CD Review, Musical Discoveries, July 2009

Four years following her debut album Recollections, Rebecca (Becca) Gohn has delivered a
stunning five track EP entitled Glimpse (Selfreleased (USA) 22605 82162 6, 2008). The
20-minute EP not only illustrates the artist's growing maturity but also the full breadth and
depth of her singing and songwriting talent. We were delighted when she approached us to
listen to and review this EP.... If this is just a glimpse, we can't wait to hear the artist's next
full length album.

CD Review, Indie-Music.com, October 2005
-Tiffany Razzano
An album of beautiful and endearing piano ballads.
This album is clearly a bridge between her youth and her adulthood. Holden Caufield ran off
to New York City and had a nervous breakdown; Rebecca Gohn wrote an album of pretty
pop piano ballads which..are incredibly soothing to the listener and, likely, cathartic for her.

CD Review, Philadelphia Musician Resource Kitchen, July 2005
By Joey D
"Watch out vocalists, you have some stiff competition. Rebecca Gohn is by far the greatest
unsigned, local singer I've heard in years. Not only does Rebecca sing, but she plays
keyboards and writes all her own material. Rebecca brings to the table a fresh, soothing voice
seldom heard in music today, sounding more like she is Lisa Loeb's more talented sister than
a local/unsigned vocalist. A&R people where are you now?
This 12 track CD of slow tempo piano ballads is exactly what the title says it is. Recollections
of events that happen in life brought to you in thoughtful storytelling ways. 2 tracks that
stick out in my mind are the CD's opener, "I wonder where you are now?", which relays
images of the recollection of lost love. The third track, "Lottery", which asks the question 'Is
there a rhyme or reason for these things that I've seen, or is it just a Lottery?' I often wonder
whether there is fate or if things just happen in life randomly. This songs explores those exact
thoughts beautifully. OK, now I'm going to keep this short and sweet... go to
www.rebeccagohn.com, get a copy of this CD, and hear for yourself. You would be doing
your musical ears a disservice depriving them of the true amazement that is Rebecca Gohn."

"Rebecca Gohn's Recollections (Rebecca Gohn (USA) RGOHN5104, 2002) is a twelve track
collection of piano-accompanied ballads. Rebecca's sweet and tender voice carries the melody
atop piano accompaniment on each of the tracks.
This album is a nice introduction to Rebecca Gohn's sweet voice and lovely piano playing. We
are encouraged to hear that she is working on a new album and look forward to its future
release."

Featured Story, The Retrospect, November 2003

"Although local singer-songwriter Rebecca Gohn only began playing live a couple of years
ago, this was not evident as she captivated her audience with songs from her debut album
'Recollections' at St. Mary's Acoustic Coffeehouse in Haddon Heights on Saturday night,
November 8th."
"'Recollections' is a stripped-down recording, void of any fancy tricks or masking, that
showcases Gohn's talents as a solo performer....most of the album is simply Gohn and her
piano."
Featured Artist / Interview, Indiebyte.com, August 2003
..As an artist, I believe that music should be a reflection of who you are and what you
believe, that it should grow and change as you grow and change, and you should always
allow yourself to enjoy it.

"Rebecca draws her audience into her songs breathing emotion into every word she sings.
The combination of her strong vocal quality and delicate touch on the piano make for a
powerful, sensitive and very graceful show. Her lyrics are pointed and presented with a
great degree of sensitivity. She is a very fine songwriter and a captivating performer. I never
find myself looking away from the stage whenever she performs."
