Kristen Cothron and The Darkside is an Alternative Rock, Jazzy Pop band from Nashville, TN. "Cothron writes smart pensive tunes that have a slight jazzy feel...and her voice is remarkable on each and every track. This young lady is sultry, provocative. and uniquely cool in so many ways." - BabySue "Tougher than Fiona Apple, edgier than Norah Jones, Cothron combines cabaret and indie rock as well as anyone since Elvis Costello." - The Memphis Playbook "With an amber, sultry tone and an expanded vocal range that she uses with dynamic subtlety, Cothron applies late-night jazz chops to contemporary adult pop. She's the rare young talent who cares more about expressing a mood and a story than simply showing off her voice. While her relaxed, come-hither purr pulls listeners in, it's the depth of the songs and how well she puts them across that brings people back time and again." - The Nashville Scene "...Cothron plays the role of the steely and unattainable temptress, and artfully so with a seductive-almost-racy style that maintains an air of class and sophistication...Cothron isn't the first contemporary to take on jazz pop, but hers is genuine, not meant to be kitschy and probably the most authentic of its kind I've heard..." - Boro Pulse "Effortlessly mixing genres in such a masterful and subtle way is just one of the many reasons Kristen Cothron is a true talent in a sea of artists striving to be heard.Overlooking this album would be a crime, so do yourself a favor and give it a listen today." - Indie Music Reviewer "...blending Fiona Apple minor key blues-jazz-isms with trilling Gwen Stefani flourishes at the higher register of her range. Her command of her instrument (voice) is impressive as the notes roll across our eardrums effortlessly. She's a guitarist too, not merely model-caliber window dressing propped up by true musicians." - Classic Rock Music Blog "Cothron's songs sound both modern and relevant to her genre, as they're pushing it forward, while concurrently coming across as though Billie Holiday would have been at home singing them within her domain of smoky jazz clubs that populated American cities of the 1930's, 40's, and 50's." - WordKraft
