I'd Rather Go Blind

"Soul singer Alex Hahn's new release The Wallflower works like a voodoo charm. Hahn and her band never hit a weak spot" – John Hardaker, Jazzscene.
 
"I hear hints of the histrionics of Joplin and the soul-deep stylings of Aretha, but, most of all, I hear a ripping, arsey, brassy, young singer." – Crikey.com
 
"She prowls and purrs, like a big cat, on heat. It's Etta, Eartha and Tina rolled into one sizzling girl thang. The Hahn signature is incendiary and indelible." – Lloyd Bradford Syke, Australian Stage
