Welcome to Poe's press.
“Daughter of the electronic revolution…(POE) heads a short list of female singer-songwriters with high-tech savy, defining the future of pop”
—Elle Magazine
“Nothing could possibly begrudge POE the massive props due this truly over0the-top PoMo masterpiece (Haunted)…It’s perfection. ‘Nuff said.”—Hits Magazine
When POE stands on stage…crooning in that smoky voice of hers, the world seems to stop…it’s as if there’s no one in the room but the two of you”—Vogue
“Women Who Rock Our World: …POE.” —Esquire Magazine
“(POE)…displays a wit and invention missing in…Alanis Morrisette and Tori Amos.”—The Daily News, NYC
“(Live) POE has the killer show. She shouts through an electronic megaphone and stage-dives into her fans’ arms. Afterward, she usually hangs out and makes friends with the audience. She’s a tall, awesome-looking rock star.”—Seventeen Magazine
“In her short, 35-minute set, opener POE managed to achieve something the headliners were unable to do with their two-hour show: find a fresh way to express anger and angst. Performing songs from her recent HAUNTED, she is by turns sexy and sad, vulnerable and strong. Cantering across the stage with a coltish grace, the Los Angeles singer showed she has the potential to become a headliner in her own right”—Daily Variety
“POE’s music genre-hops from moody hip-hop to hymn like piano to finger picking pop-folk”—The New York Times
“POE is a web diva.”—USA Today
“POE’s online site has become a model community for legions of fans…her online fans worldwide…have become truly involved in her career by doing everything from coordinating fan clubs to promoting concerts.”—Computer Life Online
“…POE’s come closer than any other artist has to really breaking through via the internet. She
didn’t have a lot of radio or video activity…Poe made a tremendous effort in her early tours doing after show performances in cyber cafés. And afterward, she would jump online to chat rooms and chat with fans…she started doing web casts with us (Atlantic), and 755 of the people coming to the show had actually communicated with her one-on-one, which is pretty phenomenal.”—Web Magazine
“The wait for POE’s follow up to her debut album has paid off, with rich, sophisticated songs of depth and emotional intensity.”—Los Angeles Times
“POE not only has fans, she has legions of “Angry-Psychos”. This internet based fan club has been consistently growing and is quite massive… Poe’s fans have tremendous love and respect for her and the feeling is certainly mutual.”—Free Time Magazine
“It is precisely POE’s strangeness that makes her compelling. Here’s a worldly sylph with a touchy bullshit detector who ably performs in so many genres that pigeon holing her isn’t even an option. The result is the strangest of oddities: a prodigy who’s worth the hype.”—City Paper (Baltimore, Maryland)
“…rejoice in (Haunted’s) originality and thank our lucky stars that POE had the confidence and imagination to make it.”.—LA Weekly
At a moment when MTV is laden with…a slew of female singer/songwriters—it makes you long for the song craft of POE. —Spin Magazine
“(POE’s) mid-range, breathy voice filled with taunt, tease and vulnerability…the spark is there, carried by a chcarismatic presence.”—The Hollywood Reporter
“Haunted is one of the most influential and innovative albums of this decade. Sounds huge, but listen and you will agree. This digitally produced album far outshines any studio album produced thus far.”—Indiana Statesman
POE is one of those artists that breaks away from that mold and does it beautifully…Her lyrics and sweet vocals will blow you away like a dirty Harry flick…If you don’t buy a CD in the next decade pick up HELLO.”—The Western Sun (Huntington Beach, Ca.)
POE, who scored a hit telling audiences she wanted to “blow them…away,” is finally back with her second album. And this time she’s ready to blow your mind with an ambitious disc dipped in Electric Kool-Aid. Psychedelic in the vein of the BEATLE’S “Magical Mystery Tour”, HAUNTED may be the best mind-fuck you’ll get all year—and you don’t have to buy it dinner first.”—Maxim Magazine
