Oct 7, 2016Still, it’s the relationship between Jones’ voice and her piano that impresses most. Not since her entrancing debut has she sounded this engaged.
-
MagnetOct 18, 2016It's a darker, more nuanced album, and Jones, now 37, sings with more depth and soul than she did in her youth. [No. 136, p.54]
-
UncutOct 6, 2016Jones displays a fluid keyboard touch and nuanced vocals, not unlike Diana Krall's recordings. [Nov 2016, p.31]

-
Q MagazineOct 19, 2016Warm, understated and authoritative, Day Breaks demands you lean in and listen. [Dec 2016, p.109]
