All four star-coaches in TV-show The Voice turned around and wanted to work with Nanna Larsen, when she sang a very moving version of Sometimes it snows in April by Prince.
Lene Nystrom from Aqua was moved to tears, and Sharin Foo from The Raveonettes said: My heart beat an extra beat!. - THE VOICE of DENMARK - TV2.DK
"Artist Nanna Larsen from Denmark who impressed people by her lyrical, sensitive and clear voice does not need any common clichés for her ballads that are as soft as silk. She succeeds in leading the audience to show their emotions – sometimes the sun is shining, then there are melancholic autumn feelings between the lines. Her songs ( “Nothing I can do”, “Why do I”…) from her new album “Not the perfect girl” were developed out of her great love for the music and are certainly unique in this form. The charming singer presented this in a very impressing way." By Johannes Seifert - German newspaper
"The range that 38-year-old Nanna Larsen had to offer was astonishing. She made it easily to move the people to tears and one song later to make them clap their hands enthousiastically. This was already her second concert in Wolnzach and she praised the audience that reacted on her music in a very sensitive way". - "Wolnzach Statt" German Paper
"The audience will never forget her second gig at the Kunstscheune. With a lot of feeling she spiced her lust for life with northern melancholy and enriched all this with her perfect guitar playing. The audience asked for three encores and in the end there where standing ovations."
By Bruno Turchet - "Neuburg und Region" German Newspaper
Her lyrics, music and voice, is full of life, love and strength. Her performance is real and honest and her presence amazing. Nanna Larsen simply grabs your heart and she'll leave you wanting more, though she gives you her all.
- Host of the Songsalive! Scandinavian Showcase Petina Arskog.
