My First International Review


Thanks to the kind folks at Maverick Magazine in the UK for reviewing my album "Stories Behind Songs" in their recent issue! I'm blushing...

"Shantell Ogden’s STORIES BEHIND SONGS embraces the raw materials of country music and folk, marries them together with honest lyrics and sweet melodies, and gives the nine track album refreshing dimension."

"Beautifully romanticised lyrics of love and fairytales are told and enhanced by Shantell’s sugary spun vocals, giving it album gem quality."

"This album is a songbook record of beautiful acoustic quality that is an absolute credit to its thoughtful creator. Play it in the house; listen to it in the car but I guarantee, it’s an album well worth the listen and has my highest recommendation."
