MEDIA REVIEWS (INTERNATIONAL)

“ Michelle captured everyone’s attention as soon as she stepped onto the stage"’ – Manila Bulletin, Jan 2020
“Never before in Wesel has a vociferous young woman from Singapore rocked, even with all the live-water washed entertainer, songwriter and pianist, named Michelle SgP” – Rheinische Post, July 2018
“..she also played keyboard like Roger Fisher did in the Miami Sound Machine, and she also sang in a voice that sounded different in each piece - Grace Jones, Etta James, Janis Joplin, Annie Lennox or Al Jarreau. She juggled with her vocal chords, sang, roared, gargled and growled.” - Süderländer Volksfreund, May 2019
“ a kind of musical cosmopolitan, input in things jazz, pop and soul.. taking proximity to artists like Joan Armatrading, Roberta Flack, Diana Krall or Jeri Brown clearly.” – NRZ , Jan 2019
“..her voice bears traces of Sarah Vaughn and Shirley Bassey” – Today, 2016
"Michelle’s brand of jazz is much more stripped down, refined and palatable than the jazz classics by Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong…Unafraid to show vulnerability in her skilful song-writing, Michelle sings with a heart-stirring pain that shines through." – ROMP Magazine by Joseph Murray, Dec 2012
