| Bill Budd favored us with his angelic song Again... |
| Tampa Gazette, August 2004 |
| A diverse, theatrically constructed album, fueled by Budd's confident and pitch-perfect vocals. |

...strong, unwavering vocals and tight compositions. The combination of his deep, throaty singing voice and the extensive percussion and keyboards heard in the tracks make Budd come across as though Joan Armatrading and David Gray meshed into one slightly less gritty stage act. |

| Very rarely do we get to hear a voice as unblemished and as full of wide-eyed awe and innocence. The best is truly yet to come from this young star. |

| Whether Budd presents quiet grooves ("Empty Day"), haunted musings ("Your Shadow"), or joyous, danceable pop ("Trying Here"), he gets into the heads of many different characters and wraps the music in orchestral arrangements. He can also lift you so high with the music, you may not realize how pensive the lyrics are. You can either let go and dance or sit and wander into the psychology of it all. |

| Bill’s pure voice is perhaps the strongest instrument in his brand of electronic indie pop. |

| He uses his strong theatre voice with pop and electronic backdrops, similar to David Gray's style but Budd's voice is stronger, and has more soul and is less gritty than Gray's. |

| Bill Budd sounds like he was listening to a lot of David Gray while he created the set of melodic and moody electronic tracks on his debut... That's not necessarily a bad thing, as you can hear on "Trying Here" and "Again". |
