Jessica Parsons-Taylor: Press

"Jessica Parsons-Taylor performs her emotional musical portraits with a thoughtful lyrical touch that defies her delicate, distinctive, almost childlike voice. She sings with hushed intimacies held with a gentle hand to melodies that float on an often breezy, sometimes somber but always skilled piano-based delivery. Rich in jazz and pop tradition, her songs have a graceful simplicity of style. She chooses her words and notes sparingly and adorns them with only the most essential elements of musical decoration . The result: songs that resonate softly but with a purpose and clarity that both illuminate and celebrate her youthful take on life. Her voice is fresh and original, her songs exquisitely crafted, her performances fun and engaging and, most importantly, her future bright and limitless. A wonderful new talent."

"The album, [The Slower Side of Time], features songs whose subjects belie the tender age of their creator, songs at once complex and universal that pair a clear, emotive voice with poignant piano stylings. It's the perfect album to complement the sweet sadness of a Sunday afternoon."

"Here's a girl who's not afraid to be happy, although her songs aren't always...[She is] a bright spot on the local scene."

"Effortlessly brilliant...All she does bursts with passion and poise."
