Kaitlin McGaw: Press

"McGaw is strong, sassy and fun... In the rock music vein more than the divas of today, her lithe, moody voice stands out, playing nicely off of the music backing her. The Simple Things is great album with a lot of promise."

“Wow is about all I can say. I instantly fell in love with the voice and the vibe. The perfect chilled out tunes that I need sometimes.”

“Gallant and Ruiz seem to have found a musical chemistry that creates a perfect base for the glorious alto voice of Kaitlin McGaw . . . I can't recommend this disc highly enough . . . Simple Things is a gorgeous and deep debut . . . Rating: 5 Stars (Out of 5)”

“Take bass, keyboards and female vocals and weave them into a great tapestry of sounds that seem to flit between jazz, soul and moody modern progressive rock (with some pop in there) and you have the sound of The Simple Things... Whatever you want to call it, this music is vital and beautiful. It’s haunting and enchanting.”

"Delighted to have been able to lay The Moon is Torn. I was hooked from the start by the amazing bass sound, then when Kaitlin's vocals came in, I was entranced. Add to all that intelligent lyrics in well structured songs and we have a winner."

Describing the music as "atmoshperic, bittersweet, dreamy" Luna Kafe of webzine The Global Music Inn posted "lovely songs and beautiful vocals. I really liked it."

Described as "laid-back, lush, mellow," Mossip states "The Simple Things are sophistication, they are imagery, they are that soothing voice that calms you when you're all keyed up. If you have a love for jazz, let Kaitlin, Raymond and Michael into your homes and let the music move you as it most definitely will."

"They are an awesome trio. Usually in situations like this, having no drummer leaves some groups sounding hollow. However, Simple Things have been able to keep it sounding strong, fresh and well-delivered.

They've been highly enjoyed by me and readers of Social Circle. They've been wonderful through their music and their interview and I especially enjoy Kaitlin's 'other job' with the Alphabet Rockers =)

I'm looking forward to hearing more out of the group!"

Very romantic song "Flying Horses." We like very much your music and we hope that many listeners of PizzaCast and many readers of our blog "CasaPizza" like your music!

Haunting and ambient. Great for late night listening.

Good work

Great songs and the listeners really loved them.

Fiery

I was hooked from the start

Wonderful female vocals
