What fans are saying about Olivia Eden & Ordinary Girl:

"This album is a crafted album by an artist who clearly writes from the heart with an obvious deep conviction in her beliefs. Her melodies are beautiful, almost hypnotic. This album is a collector's must!"

"The best album of the year! I give it five stars! Beautiful voice. If you like artists like Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos or Madonna...you will love this!!"

"the music is fantastic.. a breath of fresh air

"heard this girl on the TV show "The Alice" and was utterly blown away... love your work!"

 

"Ordinary Girl is destined to see Olivia Eden take her place as one of Australia's leading female singer songwriters."

"This debut album is warm and bubbly pop with an honest earthiness, signalling the arrival of a perceptive Australian songwriter."

"What emerges from her divergent collection of sounds is an arresting, irrepressibly hooky and refreshingly new pop voice equally at home alongside classic pop artists and alternative playlists."

"Olivia Eden is part of a return to women stepping out front again. They are firmly taking hold of the female perspective and even more stridently owning it by sharing their internal world."

"Eden is soft and sensitive but never a push over."

"Her music is original, spirited and soulful. Her lyrics honest and unpretentious."

"If her passion, talent and drive are any indication, we'll surely be hearing big things from this fresh young musician."

"Olivia is set to turn a few heads with her unique and catchy song-writing ability."

"With a little support this awesome young Australian talent will go far."

"This girl is amazing... just imagine Kasey Chambers mixed with the Bangles and throw all that out and imagine something better!"

"Pure pop heaven. A nice balance of guitars and vocals perfectly suited to the lyrics."

"Olivia Eden graciously sat at the piano and impressed the crowd. One cannot help but compare Olivia to Sarah McLachlan when you listen closely to her arrangements, vocal phrasing and feel, but with more than enough originality to set her apart."

"Olivia's music takes you on a journey of life, tears and triumphs."

From the Oztrax website (supporting Australian artists): "Although she was born in Hollywood, Olivia Eden was raised in the middle of the Australian bush with a piano and Michael Jackson albums. In a Bondi music store, she was asked to perform operatic vocals on an album – and this led to an invitation to record a solo CD of her own. Since then, she has been involved in solo and support gigs primarily around the Sydney area.
