“A voice that’ll make you sit the f*ck down and listen. The clarity, the range – outta this world!” – Lucy Smith (Triple J)
“The blistering instrumentation of icons such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Leon Bridges shine through, while Kay’s vocals feature a mesmerizing timbre reminiscent of the likes of Bonnie Raitt or even Joss Stone.” – Rolling Stone AU
“Don’t you just love finding those voices that stop you in your tracks? That you fall in love with instantly, hanging on every single word they sing? It’s rare and difficult to describe exactly what draws you to them, but when it comes it’s like lightning in a bottle. Chloe Kay, of Chloe Kay & The Crusade, has one of those voices. Press play on their latest single “Broken Woman” and I know you’ll fall in love too.” – Sounds of OZ
