Album Notes

***Praise for "The Early Hours"***

"As evidenced by the poignant 'Empty' from her latest CD, The Early Hours, her writing is literate, passionate, and wry."
              ~ Time Out New York (October 6, 2005)

"After listening to her six song E.P. The Early Hours I was hard pressed to come up with a contemporary pop artist she resembles, let alone one who I would want to compare her too... Her songs have an emotional edge that breaks through the usual wall of cool that surrounds so many female jazz vocalists... Rebecca Pronsky doesn't need to dazzle her audience with technique, and is a mature enough performer to have the confidence in her voice to let it be part of the material, rather than the centre of attention.... Rebecca Pronsky is a new and exciting vocalist who bears watching. She might just turn out to be the next…well, Rebecca Pronsky.
              ~ Blogcritics.org (October 18, 2005)

On "The Early Hours," New York-native Rebecca Pronsky offers six perfect songs that sound as natural and unforced as a spring breeze in late April... Rebecca's voice is both dark and hopeful, and she has surrounded herself with a first-rate band to help drive them home... There isn't a complicated thing on this entire record, and that is testament to how well the songs are written."
              ~ Portsmouth Herald (03/09/05)

""Pronsky demonstrates good control of stylistic nuances, and tasteful use of embellishments. Harmonies are also strong throughout... The Early Hours is a collection of songs sung by a true vocal talent..."
              ~ Northeast Performer (January 2006)

"This is truly a release worth getting your hands on... Powerful vocals, powerful melodies all very nicely sewn together with more than able musicians, helps create a sort of timeless sound.... this recording is so accessible, so relevant and so entertaining."
              ~ Rebelation Zine (October 2005)

Rebecca's sweet blend of styles is something new and yet something familiar. Rebecca writes charming acoustic-pop tunes and performs them with both elegance and honesty. Her dark and clever lyrics are carried by her jazz-trained voice over the deep grooves produced by her extraordinarily talented band. She boldly blurs genre lines while staying true to a solid and accessible songwriting style all her own.
