Reviews & Quotes
“The damnedest thing I heard all week was this… the a capella vocal virtuosity of Kate Dimbleby with her stunning album Songbirds… this is an artist at the top of her game.”
Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music
Artist of the Week: “Strong, life-affirming colours, a poetic song cycle, a singer-songwriter who refuses to be boxed in, a free spirit”
Clive Davis, Sunday Times
“***** Riveting. Kate Dimbleby finds a voice of her own. Crystalline and Credible”
Tim De Lisle, Mail on Sunday
“Subtle, fresh and at times gently startling. Kate was clearly concentrating on both mood and rhythm as she built up the often complex layers of backing, that include sudden bursts of close harmony singing. But such skills never get in the way of the songs, which are often soulful, personal, and range from the thoughtful and gently melancholic Limbo to the gospel-influenced At Our Best or the gently charming Walk Away”
Robin Denselow, The Guardian
“There’s a cupful of The Roches in some of its quirkiness, a shot of The McGarrigles in some of the more tender moments, together with a teaspoonful of Laurie Anderson in the slightly challenging Happy.. Kate Dimbleby has carved out a niche for herself in the genre of layered vocal pyrotechnics…SONGBIRDS has every likelihood of taking you by surprise as it did I”
Allan Wilkinson, Northern Sky Magazine
“Songbirds is that vocal-only album that suggests a rare and peerless talent…. striking, majestic voice that is, if anything, at its peak here. Never has she sounded more graceful and entrancing as she does on Songbirds…. It is testament to Kate Dimbleby that she is able, so far along in her career, to sound new and reborn… Songbirds is a wonderful collection everyone should have – 9.4/10.” Sam Liddicott, Music Musings and Such
“Dimbleby is clearly a talent to watch, blessed not only with a great voice but a real gift as a songwriter in her own right.”
The Sunday Telegraph
“With a voice of pure velvet, she has a magnetic stage presence…and captivates her audience.”
Glasgow Herald
“A shimmering vocal versatility… she has the musical talent and jewel-eyed confidence to guarantee an audience a good time”
Evening Standard
“Kate has an intensity of feeling combined with a freedom of spirit that brings to mind legendary singers like Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, with a modern feel.”
Marion Montgomery

“She has a wonderful rich, warm, dark voice with power enough in it to give Freddie Mercury a run for his money and pathos enough to sing Elvis Costello’s disturbing and difficult ‘I Want You’.”
Financial Times
“It’s that extraordinary voice – treacly and sleepy at rest, filling the room with feeling when she turns it on.”
The Daily Telegraph
“I think I’m in love… It was said about Fred and Ginger, “She gave him sex and he gave her class.” Well, Kate Dimbleby has both already and it is a killer combination.”
The Scotsman
“One of the must-see shows this Summer”
The Sunday Times
“In a voice that combines the sob/ache of Judy Garland and the verve of Carly Simon, Ms. Dimbleby sings with simplicity and honesty, drawing us into each song.”
Stage Buddy, New York
“Exhilarating new entertainment, a cocktail of blues, jazz, country, sing-songwriter pop and the sort of earthy, post-feminist humour that makes the Desperate Housewives look like members of the Salvation Army.”
The Times
“Catch her while you can!”
The Londonist
“Fab night with the amazing Kate dimbleby. We laughed, we cried, we sang along!”
Living Spit Theatre Company
“Lovely evening @CrazyCoqs – @katedimbleby has such a generous spirit and beautiful talent. Such a privilege!”
Lucy Shaufer, opera singer
“Simply blissful evening listening to @katedimbleby and @NaadiaSheriff bringing Dory Previn’s loves and songs to life. *sigh*. Thanks girls.”
Churchill Music
“The last w/end of Brighton Fringe. My highlight of all the events I saw? That’s easy, @katedimbleby Dory Previn Story. Terrific performance”
@WharfRat51
“We love that!”
Jo Goode, BBC Radio London
