- “Folksinger Janis Ian gave the
appearance that tossing off world class renditions of world-class
songs was no sweat…Corley Roberts showed off
a pretty voice and an easy way with balladry…which had the same
kind of intelligent intensity that characterized Ian’s set.”

Greg Haymes, Times Union, 1997
- “Listen…to the music with
your heart. Hear the melody and let it touch you. Listen…to
the lyrics with your mind. Hear the words and let them be understood.
This is the message I receive when I listen…to the song “Be
Still”, lyrics and music written by local singer-songwriter
and fabu records recording artist, Corley Roberts. The song has a
story. The song has a home.”
…KidMusicMed program review, cover story
Shannon Savage, Spotlight on Country, 1999
- “Roberts is a songwriter with a
sharp, folk voice…her songs are both secular and Christian and
she drops country, rock and jazz touches…much like Joni Mitchell
and Sarah McLachlan.”
snap.com, 1999

comes out of you.”

beautiful vocals to add a great twist... strong, sultry styling..."
MP3.com, 1999
- "Roberts is a versatile, intelligent
woman, so it's somewhat surprising that her music is relaxed, hushed
and sensual... Roberts sings with an open, breathy voice that's at
once girlish and womanly, and the simple eloquence of her lyrics speaks
to the way adults try to reclaim the wonder of childhood to make sense
of life's complexity."
...CD "ME" review
Peter Hanson, Metroland Magazine, 1999
- "Fine writer and artist in her own
right... her jazz/pop/folk style works well... tasteful lyrics and
instrumentation... beautiful voice... really cool use of acoustic
guitar harmonics."
Brian Austin, Just Plain Folks Music Industry
Networking Organization, 1999
- "...Plenty of shimmering folk-pop
tunes laced with hints of jazz..."
...CD "ME" review
Greg Haymes, Times Union, 1999
- "Singer
songwriter Corley Roberts' debut album featured a soft but driving
blend of folk, pop and jazz, led by insistent guitar lines and shimmering
piano figures. Roberts sensual voice glided over the whole mix to
energize her heartfelt lyrics."
