“Bree is the type of act who you see playing at your local cafe or bar and the whole table just stops and appreciates the bare bones, endearing charm she’s dishing up” – Declan Byrne from Triple J Unearthed
“Bree’s vocals perfectly compliment her pop-folk sound met by her storytelling in not only her lyrics, but the composition of the track. Although Bree’s sound greets you with a familiarity, there is no female doing what she is in the folk genre. Inspired by the likes of Julia Stone, Bree still differs from this; she puts her own spin on the genre, creating something special that keeps you listening. Lyrically, Bree displays a maturity far beyond her age, with clever lyrics that reflect on the world around her. There’s something special about Bree Rusev. If you’re looking for someone who has the same style of music as Ziggy Alberts, I HIGHLY recommend checking out this wonderful young singer-songwriter” – Tara Campbell from Temporary Dreamer, Oct 2020.
