Andrea England - News

"The latest offering from Andrea England looks to be promising if the CD single we received from her is any indication (hell, its even sponsored by Mike's Hard Lemonade). The single "Lemonade" is a great catchy song, reminesant of Jewel in its sincerity and approach. Expect big things in the coming months from Ms. England!"

- Sean Harley, Canadian-Music.com March 2002 Newsletter

"Andrea England’s single Lemonade...the first single from her forth coming cd...super smooth! A great sound for AC and CHR stations. Right now we have it in medium to high rotation...and is building phones for us. If Lemonade is any indication of what the rest of the album will be like...Lemonade will only be one of many adds from her cd to station play lists all over the country."

- Frankie M, Music Programmer, 1015 The Hawk, Port Hawkesbury, NS

"Andrea's tune, Lemonade, passes one of the most important tests in radio...the 'hum along' test. When it's playing, you find yourself humming along and taping your feet. As a programmer and a listener…that's what I want! So much of Andrea's personality comes out in her songs. A genuine warmth, intelligence, and a voice that comes straight from the heart. I wish her great success!!"

- Gord Christie, Program Director, CJFX Radio, Antigonish, NS

"One thing I didn’t mention in last week’s ECMA wrap up was the Songwriters Circle with topline talent such as Bruce Guthro, Jimmy Rankin, John Gracie, Ron Bourgeois and Gordie Sampson leading the way. Along with these high profile performers (and SOCAN sponsored veterans Ken Tobias and The Good Brothers), the lineup included several newcomers. I was very impressed with the crystal-clear voice of Paula Foley and the unique word crafting of Andrea England (who has come a long way since her showcase in Sydney in 2000). If the radio station programmers are smart (an oxymoron?) they’ll start playing England’s ‘Lemonade’ as soon as it becomes available."

- Dan MacDonald, 'Feedback' column, The Cape Breton Post, February 14, 2002

"I've seen songwriters come and go in my 38 years of professional music writing, but Andrea England stands out. I told her she is going to be a star"

- Ken Tobias, songwriter, SOCAN Special Guest performer February 2002 ECMA Songwriter Circle

“If we were forced to make one single favorite choice from all the eclectic, entertaining and all around enjoyable events of the whole weekend, we would have to say the Songwriters Circle. Although the circle was shared by hundreds and hundreds of fans, it still had the feel of a very casual, relaxed house party. As each participant explained the why, when, where, who, and how of the writing of their chosen song, and then performed it for us; the audience was totally consumed by the moment…. Andrea England's song and album "Lemonade" was wonderful. If you see it on a shelf for sale, pick it up. See if you do not agree with us - ­We love it!”

- Donna McNaughton and Shirley Murray, The Pictou Advocate

“Andrea England’s songs came off fresh and vibrant. The song Lemonade was as refreshing to my ears as a cool drink on a hot August day.”

- Ron Bourgeois, songwriter, February 2002, ECMA Songwriter Circle Participant

"[Andrea’s] music is original, heartfelt, and dynamic...her tenacity and determination at making a dent in this music business is commendable…I highly recommend supporting her new recording endeavor, as I trust it will add significant substance to the Canadian Music Climate."
