“With a voice that belies her modest 23 years, Beth Arrison’s presence cascades through her own material piercing the night air with a smoky luminescent quality…Beth Arrison is certainly an artist worth discovering in these incipient stages of her career. Her writing is incredibly sophisticated for someone her age…” - Tony King, CKUA
“Her voice is a classic beauty. A smoldering and wispy mix of the seductive, sensual and astonishingly pure…She’s well on her way with the release of her CD Modest Charms – a gorgeous album of self-penned dreamers…” - Mike Bell, Calgary Sun
“It’s unusual to hear such an accomplished debut…the nine tunes on Modest Charms show surprising sophistication and versatility in both their conception and execution, some with languid phrasing and delicate tones reminiscent of Astrud Gilberto, or deeper, sultry numbers with an elastic sense of phrasing.” - Roger Levesque, Edmonton Journal
"Songs that paint pictures with words..."
- Robyn Radcliffe, News Leader (Vancouver Island)
“Sultry, silky, seductive, smooth, pick your S-word to describe Modest Charms, the music ranges from gentle bossa novas to lazy ragtime to mild swing…It’s all very tasty with muted trumpet solos sprinkled here and there, spare arrangements, understated performances throughout. It would scream “mellow” if mellow could scream. An urgent whisper, maybe. In short, it could be a hit.”
- Mike Ross, Edmonton Sun
