Reviews of Fell The Hill:

"This was a pretty relaxing album. I would describe it as freeform, accoustic folk chill. This album certainly isn't for everyone, but if you want something to fall asleep to, or chill with, this may be the album for you."

"Une belle voix masculine envoutante qui charme.
L'accompagnement sonore est délicatement posé et interprété.
Une détente appropriée à déguster pour l'après dejeuner."

"Fermons les yeux, ne pensons plus à rien et profitons de la beauté de ces musiques.
Quelques notes de piano, un zeste de percussion, une belle voix douce, quelques effets, un zeste d'originalité : voilà la recette d'un album relaxant et très beau.
De charmantes mélodies, beaucoup de qualité et d'originalité. Cet album est, une nouvelle fois, preuve du talent d'Alex Bailey."

"Toujours égal à toi-même ! Sons mélodieux, voix très douce. Un très bon album qui nous réconcilie avec le monde actuel. A écouter pour se reposer l'âme et le coeur.
Merci et bonne continuation."
