"sukie smith, better known as madam, has a rare ability to combine the smoky, nocturnal atmospherics conjured by pj harvey or portishead or the velvet underground with a pop sensibility...sets her head and shoulder above the singer-songwriter masses ,as individual a voice as cat power or label mate jawp'

THE INDEPENDENT. ONE TO WATCH (APRIL 2008)

'contender for the noir niche occupied by hope sandoval ( mazzy star) and chan marshall (cat power) - madam is a real find !'

THE GUARDIAN 4/5 ****

'a girl with a taste for the dark stuff'

NME

Q Magazine
‘compellingly gritty and haunting’

Mirror
‘beguiling seductive blend of triphop stealth soundtrack atmospherics and skittering pop...' 

'madam is a name which should be written in bright neon outside big venues in the swanky part of town' ***** 4.5 / 5

THE SUN

'champions of sounds soft and subdued. the terrific madam favours sultry, slightly spooked and lusciously late-night americana noir'

TIME OUT

'she should give kylie and alison goldfrapp a run for their money'

CAROLINE SULLIVAN THE GUARDIAN

'an astonishing album of cruel beauty and emotional honesty, an immense talent.' 5/5*****
