"Once every generation... a singer-songwriter emerges with
the creative fire to set the music world ablaze.
Ann Vriend has the fire."
[Music biographer David Ritz]

"Ann Vriend sings with the heart-stopping intensity of Aretha Franklin,
plays piano with the ease of Norah Jones and
writes songs as powerful in their simplicity as those of
Paul Simon and Leonard Cohen"
[Elle Magazine]
 

"When it comes to women with pianos, there are endless comparrisons to make,
but Vriend stands out from the crowd"
[Drum Media]

"Vriend constructs pop songs that are well delivered and express a mature artistry
reminiscent of Tom Waits and Joni Mitchell, but only in their qualities.
Her style is her own."
[South Australian Independent Weekly]

 

"Edmonton's own piano pop laureate of emotional conflict, [Ann Vriend delivers]
a lean, literate black and blue Tapestry for a new generation"
[Ottawa Express]

 

"Ann Vriend is a witty and poetic lyricist who cuts to the core of emotion
with insightfulness clearly beyond her years.
Vriend also has a knack for charming melodies...but above her music and lyrics,
is her unique and yet almost nostalgic vocals that are haunting,
powerful, even resplendent at times"
[A N E Magazine]

“Vriend’s songwriting delivers pop appeal with a sense of timelessness that creates an immediate familiarity” 
[SooToday]
 

"There is something almost confronting in the candour of Ann Vriend's voice"
[Sydney Morning Herald]

 

“Ann Vriend is Western Canada’s answer to Ottawa’s Kathleen Edwards,
but with more soul, and more depth. A talented pianist, poet and songwriter,
Edmonton-based Vriend sings songs about love, leaving, and loneliness.
Her angelic voice soothes the listener,
and her delicate delivery begs them to come along on her...journey”
[City Gigs (Toronto)]

 

"Vriend’s voice is sweet and clear, but her lyrics smack of the same brutal honesty,
including scathing tales of picture-perfect but empty relationships
and finding love in our cold, hard concrete jungle"
[Edmonton Journal]

 

Edmonton vocalist turns soul on its head, belting out
delicate introspection in the form of fire"
[Now Magazine]
