Tamara Turner, CD Baby Malina's music has a natural, built-in way of pushing up against boundaries like the unseen buds of spring that, tender as they are, gently force their heads through rock and dirt to find the sunlight. What first stands out so immediately is the well-organized sonic space, the thoughtful textures (none of that just layering one instrument on top of another) and a breath-catching, consistently-surprising turn of harmonic color. When your ear is pulled in unpredictable directions with "Gently Hard"(a surprising key change, a clever modulation, secondary chords and a bridge that changes the entire context of the last few minutes), you find yourself unable to let go until the end of the disc, always wondering what's around the next corner. While her influences sneak in here and there, that of Carole King, Sheryl Crow and Alanis Morrissette, her hybrid of piano pop, folk pop and a touch of rock is distinct and notable.

Alan Want TerrificI'm not sure why this album wasn't on the shelves a long time agobut it was worth waiting for. One of the best cd's I've bought inyears. Wish I could find more bio info on you. I've introducedseveral friends to Gently Hard and they all want to know who thisMalina is behind the hauntingly melodic voice. Thanks for a terrificmusical experience.

Alan Want Hauntingly BeautifulOne of the most hauntingly beautiful collections of music I've heard in years. Malina's voice is mesmerizing with terrific clarity and range. The music is well written and arranged with the flow of a gently flowing river. This cd is a must-have for the serious listener.
