"Combines her passion for the classics with a bright, modern pop sensibility and lyrics of truth."
"The Other Side is an album which wears its influences on its sleeve but simultaneously sets about carving out its own path from the second the needle hits the groove. Dense, thoughtful songwriting
accompanies boundary-pushing
production and instrumentation in one of the year's most engaging records."
"The Other Side has it all - from
hearty swagger, through
easygoing carefree numbers, to
lilting gentle songs of hope."
"Crystalline vocals are buoyed
by steady rhythms, and the
string section delivers a dreamy
accompaniment that swoops
and swells in all the right places."
"Vintage country influences mixed with brooding openheartedness and celestial folk..achingly graceful vocals that recall Linda Ronstadt and Rosanne Cash."
"In a world of discord, a volatile political environment and what often leads to anger, resentment and dissolution of friendships, Mabilene has written a song that offers hope, a chance to build a bridge between each other, even when we don't see eye to eye."
