Reviews

“Williams speaks and sings from the heart of her broken childhood and gradual reconciliation with what matters — Koort, Moort, Boodja, Koorlangka: heart, family, land, children and legacy…many still struggle to unite those four elements but Williams and collaborator/accompanist Guy Ghouse brought it all home…and then some.” – David Cusworth, The West Australian

“Gina Williams is like one of those artists like Edith Piaf, she writes and sings in this old, old language and we can’t help but fall in love with the romance of it all.” – Archie Roach

“Songs in Noongar language transposed into English, and vice-versa (Moon River) show that Williams is a transcendent artist in any language.” – David Zampatti (From the Turnstiles)
