    This album is what falling in love sounds like. Last Forest and Records of Your Tenderness are two favorite tracks, but every song is great-- not a skip in the bunch.

    Heavy in sensibility, TORRES doesn't know how to give a creative twist to a music that wants to be big and intimate. Sometimes is boring and some others it's kind of interesting.

    An early triumph of 2020. Silver Tongue is a braid of complex layers that rewards repeated listens.

    Torres delivers a personal and tender new album with her unique way to define love. Silver Tongue it might feel esoteric, and it is definitely not an album of a single listening, but it worth give it a try.

    A rewarding collection of expertly crafted, darkly emotive electro-folk rockers. [Feb 2020, p.85]

    Its nine songs, all evocative and transporting, strive toward a new vocabulary for connection, confidence, and queer love.

    Like Torres' previous album, Silver Tongue takes some time to unfold, but it's well worth it; by fluently expressing the resilience it takes to bounce back from hard times, she comes into her own.
