"Being a blonde who majors in a style of music that is both introspective and vulnerable, Lagerstrom will instantly garner comparisons to tragedy laced Folk artist Eva Cassidy. But that’s where the comparisons end. In all actuality, Lagerstrom is blessed with vocals that are like a collage of Beth Gibbons of Portishead, Margo Timmins of Cowboy Junkies and Gladys Knight all molded into one."
- The Independent
"Her voice is so inviting that you want to wrap yourself in it like a warm blanket."
- The Spectrum,
"Lagerström’s voice has true Soul in it and I don’t mean the swinging kind but the kind of Soul that gets under your skin and makes you itch.”
- Folk Forum, Netherlands
"Heaven Sent, the new album from Victoria Lagerström, is fascinatingly beautiful...Victoria’s soft soul-jazz voice is like a young to midaged Joni Mitchell."
- Meadowmusic, Sweden
(Continued from article on Dave Tate) "...It's a quality that made the gorgeous Swedish singer-songwriter Victoria Lagerstrom contact him via e-mail, fall in love with him (Tate) and resulted in a marriage in the spring of 2007. Lagerstrom had already recorded the CD Heaven Sent in Sweden, more richly produced, although slightly less unique than her new husband's albums, but still with a quite striking style all of her own, in which elements seem to come together of Beth Gibbons (Portishead), Gladys Knight and Margo Timmins (Cowboy Junkies). At once soulful and folky, Lagerstrom manages to sound angel like and down to earth at the same time, making the timeless Heaven Sent a more than enjoyable record on its own merits."
