“[Whitley] is blessed with such Joplin-sized pipes she could literally blow away your hair, eyebrows and pants with a careless whisper.”

— PopMatters

Fourth corner

2013

“Pain, desire, rage, sorrow, determination and loneliness course through Trixie Whitley’s bluesy moan on her debut album, Fourth Corner. She’s haunted in ways both elemental and cerebral.”

— New York Times

“Singer-songwriter Trixie Whitley has powerful pipes, but her first full-length release is as nuanced as it is soulful, distinguished by her dusky contralto and a series of richly atmospheric songs that tap into roiling emotions.”

— The Washington Post

“On her eclectic debut, Fourth Corner, Whitley, now 25, cribs Nina Simone, Cat Power, and PJ Harvey, growling over electric guitars (Breathe You In My Dreams) or cooing in shivery whispers (Pieces), but always finding a voice that’s truly her own.”
