From Metro Times, review of "Honesty"
Longtime Detroit singer-songwriter Carolyn Striho really needn't have bothered naming her new album Honesty. After all, it should be apparent to anyone who listens — not just hears but really listens — to the lovingly constructed record that there's barely a note played or sung that Striho doesn't really mean, from the depths of her soul to the entirety of her larynx. Striho can rock out whenever she wants —she most certainly does on the very in-your-face title track — but she's at her best when using her voice like a quilt to comfort the listeners' senses. And that's what the majority of this record really does.



From the Metro Times, review of "Is This Me?"
Is This Me? is exceptionally good. The internationally renowned Detroit artist's voice is, at turns, warm, rich, idiosyncratic and, at times, just plain (in a good way) eccentric. "Tiara" opens things on a violin-driven, downbeat, almost mournful but still melodically beautiful note. "Ocean's" trippiness and mid-song chanting almost could be Patti Smith. And that's meant as a compliment — a big one. "Enchante" opens with a calliope-driven instrumental musical interlude before the lyrics kick in and it becomes a clash between the sounds of Barnum & Bailey and gypsys, tramps and thieves.!
