-Mex ... As her introduction to American audiences, Pejak's Roads That Cross is remarkable: her songs and charts are as sophisticated as they are diverse. And no matter what other musical forms she brings in, urban blues is the overriding one. Add to this an unsual yet extremely attractive singing voice, plus deft, enviable keyboard skills that would wow almost anybody, and you have an exciting artist who is just getting started".

"Given Pejak's journey from Serbia to Boston to Texas and now residence in Nashville, she's used to bidding farewell. It's in her subconscious. She reflects on the album, "I didn't realise until after making the album but most of these songs are about good-byes." Fortunately, we won't be saying our goodbyes to Pejak for a good long time. As Zito says, "She'll make you think. She'll make you cry. By the end of this record, she'll have you in the palm of her hand. For Katarina, this is only the beginning." For us, thankfully too. Pejak's songs will linger in your head for days on end".

"Zito says it best "She'll make you think, she'll make you cry. By the end of this record, she'll have you in the palm of her hand. For Katarina, this is only the beginning ..." After listening you will agree; Pejak stands at her own personal crossroads ready to step into the express lane".
