Jul 3, 2023Kinda reminds me of Daniel Johnston in spirit, Joanna Newsom in voice, and a little of Fiona Apple, I think she's at her best when the spotlight is on her weirdness. At times, the topic of her songs is a little unoriginal. This isn't her fault exactly, she is writing honestly, but it was a little less interesting for me.
A must-listen for anyone into indie folk songwriter stuff. -
Aug 1, 2023This is an easy one to discard. Keeping things simple is not precisely the best for this project, and even if I appreciate Sternberg being true to herself and her own voice and motive, this glass has enough water to call it half empty. Hope she grows to find her better self, both, personally and musically.

Aug 1, 2023The magic of I’ve Got Me comes in the way that brutal sentiment comes dancing in on skittery melody and how coruscating lines conform so neatly to classic song structure. Joanna Sternberg makes tales of betrayal and non-conformity sound like tunes from 1930s black and white musicals, and that’s an accomplishment.

UncutJul 17, 2023A hugely enjoyable, idiosyncratic ride. [Sep 2023, p.37]

Jul 3, 2023Once again, Sternberg’s irrepressible, impossibly human spirit shines through the darkness. This is the ultimate power of I’ve Got Me: the majority of songs here focus on negative experiences, but the feeling coming out the other end of listening to it is one of uplift and renewed resolve to make something of one’s life. It’s what makes the album sound both modern and timeless.
