Reviews of 'Daughter Of The King'
"... here is an album that
should be regarded as excellent, with or without big label subsidies.
If you're looking for a record to put on to lighten up your
day in a peaceful and graceful manner, then this is perfect.
Everything about it is well executed. The songwriting, recording,
playing, mixing, singing; it all smacks of anointing to me!
There is a humility that seems to flow from the music that makes
you respect Olwen even more. She has a lovely, slightly whispery
voice that glides through the album leaving the listener in
a calmed state. The album features bursts of Celtic music which
is quite delightful... The flow of the album is natural and
well thought through, it's never dull. You'll love this album
if Note For A Child or Iona ever affected you. All in all, I'd
highly recommend this release to you."

Rhythms
"...very much folk pop in
nature and to a degree comes across as an Anglasised Sixpence
None The Richer. Not only in vocal style and music delivery,
but also in that Olwen wears her Christian faith on her sleeve
through her lyrics, but does so without sounding preachey. In
addition to her great voice, Olwen has a great band..."

Reviews for Live at The Chapel Royal
"It is always a joy to hear
new, expressive and experimental
music and especially when lyrics, musicianship and vocals are
of a high standard. This can most definitely be said of Olwen
Ringrose, a new artist from Brighton. As unusual as it is to
be “wowed” by an unsigned artist these days, Olwen’s
voice is nothing less than perfect. Her album “Live at
the Chapel Royal” gives evidence to her vocal range and
shows that you do not have to release a debut album from the
studio. With the help of Mark Edwards and fantastic musicians
from Vineyard, Olwen has created a chilled out and eclectic
album comprising of various genres of life and love songs. If
she is this good live, then I can only envision great things
from this artist in the studio".
