"...Now up on the blog, check out the beautiful and talented Jeanne Marie Boes - the Astoria, NY native who belts it out with heart and soul -- she has certainly caught our eye..." -
"…There’s definitely a place for a female singer to grab the limelight and with songs like this, Jeanne Marie Boes could be one to watch…” -
"...A songstress stylish enough to be a French film star..." -
"…Though she’s young and still relatively unknown, with songs this good, it does not seem like she’ll be mired in anonymity for too much longer…” -
"...As a tunesmith, she also looks back to an earlier era, yet her mix of Rat Pack orchestral pop, torch song, blues, cabaret and occasional stadium rock bombast is uniquely her own. She likes a clever turn of phrase, yet she’s down to earth at the same time. Like Harold Arlen – someone she resembles thematically if not really stylistically – she’s created her own niche..." -
"...She’s got brass in her upper register, a pillow-y, dreamy quality in the lows and a soaring range. She sings conversationally, intimately: you feel like she’s in the room with you. You have to go back a long ways to find a comparison..." -
"…There’s a haunting and soulful quality in her music.. for fans of blues, jazz, or anything in between, she’s not someone to be missed…" -
"…With soulful vocals, Jeanne Boes mixes pop and blues, but despite the pop component, her music still takes you back to another era when she gets behind a piano…" -
"…Jeanne Marie Boes tickles the keys in a way that puts you next to a fireplace with a glass of scotch in your hand – but if you’re a cheating man, that glass of scotch might fly into your head…" -
"…Ever since we worked with Jeanne Marie, through The Times Square Group, when she was still at The Frank Sinatra School of the Arts we knew she was destined to become a known figure in the field of songwriting and performing…” -
"…Like an actress changing costumes between scenes, New York singer/songwriter Jeanne Marie Boes slips comfortably between vocal stylings, one moment she’s a lounge singer beyond her years and the next she’s a smoky pop diva. But whether she’s backed by a baby grand or a synthesizer, the passionate emotion behind her songs of love and heartbreak shines through…" -
"…Wise beyond her years… Astoria performer will touch with her words…" -
"...Gorgeous voice - so classic and romantic! [She's] so talented..." -
"…‘The One’ is a muscular, bluesy song, reminiscent of Amy Winehouse in style and, even more so in Jeanne’s vocal interpretation... [...] The recording has been expertly self-produced with a full, driving sound that pushes Jeanne’s voice straight across a great mix of, unbelievably, just three musicians…" -
"...A beautiful voice and a beautiful soul, Jeanne Marie Boes was one of the first musicians on board for ASU Harmony Sessions: Volume 1 and has proven she's in it for the long haul..." -
"…Her voice is the first thing that grips you. Those bluesy, sultry notes, that unforgettable, evocative delivery – it’s impossible not to take notice…" -
