"What a voice this young lady has! Clear as a bell with great diction and tone, she can belt with the best or go off into an obviously well-trained classical soprano. It is a very supple instrument and she sings all her songs with conviction and enthusiasm." - Edmonton Sun "Gall’s voice is absolutely divine. Sweet and nostalgic, she’s like a Disney princess from the Lower East Side." - Uptown Magazine "One of the most amazing voices I've ever heard." - Ignite 107
