Review: While Leslie Nuss is an artist unfamiliar to us, we are quite familiar with her producer, the amazing Ainjel Emme, who was previously a part of the bands Goddess Freak Ensemble and Tits and Giggles, as well as a dynamic DIY solo performer before creating the Block of Joy, a multimedia house providing content creation and artistic development to upcoming talent in music and film. Emme has definitely outdone herself on this project, shining the spotlight on the amazing voice and talent of Nuss. All four songs are outstanding, and worthy of industry attention. Nuss is truly an artist on the cusp of greatness, and we can’t wait to hear what she delivers in parts 2 and 3 of this project.
Recommendation: By all means, jump on this train and Get this EP. You’ll be glad you did.

I found the EP to be haunting, stark, personal, passionate, beautiful...and ultimately a cathartic and redemptive listening experience.
The Subway is my favorite of the songs I am hearing for the first time here. [Her] beauty goes so deep..........
[Her] soul is amazingly vibrant throughout this EP.

A fragile, elegant voice that sometimes reminds you of Ani DeFranco, Alanis Morissette or Joni Mitchell.

"Lost" kills me. Love the opening notes. Had a dramatic Edge vibe to it. (I know it's piano, but still.) The production, and pacing of the ups and downs gave it a psychedelic, trippy vibe. Reminded me of Longpigs. But it's your vocals and backups that are the centerpiece. Cocteau Twins vibe. Serene. Really beautiful.
Got my physical CD today. Everything looks great! All the extra’s (e.g., autograph, credits, ceramic, sticker, tattoo, button, silk-screened bag, etc.) are classy and a really nice touch.
