Album Reviews
...a sexy, sophisticated record... the centerpiece is the title track, Kropf's femme fatale vocals beautifully accented by a spare middle-of-the-night backing track that longs to be in a movie soundtrack." - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
"The long-awaited second album from the fresh-voiced Kropf, What Else is Love is a multi-faceted aural digest of styles ranging from jazz to folk, to radio friendly pop. Poignant lyrics and enduring melodies carry each song, showcasing Kropf's maturity as a songsmith...After five years, Kropf hits her mark. Definitely worth the wait." - MugZine
"Heather Kropf's second independent, self-produced CD plays like the work of a seasoned pro, and she's beginning to realize that people get it. "What Else is Love" crackles with contemporary folk, pop and jazz elements -- bright ideas framed in solid pop sensibilities performed by Kropf on a 1920s Steinway surrounded by electric instruments." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Listening to Heather's music is like turning off the lamp and opening the curtains on a clear day. Let it shine, let it shine, let is shine." - Gardyloo Fanzine
"“Pittsburgh has been truly blessed with a very refreshingly gifted singer/songwriter and keyboard artist." - Pittsburgh Magazine

An amazing gift!
author: JillI heard Heather for the first time last year and instantly fell in love with her music and lyrics. Filled with thought provoking words and creative chord progressions, you can feel her passion as she plays the piano and sings. She leaves me wanting more...
Soulful and Sublime
author: KeithHeather paints an incredibly colorful canvas, showing the many different shades of love through a nice variety of musical styles. The highlight is the title track, a smooth and sensual groove that invokes the image of sitting in a smokey nightclub with people all dressed for the evening. In addition to her adventures on the blue side, there are several tracks that showcase Heather's trademark gritty-folksy sound. "...Love" has a rich,dense sound at points, with overdubbed vocal lines apparent, providing a nice contrast to her previous album "Sky" which had a more naked and bare sound to it. Buy this album so you can say "I knew her when. . ."
