“An Americana-tinged singer-songwriter with a Bonnie Raitt-style twang, a winning way with a yearning lyric. Housley is her own woman…she’s as convincing as they come.” Q
“Absolutely MONUMENTAL” Robert Elms, BBC Radio London (The Waiting Game from Lauren’s first album was made Robert’s Track of the year in 2016)

Both on record and on stage, she’s the real deal.” Paul Sexton, music journalist and broadcaster (BBC Radio 2, Sunday Times, Billboard Magazine)
