"She mixes poppy electro-beats and melodies with her unique voice and psychedelic lyrics. Alyson has the rare ability to change styles from song to song while maintaining a high quality sound."
"Live Alyson shows a different side. Here her personality shines brightly from the stage and energy radiates from her. When I recently saw her at Shea Stadium in Brooklyn....she covered Coolio’s 'Gangsta’s Paradise' on a xylophone and somehow even though it was hilarious watching a tiny, adorable, very white girl singing this song, on a xylophone of all things, she somehow managed to make the lyrics feel almost as if they were her own."
"Alyson Greenfield treads in the footsteps of female powerhouses like Tori Amos, Joni Mitchell, Ani DiFranco , Annie Lennox, and even Sinead O’Connor—a group diverse enough to reflect Greenfield’s versatility. Her recent album Tuscaloosa, named for a town she once called “home,” showcases Greenfield’s unharnessed creativity from piano driven alterna-rock with octave hopping vocal twists to 80s-style synth backed pieces and even occasional sidesteps to a verse or two of poetic spoken word. Greenfield’s earthy, liberal lyrics hint at her literary and academic background and penchant for telling a story."
"eloquent examples of lyrical buoyancy and sensibility; minimalist serenity, serio-comic sensationalism, luminous production, spiky observation, roots rhythms; fresh melodies of substance, which are occupied by a grounded, rounded and articulate voice; take all of this into account and you will almost certainly get an idea of what this album conveys... a genuine and thoroughly engrossing piece of artistry that smacks of good things to come."
"When it comes to describing levels of talent, there are a few different descriptors that are commonly used: 'Talented'; 'Multi-talented'; and a third category, which Alyson Greenfield falls into, called 'OK, now you're just showing off.'"
