The Globe and Mail on Rebekah: "Higgs’ sophomore release starts off with Little Voice, a title that not only characterizes the Nova Scotia native’s breathy warble, but also suits the toyshop aesthetic of the arrangements. Yet however close to cute she may skate, there’s a worldly-wise undercurrent to the songs that keeps the music from ever becoming cloying. It isn’t just the sadder-but-wiser cast of the lyrics in tunes like Drunk Love or Miserably Together; Higgs’ soundscapes are too dense with harmony and textural detail to ever come off as simple or sweet. Instead, her songs offer a swirling complexity that reflects her vision of love as a garden as apt to offer brambles as bouquets." J.D. Considine "Higgs crafts warm, willowy sounds over dreamy, confessional lyrics. But what sets Higgs apart is her predilection for mixing acoustic balladry with synthesized flourishescall it folktronica. The fiddle-fueled opener "Parables" features cascading vocal loops, while the buzzing "Apples" may owe something to Higgs' role in the trip-hop project Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees. Compelling lyrics experimental arrangements = another adventurous Canadian artist." - Nicholas Jennings, Inside Entertainment "One of the coolest new voices I've heard lately belongs to Halifax singer-songwriter Rebekah Higgs; aching and a little world weary on songs like Winding Watch and Love Is, she's a strong entry into the world of East Coast pop chanteuses." - Stephen Cooke, Halifax Chronicle Herald Listen to some of our latest songs:Upcoming Dates:
