“The four-track offering... hearkens back to earthy ’70s folk-pop, laced with melancholy musings on lost love and an intense sincerity that will win over the most hardened of sceptics. Tracks such as Skin and To Lost Love (a duet with fellow singer-songwriter Nicholas Chim) pull heart strings effortlessly, with Wong’s mellifluous vocals the proverbial icing on the cake.”
“Jaime Wong – a rising local artist that recorded the eponymous EP with Leonard Soosay of Snakeweed Studios – gives a polished account of lost love, as she takes the listener on a journey from the beginning to the destination; from the breakup to the wake up. Her soothing voice carefully navigates the nicely coordinated harmonies – from major to minor – in a raw vocal tenacity that is in no way representative of how new she might be to the local music circle.”
“... and it is this rawness that fills Wong’s debut effort. There is an intimacy here that connects with those who listen; the simplicity of a voice and a guitar often lost on landscapes that function on hustle and bustle. Jaime Wong is a welcome surprise.”
