Reviews for EVEN THOUGH THE SKY WAS FALLING:
.a magical way with song.Leonard Cohen has no copyright on the word hallelujah." ~
Brad Wheeler, The Globe & Mail, Essential Track of the Day, Tuesday May 11, 2010
Even Though the Sky Was Falling is more joyous and upbeat than her previous albums of heartbreak and loss. But Ellis retains a porcelain-like quality that remains poignant for its delicacy. ~ Robert Reid, Record staff / Guelph Mercury, May 18, 2010
MONTREAL - Singer-songwriter Karyn Ellis finds inspiration in some bizarre spots - creepy CSI episodes, for example. But that doesn't make the inventively arranged songs on her latest album, Even Though the Sky Was Falling, any less charming. ~ Bernard, Perusse, What's On Your I-POD?, The Montreal Gazette, Thursday May 6, 2010
Rating 4 out of 5. A classically trained musician who set out to sing opera, this bright Ontario girl got sidetracked into pop music and weird day jobs, including singing telegrams for a living. Even Though the Sky Was Falling, her sophomore CD, proves this is a woman with stories. ~ Marke Andrews, Windsor Star / Vancouver Sun, May 8, 2010
Canadian singer-songwriter Karyn Ellis is an innovative and eclectic talent.[she] has the uncanny ability of hitting the jackpot quite regularly with her songs. her work is of another level. ~ Maurice Hope, Americana-uk.com, June 6, 2010
To put it plain and simple, Karyn Ellis is a pop singer-songwriter that others should aspire to be likesetting the bar for female pop singer-songwriters ~ Gray Owl Point, May 15, 2010
as if writing a brilliant song were child's play.it is challenging to identify a single standout on an album that is so remarkably clear and consistent. Karyn Ellis is a singer we simply must embrace in Europe. ~ Martin Overheul, altcountryforum.nl, January 27, 2010
Even Though The Sky Was Falling appears on CHARTattack Staff Top 10 Album Lists For 2009
"4,5***** Flawless songs, an entirely fantastic voice, musicians that put themselves completely at service of the songs, and on top of that, with Don Kerr a great producer on board – we cannot think of what else one could wish for. A fantastic disc!" ~ Benny Metten, CtrlAltCountry.be, January 11, 2010
"The sky might be falling, but Karyn's ten celestial tunes on "Even Though The Sky Was Falling", her second full-length release, are sure to send this songstress's star on a rapid rise." ~ Allison Brown, !earshot Magazine, January 12, 2010
"Karyn Ellis's Even Though the Sky Was Falling grabbed my heartstrings immediately and hasn't let go." ~ Rozalind McPhail, NxEW.ca, November 6, 2010
"Smart and Beautiful. ***** (5 stars) Karyn brings her beautiful sound to life with playful lyrics that spark playful memories. I loved it from the first listen." ~ iTunes Customer Review
"[Even Though The Sky Was Falling] is ornate and beautiful and just wow."~ Tyler B., Ann Arbor, USA.
"[Karyn Ellis is] sweet and ferocious all at once. [H]er album [is] a celebration of the mundane.the stuff we're all too hard-bitten and realistic to talk about in front of our friends. The stuff the Romantic poets wrote about. I'm in for the long run with Ellis."~ Eric Malette, London Ontario"

Her previous CD, HEARTS FALL, a CBC and campus station favourite, appeared on CBC playlists like the Vinyl Cafe, Bandwidth, Freestyle and Radio Canada International and spent six months on regional campus top-30 charts across Canada as well as reaching number 49 on the national campus Top-50 chart (exclaim!) and number 19 on the national campus monthly folk/roots/blues charts (earshot-online.com). About the record, CBC's Amanda Putz from BANDWIDTH comments: "[Karyn's] voice is lovely, the arrangements are simple & clever, and there's an almost rustic quality to the record-likely from being recorded live off the floor-that makes it extra sweet."
