"...REAL,
IMPROVISED
JAZZ,
establishing Wells
as a
formidable newcomer..."
Town and Village "Arts Beat"
- Barry Bassis
Pittsburg Tribune - Review, Bob Karlovitz
"...She loads her album "A Blind Date" with familiar songs such as "Blue Skies," "Bye Bye Blackbird," and "Night in Tunisia," but manages to give them life. That is primarily because she has a fine voice and sense of song..."

Jazz Weekly, George W. Harris
"Her HUSKY and EARTHY voice delivers a RICH reading of "Baltimore Oriole," with Wells REACHING DEEP into the SOIL for the ROOT of the piece. She is COMPLETELY UNINTIMIDATED by the aggressive support during "Night in Tunisia," and delivers a MUSCULAR AND PHYSICAL TOUR DE FORCE."

"I am not sure why Shea Breaux Wells has been such a well-kept secret, but with her “A Blind Date” release, the cat’s out of the bag; this vocalist can not only carry a tune, but do so in such a compelling manner, it is impossible to ignore... "

Collected Sounds - Amy Lotsberg
"Wells has a MARVELOUSLY SEXY, SULTRY VOICE that is perfect for this genre. This is one talented lady, not only did she write most of these songs, she produced the album and did the lion's share of the arranging as well. |
BLOGCRITICS - Jon Sobel
"Shea Breaux Wells mixes up torchy jazz and contemporary piano pop, but she seems more inspired, both as a singer and a songwriter, in the former language. Her strength as a vocalist is in the fine points of melodic movement called for by jazz chords."

The Celebrity Cafe - Sari N. Ken
"This singer/songwriter’s penchant for meditative lyrics will DAZZLE listeners, and make them contemplate the true gist of what she is saying. Shea Breaux Wells’ “Piece of the Light” is an album by a clever singer/songwriter that truly expresses the artist’s deep-seeded thoughts. She BLATANTLY BARES HER SOUL in song, and listeners will be helplessly drawn by this emotional siren."

"Wells' beautiful voice fits well with the picture of this very promising and upcoming jazz singer. Her HONEY-LIKE VOICE seems to glide through the songs..."
