Debut CD
Coming out of her Jazz training, L.A.Mitchell's Debut is a reckoning between pop song sensibilities and Jazz Idiom foundations. Debut blurs the lines between Jazz/soul & soft-pop. It is subtle, sentimental & honest.
Nick Bollinger, Radio New Zealand:
"There's no question that LA Mitchell's Debut introduces a very talented and creative musician. The grooves, the singing, the whole production are really impressive… We'll be hearing a lot more of LA Mitchell."
Marty Blake, Waikato Times:
"Mitchell's album is beautifully presented and extremely well mastered… I found myself blissfully daydreaming." – ****1/2 / 5
"Here's a nice surprise… Debut never tries to be anything more than it is: a nice batch of songs from a fresh young talent."
Marty Duda, Real Groove:
"It's difficult to listen to LA Mitchell and not compare her to Hollie Smith. Both are New Zealanders blessed with a beautiful voice and a love of R&B and jazz."
Vicki Anderson, The Christchurch Press:
"Her unique voice insinuates itself into your heart."
Groove Guide:
"She has perfect diction and near-perfect pitch. Her touch is light and deft. Her original songs complement her voice, the band and her piano."
L.A.Mitchell’s Debut was released in 2006.
