REVIEWS
"HIP HEARTACHE! With his Boy George-meets-Frank Sinatra delivery, singer Eddie Skuller creates a cohesive exploration of the profound side of pop despair." – PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
“Lilac Wine” provides more than sufficient evidence of Skuller’s ability to allow a song to emerge from within. He starts the song without accompaniment, drawing the listener into its possibilities by mesmerizing while introducing the song’s narrative with effective use of dynamics…and as always, the long drawn-out notes from which every possible nuance of feeling is wrung.
Skuller’s dark side captures the horrors of the imagery within Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit,” a song that Holiday owns but which Skuller effectively borrows". – JAZZREVIEW.COM
"With androgynous angel delivery and a Rat Pack pallbearer wardrobe, Skuller takes you on a pub crawl from paradise to the pit and back, spiking supper-club standbys with troubling undertones and stirring in some sturdy tear-in-your-beer originals. Visit his site to see where un-happy hour starts next". – VILLAGE VOICE
