Press Quotes
"I Believe In You carries a simplistic beauty” (US magazine Nerds and Beyond)
"When it comes to jazz-pop, incredible female singers are hard to find. Joelle Charan is certainly one of them. There's a lesson to be learned from a lot of, mostly pop, musicians, who have tried their shot at playing jazz records, and it's a simple one: not everyone can do it! Except maybe for Lady Gaga." (US magazine Indie Heroes)
