USA: Kosi-Stranger in Every Town(2018)
“I listened to [your album, I Know Who I Am], and man, your voice is incredible. Not only do you have a fabulous and unique timbre, your performances are full of passion and musicality. This album feels very personal and heartfelt. It was great to get to peek into your musical soul for a bit.” — Christopher Tin, Grammy winning composer
----------
“Your voice is one in that the listener doesn’t know where you are going to go with it, has an element of surprise and it’s beautiful! A gift to be able to artfully use the voice in a manner that makes sometimes a slower or pacing song, full of dynamic and surprise…really great job, Kosi!” — Matthew Mayer, Award winning pianist
----------
“Your album impresses me as being extremely personal and heartfelt. It’s refreshingly rich and even raw in feeling, with the beautiful rough edges still showing. It’s a beautiful expression and labor of love from you.” — Max Highstein, award winning composer
----------
“Every song on the CD, I Know Who I Am, by Kosi is VERY different from the other songs on the CD, and yet, there is a central theme…pain, guilt, loss, hope, and searching…all tied together by a voice just OOZING with raw, but controlled, emotion.”
— Kelly Triplett, Award winning singer-songwriter
----------
“The more I plunged into the record, the more amazed I was. The album not only shines thanks to your formidable vocal beauty, but the conception, the message, the integrity of this masterpiece is breathtaking.” — Tri Nguyen, Award winning multi-instrumentalist
----------
“As a songwriter, Kosi tells wonderfully crafted stories so deep and intimate it may appear that she’s shared too much, until you realize that a part of you is in there with her. As a performer, Kosi intertwines folk and jazz sensibilities with her unique vocal instrument. A compelling crowd pleaser from the moment she steps on stage.” — John Hayes, Pittsburgh Songwriters Circle
----------
"In all, it’s a rich, breathing, urgent album and Kosi inflects every measure with unflinching integrity. “Diva” is a hopelessly devalued word these days; we need a new one for singers like this, who stand their ground and deliver the goddamn goods." — Robert Rodi, NewCity Music
