Lisa Gentile
shows she's got it. Backed by a great band, singer Lisa Gentile showed
why one year ago she walked away with the Sammy for best country CD.
On the very stage on which she accepted that Sammy, Gentile displayed
that she's the proud owner of fine original songs that sound as great
live as they do on CD. "Sweet on You" is as catcjy a love
ballad as most of the stuff on contemporary country radio these days.
And live, Gentile's got plenty of it-factor. She charmed the fans
who were crowding into the shade in front of the stage with an easy
way. - Syracuse Post Standard
Lisa Gentile, country singer-songwriter, performs asoul-searing set
during the Sammys’ day of musical acts. Local pop-country afficionado
and winner of 2007’s Best Country award, performed a genuine,
heartfelt set that featured the airy “Sweet On You,” a
tune from her EP 3 (Padre Music). Gentile’s performance also
included an impulsive rendition of her tune “Tell Him How You
Like It,”a feminine call to arms that describes the methodology
women should use to instruct their man in sexual matters.-
Syracuse New Times
"A
tuneful, toneful singer with a smile as big as her voice."
- The Eagle, Syracuse, NY
"She is one of those artists who is writing songs
that say exactly what we would say, if only we all were poets and
troubadours."
-Rambles Cultural Arts Magazine
"This young singer/songwriter writes beautiful
lyrics that are poetic and swift with a packed punch. Her words
dance in front of us from the cast of her sweet and heavenly divine
voice like flames on candles through a gust of wind. Lisa gives
her music life through this brilliant orchestration. Her music is
a form of storytelling following a similar artistic technique used
by Billy Joel throughout his body of work. Hearing stories in this
controlled medium was an extraordinary aural experience that was
like a cup of chicken noodle soup that soothed the soul. Lisa’s
talents are equally matched by a superb auxiliary behind her to
whisk us away."

"The
beautiful Lisa Gentile has come up with 3 songs that are decidedly
crossover country, on the same trail that Shania blazed, with at
least as lovely a voice. By the time you're through with that 2nd
song, you'll seriously wonder why you've not heard of Lisa. Perhaps
you have. You should. She's super - and luckily not just by voice.
The recording of this single is crisp and professionally produced.
" -Music Dish E- Journal
"Lisa
has a strong classy voice with the songs to match. Just listen to
"I'm Over You", "Crack Me Open" and "Here It Comes" for further
proof of this womans appeal. With the current musical climate swinging
more to the singer/songwriter I think that we should be hearing
a great deal more from Lisa if this CD is anything to go by."-Poweplay
Magazine
"She's
a tender storyteller who weaves tales of life as a woman finding
her path through the experience of what it means to live, love and
be loved while being bold and feminine at the same time. Staying
true to her moods and close to her roots, Lisa inspires quite effortlessly
with a stunning voice that soars and takes you along for the ride."
