“Jennifer Porter is sending a shockwave across the scene with her new release, ‘Sun Come And Shine’. Instantly captivating us with her exquisite vocal tone, Jennifer leaves no jewel unturned with this new gem. She radiates like a beacon with a stellar vocal performance, giving those at the top of the game a genuine run for their money.” —MusicCharts.uk (London)
“In a blend of soul, blues and jazz, Jennifer’s wonderful voice immediately captures you... A mix between the writing talent of Carole King and the soul of Norah Jones, with all her skills on “Sun Come and Shine” showcased as an unparalleled masterpiece... for the entire album you stay under the spell of this woman, Jennifer Porter, after which we take a deep bow to her.” —Rootsville (Netherlands)
“Jennifer Porter’s range of emotions is gigantic. Her journey through diverse genres to musical-geographic destinations is brilliant...her voice is beyond a doubt sublime. Like the songs, her singing is always soulful and full of feeling, sometimes filigree-fragile like fine Chinese porcelain. The tracks are a mirror of the excellent lyrics she herself wrote... Anyone who likes music from different genres, united under the roof of a Jennifer Porter level talent is at the right address with this artist.” —Rocktimes (Germany)
