Album Notes

“The best way to describe her raw sound is dripping in soul, reminding me of a cross between the power of Nina Simone and the sly sexiness of Ms. Badu.” Gilah Elul, Brooklyn-based multimedia company “Quiet Color”

“She sounds like the illegitimate love-child of Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald . . . if such a thing were possible.” Adrian Chamberlain, Times Colonist.

“Soul Walk […] is such a resounding artistic success that it has the potential to launch Braden into the first rank of contemporary jazz vocalists. [...] Think of the best of Joni Mitchell (at her jazziest) and Herbie Hancock (at his most innovative) and you have a sense of the quality we’re talking about here.” Rick Gibbs, Islandjazz.com
