“Prita is without doubt one of the finest female singer/songwriters anywhere out there. I first got into her music through a colleague at Radio Caroline in 2011 and I’ve been playing her on my show every week since then. Every single track on her album is a gem and she’s just as good live. Make 2012 the year it happens for this amazing lady. She’s going to be huge.”

“‘Prita hailing from Australia gave us a dynamic, full of originality performance covering several genres effectively incorporating live loops which added numerous layers of extra vocals and guitar to some numbers, not used all the time and for some songs we just simply had Prita’s gorgeous voice and guitar work flowing over us.. Of the many different influences to her work the one that stood out for me was Tracy Chapman especially during the powerful ‘My Home’ her take on the refugee/boat people issues in Australia and the fact that apart from the Aborigines everyone in the country arrived on a boat or plane. One of the most original pieces of stage craft I have witnessed at a show occurred during this set when Prita invited a member of the audience onto the stage and asked him to say any words he liked into the live loop machine, she would then incorporate the repeating recorded words into a song. -Andrew Lock “

“The performance made wide use of one of Prita’s distinguishing musical features, the loop pedal. The use of the pedal reflects Prita’s love of harmony.“It’s a great way to have a solo show and then still make a bigger sound,” Prita explained. The loop is just one aspect of a technically rich performance, underwritten by a flexible yet always impressive voice, which succeeds in giving layers of musical depth to this one-woman show.”

“We sent our review team to Swindon to check out Prita, an Australian newcomer on her UK autumn tour. They came back singing her praises (as well as some of her catchy songs). Oh and what a voice! She had our two chaps a little besotted by her and her music. She sings about personal experiences, from being on the road to home life back in the land of Oz.” British Urban Review – Live Review! 25/11/2011

‘‘The name Prita has been a staple on the Fremantle folk scene for the past few years, and is no stranger to a festival bill either. So with such exposure behind the artist, it is timely that she releases her debut album New Life. The criticism of many female folk singers is that they can invariably all sound the same. Prita has been able to combat this in the live setting by using a loop pedal and stomp box..’ Xpress Album Review

‘The treats started early with PRITA, she certainly set the tone for the evening by capturing the audience by the ears and making them sit quietly to listen to the quality of her songs.’ Live Review by Derek Cromb (Charles Hotel- Toby, Hussy Hicks, Prita)

‘Whilst the strum, strum, sing, sing folk musician is part of the furniture in most pubs around Australia, at least certainly Fremantle, Prita also uses her voice, her greatest asset, together with a loop pedal and at times a stomp box to create a sort of one-man-band, or should I say woman, in order to create her own flavour of folk. It is this innovation that sets Prita apart from the other folk musicians in the local scene, and it’s this point of difference that will hopefully see the success of her new disc..’ Soulshine live Review 2009
