“'These are pages from my journal, it’s personal and parts of my story. I hope they feel my sincerity and vulnerability. My music is an authentic piece of me. I create from a place deep within my spirit and allow what’s inside of me out. I hope my fans can feel that. I feel so grateful for this amazing time in my life. I have found my purpose and passion. I love making music and this is the best time in my life yet', Brandi Vezina explains."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"Tinged here and there with hints of Dolly Parton, it doesn't push any country envelopes, and tends to stay firmly within set musical boundaries, but it's a solid debut which, with something to say to its audience, should see Brandi Vezina building a career worth watching."

- Mike Davies / Fatea Magazine -

"These 7 songs could and should have the capacity to bring Brandi Vezina to the attention of the majors, be that labels or promoters, as she has talent in abundance."

- Alan Harrison / The Rocking Magpie -

"I really like the catchy uptempo country crossover pop rock pieces such as 'Charming Narcissist', 'Danger' (lovely early 80's light aor pop rock orientated), and 'John Dillinger Type', while here and there we can also hear a ballad orientated piece like the beautiful midtempo 'Alberta Rose'."

- Gabor Kleinbloesem / Strutterzine -

"Canadian singer songwriter Brandi Vezina is using her music to pinpoint and highlight the impact for women and girls when they are tied up in a wrong relationship or an unsatisfying employment situation. On her 1st album, ‘#dontsettle', she is singing these meaningful messages on 7 nicely composed melodies.“

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -

"'#dontsettle' is a professionally recorded and released album, maybe with a little more pop touches, but with all the other sounds and things, which she has previously delivered in her singles."

- Branimir Lokner / Time Machine Music -
