“With a unique voice that has been likened to “Blondie’s Debbie Harry meets Irish Songstress Gemma Hayes”, the singer’s wide vocal range and hooky melodies along with her uncompromising stage presence have made her stand out from the musical crowd.” The Irish Daily Mirror
“A patient track swamped in reverb, Elly D latest solo single ‘Say’ is a far-reaching slice of alternative-pop that’s big on atmosphere. Taken from Elly D’s recent debut E.P Rise, ‘Say’ is a promising and ultimately ambitious track from the artist that could point to greater things in the future.” The Last Mixed Tape
“..we’re listening to a contemporary piece of music without doubt. Doyle’s vocals are sharp and the production is solid, it’s far more transcendent and reaches the heights required to give an energetic impetus to the track.” Remy Music and Film Blog
“From the offset the EP offers compelling listen, instantly comparable to Morcheeba, with Elly’s haunting voice not too far off Skye Edwards.” Ceol Caint
“She’s gritty, she’s got substance, a distinctive powerful emotional voice and all the freshness and attitude of what I would describe as a punk folkster…” BLOG DE LOS MUERTOS
