"Kvaliteten är genomgående hög, det är musiker som verkligen kan sin sak, men samtidigt är det också emellanåt krävande, eftersom det emellanåt är allt annat än lättlyssnat radio-skval."

- Torbjörn Berlin / Berlin Calling -

"En nästan västkustplatta, med 11 låtar, där sångerskans hesa och unika sångröst verkligen ger oss låtar om vardagen och livssituationer. Låtar med ljusa somriga sköna sånger för lata dagar och ljuvliga sommarnätter."

- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -

"Vill ni höra en av de få popsångerskor som fått en British Empire Medal av drottning Elizabeth II, så ge Liz Lenten och hennes Auburn en chans."

- Robert Ryttman / Zero Magazine -

"This was a project born out of the isolation and distance of lockdown and driven by a renewed desire for human connection. Working with writers, vocalists, musicians, and producers from around the world, each song emerged from shared ideas and honest conversations. The album explores everyday life, relationships, friendships, and the situations we all find ourselves navigating."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"The music resonates with a satisfying groove and skillful playing."

- John Apice / Americana Highways -

The linking element of the songs is Liz Lenten's voice and writing. That is shared with Michael Garvin (Jennifer Lopez, George Benson) and Sharon Vaughn (Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson). There is a wide variety of styles and sounds here, so every listener should find something to love in this album."

- Tim Martin / Fatea Magazine -

"The songs are all harmonious and melodic and there is nothing to complain about the arrangements. The music should be assigned to the genre of pop music, with one or the other corner or edge, sometimes you can feel a touch of the music of Kate Bush, then again there are traces of americana."

- Wolfgang Giese / Musik An Sich -

"Auburn's 'Behind The Scenes' feels like a musical reunion, a collection of voices that find each other again after a long time and make something together that is greater than the sum of its parts. The result is a candid, versatile and surprisingly personal album that sounds both familiar and innovative. For lovers of authentic songwriting and warm, layered pop music, this is a release you don't want to miss."

- Fred Pach / Muziekwereld -

"British singer songwriter Liz Lenten performs as Auburn since several decades with regular new album releases. Her latest record, ‘Behind The Scenes’, involves 32 collaborators from all over the world. They compose and play 11 tracks that demonstrate her ability to combine various music styles and lyrical subjects in one new excellent album.“

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -

"Perhaps the distinctive, fragile vocal timbre of Liz Lenten is a bit difficult for the average music lover, on the other hand we are presented with a not without merit, alternately intimate piece of work."

- Cis van Looy / Written In Music -
