'The obscurity of Prince melds effortlessly with the soul of Stevie Wonder, as well as a slight nod to contemporary pop beats in the arrangement. Memorable and unique, Luke Askew captures old-school soul rock and brings it to modern-day audiences.' - The Other Side Reviews, Beek Street
"Spurred by a vision of creating melodies as a true expression of life in its entirety, Luke Askew has a raw, vulnerable and intimate sound to his songs."
