Music Industry Reviews

"Victoria Fuller's Small Moments combines pop rock with a twist of jazz and great, insightful lyrics. The pop rock love song, "I Really Want to See You" with its pretty melody will have you singing along. "Your Heart" is a jazzy pop rock tune that showcases Victoria's lovely, angelic voice. "Why Can't We Agree" is an upbeat song about finding a compromise, and "Am I Crazy to Be in Love" contains a great hook on the chorus that will stick in your mind. In her own unique way, Victoria seamlessly bridges the gap between jazz, pop, and rock with tracks like the slightly funky, "Point of View," the heartfelt "Right One Wrong Time," and the enchanting, "I Don't Know Why." "I Saved Me" is dramatic with lots of breaks & tempo changes. The sexy, "The One For Me" is a bluesy, jazz rock tune about true love, while "Best Friend" is a sunny song about best friends who are lovers. "I Confess" is a cute, blues rock song about loving someone despite all their faults. The album ends with the title track, "Small Moments," which has an alluring combination of melody & harmony. Overall, a delightful album!

"Victoria Fuller's CD "Small Moments" is a wonderful
listening experience. It is full of those "small
moments" that bring back a memory, make you laugh, or
even bring a tear to your eye. Victoria is an
artist, and like the finest works of art, her songs
continually reveal new subtleties on repeated
listening. She reveals herself to be a gifted
singer-songwriter, with a voice that serves her songs
well."

" Your Heart" has a good groove and "Crazy To Be In Love" has a nice rolling vocal melody and upbeat tune.
Nice well crafted songs, nice lyrics, vocal melody, good job."
Reviewer: Billboard Song Contest

"The song, "Right One Wrong Time", has a quality about it that truly strikes a chord with me."
Reviewer: Lior Shamir, Managing Director, We Are Listening

"Her lyrics are economical and very muscular, with rhymes often delivered in staccato couplets. The instrumentation is simple and unadorned, her evocative acoustic guitar occasionally blended with keyboards, drums or bass, the odd electric guitar flourish. Front and center is Fuller’s voice, which caresses each melody like a wrapper on candy. She manages to evoke Joni Mitchell without sounding like Mitchell, or Rickie Lee Jones without mimicking Jones. Her supple voice moves quickly and easily through a range of styles including jazz, folk and rock, often in the same song, sometimes in the same chorus. The title track exemplifies this. Lyrically, the fully arranged “Why We Can’t Agree” manages to reconcile pathos and playfulness in a very disarming and surprising way."

"Victoria Fuller has the pure, sweet vocals of a folk singer, but on her full-length debut, Small Moments, she leans more toward light jazz and easy listening. Fuller’s observations on various romantic entanglements are to the point. She’s most effective on songs with strong melodies, like the bouncing pop of “Why Can’t We Agree” and the acoustic-based “Best Friend.”"
