  1. The Line of Best Fit

    Toujours reminisces to an age of simple love songs, and Sabina encapsulates a more elegant, Breton-wearing, subtle popstar in the milieu of Serge Gainsbourg’s Paris.
  2. Boston Globe

    The songs are sparer, she’s picked up a scratchy electric guitar, and there’s air around her low, enigmatic voice--like Nico, waking up on the right side of the bed.

    Sciubba turns in surreal, lo-fi rock, delivered with the drop-dead charisma of Patti Smith and in the dark-brown tenor of Nico. [Apr 2014, p.97]

    Some of Sabina’s songs have a more enigmatic side, an undercurrent of restlessness and displacement.

    Toujours is an album of true originality, executed with humor, warmth, and spark, and captivating from beginning to end.
  9. New Musical Express (NME)

    The tunes--from the devilishly catchy title track to the clattering, anthemic ‘Viva L’Amour’ and the swoonsome, panoramic ‘Tabarly’, complete with romantic mariachi trumpets--are superb.

    A delightful indie pop record that’s by turns intense, playful and touching.
