"The best singer songwriters capture their world with such clarity that the particular becomes the universal", wrote Mark Cooper in his 4 Star Review of 'Angel in Labour. "There are echoes of the folk-jazz of John Martyn or Bridget St. John in Cassell's unhurried phrasing and something of Eddi Reader in the way she'll linger on a note but there's a melodic flair that is her own...the songs, the voice and the manner in which Cassell tracks emotions to their source is rare in any era." described it as "A fresh, impressive debut by an English singer-songwriter who cites a debt to Joni Mitchell and certainly bears comparison for the cool, jazz-inflected sweetness of her music and the restless, bittersweet sensitivity of her lyrics." site. tel: +44 (0)208 445 7425
