Kurtz's voice is a potent
thing. The Times
Picayune
Kurtz tilts her head back at an
angle and spins melodic, earthbound poetry that sets loose demons only to
dismiss them into the ether.

Rich as the darkest Godiva
chocolate, the voice gets into your bones until you can barely sleep at night
and can’t get through the day without it….Kurtz sounds at times like her musical
DNA contains traces of Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits, not to mention the world’s
great cabaret singers.– Paste

Kurtz’s diverse vocals feel both old and new, recalling Nina Simone of
yesteryear…hypnotically haunting – New York
