COMMENTS about second album "DOWN UP DOWN":



(Review by ROUGH TRADE)

A real gorgeous shock, 'Down Up Down' flourishes with lush production, a musicality that sounds like it was drenched in the stream of legend and above all with Kinzli's soaring voice. While she clearly possess an instrument that could effortlessly scale any genre, here she manages to hone it into a crystal-sharp diamond. In fact the album seems like a box of jewellery, with each song glittering in surprises - a marching drum beat refrain, a stirring string session, an effortless operatic vocal which swoops down to a folky whisper.
There are so many great ideas here gleaned from all the best aspects of modern music - splashes of avant garde techniques, dashes of folk music that this is one of those records you just can't believe isn't on a major and soundtracking people's lives.



(Review by Charlie Brown from The Music Critic)

Kinzli is a singer songwriter who along with her mates, The kiloWatts has delivered a great collection of songs. Vocally her voice is interesting, a bit folk, a bit operatic and a big part pop. Lyrically, she's eclectic, the album kicks of with Don't Shoot, a reflectively haunting start while The Land of Il (3 Part Dance) is about brainwashing by Kim Jung Il. Immediately, you get the fact that we're listening to a writer with integrity who has lived a life and is determined to express her art. At the very heart of this work is sterling songwriting delivered with a delicious pop feel.
Recorded mostly in her bedroom, there is an intimate and at times live feel to Down Up Down and the album grabs you from start to finish. Each song is like a short story and we're never sure what's going to happen until the end. The songs meander from the challenging We Walk For Peace to the dreamily romantic in Stargazing.
It's an album full of surprises and clever musical touches. It's also refreshingly honest. Kinzli should be a star. She's talented enough, has a great voice and with this album, deserves any recognition she receives. In terms of talent, she certainly stands out from the current female singer songwriters doing the rounds and must wonder what she has to do have a major breakthrough. She doesn't strike me as someone who would get a huge beehive, tattoos and a crack habit in order to become famous.
