GLOBE AND MAIL- Brad Wheeler (Dec/07):	"Vancouver jaw-singer Layla Zoe walked the divide of Janis Joplin and Joss Stone, showing off her tattoos and a suggestive nature that drew wolf whistles and applause from the male part of the audience. A brawny Hoochie-Coochie Woman was what she sang – and was."
NOW magazine, Toronto (Dec/07):	"BC's Layla Zoe almost stole the whole show with her long red hair, glittery blue dress and skyscraper, tattoo-adorned legs. Her seductively serpentine sway and Joplinesque energy during No More Stormy Mondays and Hoochie Coochie Woman had the crowd hypnotized."

TORONTO BLUES SOCIETY- Sharon Grace:	"Since her arrival on the Toronto blues scene in January of this year, Layla Zoe continues to leave an indelible impression on her audiences and fellow artists. This redheaded, blues siren who hails from Vancouver Island, made a valuable and lasting connection with Toronto’s own voice of the blues, host of bluz.fm, Danny Marks."
DENESE IZZARD/JOURNALIST FOR THE GABRIOLA SOUNDER:	"Layla Zoe, a stylish singer with a fabulous future. Billed for her Janis Joplin-like tunes of the 60's and 70's, she showed incredible versatility, revealing shades of Midler,Cher,Shania and yes, Celine- depending on your ear. Wearing an elegant short black A-line dress, black shoes and knee high stockings, she untied her sleek, pont-tailed, red-blonde, letting her hair fall, and belted out the blues like a seasoned songstress. That's blues class."
