Simply beautiful
author: Matt Creer
Mali's record, from start to finish is a collection of beautiful, heartfelt and exquisitely written songs.
I've been lucky enough to be able to perform with Mali and Cuan and experience their music first hand. Mali's pure and effortless voice draws you into her lyrics and takes you away from the worries of the world while Cuan's guitar playing adds unique colour and style.
Buy this album. You need it in your life.

We waited for this album with great anticipation and were not disappointed! Not only is it beautiful music, but the lyrics also say so much. I love the music and find myself again and again looking for the album. Cuan & Mali, you've created something outstanding! We love it! J&A

Indescribable
author: David Vermeulen
I’ve looked in a thesaurus and thought long and hard about it, but the only word that can describe this album more than that old cliché: Beautiful.
I heard some of these songs even before all the verses were completed. I listened to them played in their live, raw state with just Mali and her guitar and vocals. I even heard each song unfold bit by bit in the studio. One thing’s for sure - Mali, and let us not forget Cuan, did an astounding job. I was amazed at how each song seemed to become unique, a massive array of instruments arranged masterfully behind the sweet sounding guitar and effortless vocals.
Mali has always been an absolute pleasure to listen to, now even more so! A hard year’s work paid off, this is an album for Mali to be proud of. An album I’m proud to own. The most chilled and lovely album I’ve ever heard.
You now find me wishing the rating of this review allowed more than 5 stars, for it surely deserves 10!
If you haven’t yet, order your copy. It does not disappoint. Congratulations to all involved in making this gem.

The album I've been waiting for
author: Anna Lees
Listening to the sweet voice of Mali Korsten always manages to bring tears to my eyes. Having listened to the demo cd's created by Mali and Cuan, I thought I knew what the album would be like, but it far extends what I previously thought. With it's mix of folk, rock and country, Atlases & Astronauts offers a fantastic blend of soft music, with lyrics that are extraordinary. If you listen to track one, the prospect of hearing another song is exciting. I listen to Atlases & Astronauts every day in the car, on my way to work, and I hate having to get out the car! Mali is a wonderful friend, and is a extremely talented. If I had to choose one album that touched my heart the most, it would be this one. Mali, I'm so proud to call myself your friend. Love you x
