ALBUM PRESS REVIEW
THE CITY PAPER; NASHVILLE
Karyn Black -BLINDING    (Fennessey Records)
"Black never resorts to tricks or gimmicks to get attention, and shows that she’s both a capable musical and lyrical interpreter, providing intriguing arrangements. Recorded both locally and abroad, and presenting an adept mix of electronic backing and acoustic sweetening, 'Blinding' demonstrates that sensitivity and understatement can be as effective as bombast and flourish.
Ron Wynn, Music Editor, The CITY PAPER, Nashville, Tn.

TIME OUT (LONDON)
Black's clever new album, BLINDING, is a unique combination of folk/pop roots surrounded by laid-back vibey electronic grooves. Elegantly and sensitively performed who takes you on a unique and satisfying escape.
