Reviews
* San Francisco Chronicle - Her sound is a cosmic cabaret, a delicious blend of acoustic styles delivered with syncopated verve by her quartet. (Andrew Gilbert)
* LA Weekly - Her songs and voice are delightful, as pure an instrument channeled through lovely evocations of love and love lost as you'll ever hear. There is an innocence and beauty all over Le Chemin that is sadly rare but wholly welcome. (Michael Simmons)
* Pasadena Weekly - Jessica Fichot melds childlike sweetness with grown-up savoir faire. (Bliss)
* Aspen Daily News (Time Out) - The authentic and endearing thing about Jessica Fichot's songs, no matter the language they're sung in, is the blend of heartache and innocence. (Andrew Travers)
* Detroit Metro Times - Her worldly tunes (are) delivered with a wholesome sweetness. (Megan O'Neil)
* Flavorpill - Her jazzy mezzo-soprano, indie-style accordion, and relaxed backing band light up a program ranging from heartbreaking torch songs to European supper-club standards. (Shana Nys Dambrot)
* Monterey County Weekly - Fichot has built a gorgeous globe-spanning repertoire. (Andrew Gilbert)
* Chico News & Review - By American standards, she's a throwing knife skill and lair full of tamed tigers away from being a real-life Bond Girl. (Ken Smith)
* Santa Barbara Newspress - a unique sound that blends vintage French chanteuse style music with modern singer-songwriter notions. (Jo Woodard)
* Seven Days Vermont - a melange of multicultural inspiration as rich and nuanced as her gorgeous expressive singing voice. Despite her panoramic world views, she distills her myriad influences into a singular voice, delivering a sound as deeply personal as it is worldly. (Margot Harrison)
* L.A. Jazz Scene - French jazz that is celebratory and full of verve.
* California Tour and Travel - like fine pastry: light, tantilizing and irresistable. (Chris J. Walker)
* Real Talk L.A. - a musical excursion that begins with the French chanson tradition and moves with ease into gypsy jazz, Chinese and Latin folk music and classic American song (...) A stunning debut. (Phat X. Chiem)
* from Tom Schnabel, host of "Cafe L.A." KCRW (April 2007) -
"I was completely knocked out by it (the album) It's a very fresh and energetic sound. There are not that many people making this kind of music - even in France."
* from KCRW (April 1st, 2007) - KCRW's host Tom Schnabel was so impressed by Jessica Fichot's debut CD that he immediately tracked her down and invited her to the studios of KCRW for a live performance and interview.
This young and multi-talented chanteuse turned in an enchanting performance - her radio debut - so (...) be prepared to be delighted by this star on the rise.
