AUDIOFEMME
“Over warbly synth, with crystal-clear delivery, Mountainess expresses relatable nuggets of wisdom...What’s clear across all three singles is Goldstein’s gift with words.”
MOTIF RI:
“Reminiscent of Broadway and Sara Bareilles, Mountainess is a force of theatrical whimsy and undeniable confidence set into a high-velocity locomotive sound wave.”
THE ALL SCENE EYE:
“Attention” opens the show with just her voice and piano in the spotlight as she declines to be a damsel in distress or a silent muse–in the musical of her life, she’ll act and overact as she pleases, men in the peanut gallery be damned. It’s vulnerable, witty, sweeping, and cinematic all at the same time.”
“Mountainess’s music never ceases to inspire. Her lyrics cut through so clearly and are Goldilockedly complemented by the warm melancholic buzz of that beautiful red synth.”
“Mountainess opened the night, with the melodic sound of Emily Goldstein. Goldstein’s voice and sound is very reminiscent of The Cranberries’ Dolores O’Riordan. Her performance was an enchanting and beautiful experience.”
