“Ry Cuming makes pop with a solid does of soul….[that] manages to paint a vivid picture that could evoke California love or heartache—depending on how you look at it.” – ArtistDirect (link to interview)
“Ry’s music is a special blend of soul and pop; think Jack Johnson and Marvin Gaye giving birth to a child who was then raised by Jeff Buckley. The Aussie crooner’s tunes like “Always Remember Me” and “Some Kind Of Love” are soft, sentimental and full of longing; while tunes like “Tearing Me Apart” is angst that’s been funkdefied.” –Idolator (link to feature)
