How things have changed. This IS truly something special. Lovin the moody vocal work, coupled with the memorizing dreamscape backing track ( love the rolling bass line ) to completes this brilliant musical journey. Something special going on here for sure. Love it! - Ban-Joe from UK

Well... I must say that as I'm exploring all of the talent here at R&R I'm finding a lot of great artist! Here, I agree with Susan, Ella has "genius"!

I love your style and your music. Plus, it's always nice to see artists take control of their own vision, and I can see that you are doing so with nothing but good taste and aplomb. - Dion (Ramona The Band) from Los Angeles

[23 May 2009] Comment on MySpace:

O_O Wow...
I like your voice.
Sometimes it reminds me about Nina Hagen (when listening Cyberlover)
but it also reminds about Melora Creager's. (Rasputina's lead cellist)
Sounds very good and interesting...I think it's hallucinageous.
Thank you Ella! - Ana Calavera from Tamaulipas, Mexico

... I got to hear a little of how things have changed for me here in this recreation center in Iraq as I wait for a flight back home. The connection was too poor to listen to more. I do quite like it and actually think I'll pick up the CD when I get home. My wife tells me I have an iTunes gift card waiting there. Good luck with your music. You're quite talented. Respectfully, Jon, USA

[02 March 2009] Review "Bitter Tears" by Sarah Morayati @ Self as Fractal:

Ella Blame comes from a different place entirely. She's one of the most original musicians I've ever heard. Honestly, listening to her CD Baby clips will give you a better impression than I can explain in words, but I'll try: weird and wonderful, usually electronic music with depth. That's a terrible description, but seriously, go listen.

Her performance on "Bitter Tears" (from her 2008 album of the same name) sounds like Sarah Brightman on two different kinds of acid, and when Sarah announced that her next record was going to piss off her record label, I hoped it'd sound a lot more like this. You've got drama already from the title and strings, and then those vocals come in, processed into the uncanny valley, operatic and brassy and commanding. The music has plenty of twists, of course, but this song's all about the singing.

For those of you who prefer things a bit more accessible at first, "Last Emotion" (not on either album, I checked) is more of a traditional dance song, although not without its quirks - the various vocals, whispered and otherwise, are like Enigma stripped of everything annoying.

These don't even begin to sum her music up, though, so again, just go to CD Baby and listen. I sound like a shill and I guess, in this case, I am. This is worth it though.

[March 2009] Review "Bitter Tears" by Shaomi:

Some say that it's possible for anyone to release one good album, now Ella Blame proves that she's more that an easily forgotten one-time newcomer and that she deserves to be considered a true artist in her own fashion. And i mean that because her fashion is indeed her own: that 2nd record deepens that very personnal, truly unique style that she created with the first CD. 4 years later, Ella has gained some maturity and "Bitter Tears" is even better, if possible, than its predecessor. The only thing that saddens me is that Ella is still a self-produced, underground artist, when she's deserve to be a major star. Don't hesitate one second and get "Bitter Tears", it is the work of an achieved artist with her own, very personnal universe. Let's hope there'll be many other Ella Blame records in the future. This woman deserves your attention!
