Phebe Starr is the latest pop starlet from down under to make our collective heart skip a beat. You're about to seriously fall head over heels for Phebe Starr, but it's ok, we're all in this together. - Neon Gold
You know how Kate Bush has that little tear in her voice that makes her sound both invincible and vulnerable at the same time? Australia's Phebe Starr has that same knack: the seeming chink in her armor is also what makes her so appealing - Vices Noiesy
"Phebe Starr is serving it!!! This Australian is channeling some old school Kate Bush meets new school Marina & The Diamonds! A fave and another fave! AND, in addition to great music, Phebe Starr is also serving us some great and interesting visuals too!" - Perez Hilton -
Sydney's Phebe Starr has achieved an amazing feat, writing a song that's intimate yet stratospheric. Maybe that's why the film clip for 'Alone With You' looks like it's set on the moon (stratospheric) but she's not floating away from the lack of gravity (intimate). It's a metaphor, man!??Even if I've read the film clip totally wrong - and I'm pretty sure I haven't - 'Alone With You' is a beautiful, rolling tune from Phebe Starr, and here's your exclusive first look at the video.

“Sydney a young lass named Phebe Starr may well have the pop anthem of the year on her hands with Alone With You. This is a monster of a ballad, thumping through your speakers with crystal-clear kick drum marches and a swelling arrangement that outclasses many of Starr's soon-to-be-peers such as Lykke Li, Florence Welch and Sia”.
- Dave Ruby Howe- The age Melbourne.
At Oh Hello, Phebe Starr couldn't help but reference Lady Gaga through exaggerated gestures and an outfit consisting of a sheet and a series of lit up pyramids. I'd pitch this somewhere between Gaga and Kimbra, in a really optimistic way. She played a cover of the recently annulled Little Red's 'Rock It' which went down near as smoothly as her single 'Alone With You', which has been receiving abundant triple j play lately. - Tommy Faith
Phebe Starr is the latest pop starrlet from down under to make our collective heart skip a beat. The Australian chanteuse's debut single, "Alone With You", mixes and matches the dark whimsy of Mr. Little Jeans with shades of the legendary Sia and the frostbitten charm of Lykke Li, as skittering synths, wistful melodies, and hydraulic drums wash over you like waves of everlasting hope. You're about to seriously fall head over heels for Phebe Starr, but it's ok, we're all in this together. - Neon Gold
