“Sampou’s passionate vocals are simply stunning, now ballsy and rough-edged, then purry and seductive, while the only problem with her original songs is trying to decide which is the least sensational. I strongly suggest you check her out.” 3rd COAST MUSIC, Texas
“Sampou never wavers from a steady tone of genuineness…sharply observant songs.” DOWNBEAT
“Sampou has written all the songs of “Lonesomeville” with Raymond Carver’s hard-edged minimalism and Emily Dickinson’s startling poetic images.” Chris Bergeron/DAILY NEWS STAFF
