The Times “Jerry Williams Is A Star In The Making”
Record Of The Day “Think feminine Ed Sheeran, Jerry Williams a true British star set to deservedly breakthrough in an enormous way."
Fresh on The Net “Jerry Williams is like a female Alex Turner, and I mean that sincerely and in the best possible way. Her talent is raw, poetic, easy, unforced and compelling. Her lyrics are smart, her melodies warm and delicious, together they spin a sugar coated bitter pill of reality”.
The Guardian “Adroitly executed by a young woman who ‘would happily write songs all day, everyday, forever’. No complaints here if they’re all of this standard.”
