Praise for Sophie Madeleine.
“Armed with ukulele and a sweet voice, Ms. Madeleine has caused quite a stir on the
internet with her cute and infectious videos about beards and love on facebook. Her
live work is more serious and shows quite more than the silliness in those youtube
videos. The first song of her set was entitled "Stars" which hints at this songwriter's
heartaching ability to write vivid love songs."
- BROOKLYN VEGAN
"Ever since Hank posted a video of Sophie Madeleine singing about beards, I’ve been
smitten. After some searching, I found that her new album, “Love.Life.Ukulele” is
available to download for five bucks. I forked over the money and gave it a few spins.
I’m in love.
Madeleine has a fireplace warmth to her voice that hugs perfectly against
simple, yet smart lyrics. The melodies are stripped down, straightforward, without being
boring…a tough task. Simply put, this album isn’t “Kid A” but does good music always
have to test the limitations of sound? No, I would hope not. My favorite track on the
album is “Wave Goodbye” a waltzy song that is just pure beauty all around. This is an
emotional album that highlights Madeleine as an extraordinary talent with a bright
future to come. "

"I think the best way to describe her voice is toddlers popping bubbles in the air.
Maybe kittens. Maybe bunnies. Maybe all of the above."
- GEEKTASTIC.ORG
"...gentle yet soulful vocals, endearing lyrics backed with soulful 60s harmonies. She
has a very easy stage presence, which makes you feel as if you are sat in her front
room listening to her play songs for her own pleasure."

"…the blissful tones and genuinely ear-pleasing melodies of this pop-folk sensation
will continue to reach more ears and gain more fans."
- VAPORS MAGAZINE
"Sophie Madeleine brings forth songs written and sung as if they are meant for only
one set of ears. Her lyrics capture the essence of pillow talk and promises... They
haunt my mind and leave my lips for days in the form of a whistle."
