“Rising star and German-born, London resident singer songwriter/pianist Lenz brings a refreshing edge and openness to her poignant and beautiful originals – not least via her live video demos, which are filmed and recorded in real time and presented free on her website. Mixing alt-rock and savvy pop confessionals, Lenz is a compelling prospect live.” – TimeOut London 09/2011

On “Alte Schönhauser”

“With eloquent lyrics and evocative melodies, Alev Lenz’s debut UK EP is a diverse and beautifully moody collection of alternative pop.” – The Panel, MusicWeek

“Certainly someone to look out for this year.” – Music News

“Stomping Tori Amos and Sheryl Crow spirited horn hounded pop rises in tempo and spirit, as this Berlin based singer/songwriter oozes confidence, independence and heart-on-sleeve honesty.” – All Gigs

“Possesses enough tenderness, deep delving, instrumental weaving and a splash of cynicism in order to earn Lenz some exposure and respect.” – ComfortComes

“What else is floating our boat at Hit Sheet Towers this month: ʼquirky pop singer songwriterʼ Alev Lenz“ – Hit Sheet UK

“Love songs for every temperament” – Roomthirteen

On “Storytelling Piano Playing Fräulein”

„Simply different. (…) The 26-year young (Alev), whose turkish name translates into ‚flame’ won’t be caught up in cliches: Her compositions oscillate from Classic, Jazz and Pop, indulge in arragements with a string quartet or sparkle with clever guitar accompaniment out of the speakers into the Room.“ Associated Press

„The half german, half turkish Alev Lenz covinces on her debutalbum as a Storytelling Piano Playing Fräulein. (…) Now if that’s not the popcultural equivalent to the first chairman of a party with migration background.“ Rolling Stone Magazine
