"Age of Solo, the fantastic 2008 debut disc from super-talented British chanteuse Lettie." - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S'POP WATCH' (December 2008)
"Each year it seems another quirky singer-songwriter emerges with the unique personality and talent necessary to make her mark. This year, for me, it could be Lettie" - The Weblog Of Leonards Lair (September 2008)
"But the highlight is London-based singer-songwriter Lettie (myspace.com/lettiemusic) whose electro-pop All You Want is as honey-sweet as you'll hear" - The Guardian (July 2007)
*****"Age Of Solo is a colourful, tight collection of songs full of sweet, naïve melodies, offset with glowing and lavish production...Letties songs are a masterclass in soulful, edgy avant-pop" - Wears The Trousers (October 2008)
Nestling within every album there is a chance to find a piece of music which stands head & shoulders above so much, on 'Age of Solo' you just might find in on 'Mission'. It's nothing less than a three and a half minutes of bliss, you can not add or take anything from it". - Mr Blue (2008) of Leauge Online
"Lettie should really be signed to a major label on the strength of this album and we also think that her album cover is second only to Parralox....'Age of Solo' is lovely and perfect late night listening to a glass of wine" - League Online
“Some of Lettie’s best songs can be found here, and it’s still a joy to be welcomed into her kooky, melancholy, weird old world” - (Everyman Review, Chicken Ramen, Jan 2009)
I have no idea why Lettie isnt huge by now. I have been into her for some time now. after hunting her down after one of her songs was featured on an online h&m campaign. I’ve been auditing my library of late and was recently challenged to name a few underrated/undiscovered bands to a fellow music buff. She was the first who occurred to me as a little obscure genius that I might humbly bring to light. - This is Jullian Music Blogspot
"It is in Lettie’s live performances which set her apart from her contemporaries, with a breathtaking performance which has the audience on the edge of their seats hoping that Lettie achieves a masterful multi loop routine, which she inevitably does, and allows the audience to breath a sigh of relief" - Paul of Leeds Music Promotions Blog (Keep Music Live Feb 09)
“Lettie is an almost-solo artist (she's joined occasionally by another keyboard player) who creates odd, acute, ballads and torch songs out of her minimal instrumentation and a handful of vocal effects. Setting up vocal loops via one microphone, then putting a lead vocal over the top on the other, adding keybpoard layers and slices of the guitar, the resulting songs are tougher things than you might imagine - excursions into pointed pop that steer clear of dreaded easy-listening singer-songwriter territory by virtue of their punch and attitude” - O2 Review November 2009 Nemesis To Go
