O is a fantastic debut, one of the best albums to come out of Ireland this year… an absolute triumph of great song writing and honest performing...he has a killer album to his name’
Sunday Tribune 'O is undoubtedly one of the most inspired debut Irish albums ever, a ramshackle freewheeling document of young love and loss’ RTE Guide 'O ebbs and flows gracefully through some of the most heart-wrenching uplifting, sweepingly romantic and darkly contemplative tracks in his repertoire… O throbs with sheer humanity and bloody-minded honesty in the face of emotional debris…this is going to be one of the highlights of 2002…absolutely stunning!’ Hot Press ‘Rice has crafted one of the best Irish releases in the past 12 months… O is one to remember’ Irish Independent ‘He has created here some solid, intense, spine tingling moments’ Irish Times ‘O is an organic odyssey. O is obsessively outstanding. O is overpowering’ IMRO News 'a young singer-songwriter capable of touching the parts most of his contemporaries will never reach' Daily Telegraph 'o is driven by melody, embellished with sumptuous arrangements and underpinned by emotionally acute lyrics... There is not a poor song on the album. Buy it.' The Times '.....Sonically adventurous and almost impossibly emotionally acute' Times (Play magazine) 'This is no reclusive songster, quietly voicing his internal monologues and musings. He knows how to shout it loud' Time Out 'Only Bob Dylan comes close to such cracked passion. This Rice is pretty special' Whats on in London ‘A true talent.’ Evening Standard ‘Gorgeous, startling and fragile. Rice’s delicate, stunning songs have both mass appeal and a singular, private charm.’ Observer ‘Songwriterly, widescreen tunes of sour love and near-death, but with a musical twist of strings, occasional shouting and chanting. Mesmerising. ****’ Q ‘A young singer-songwriter capable of touching the parts most of his contemporaries will never reach.’ Daily Telegraph ‘Driven by melody, embellished with sumptuous arrangements and underpinned by emotionally acute lyrics. There is not a poor song on this album. Buy it. *****’ The Times - Play ‘Distinctive, idiosyncratic…. an absorbing debut. Some of the greatest love songs of the year. ’ Independent ‘Delicately crafted, moving tales of relationships.’ Sunday Times ‘Rice writes songs about love that even the greatest heart-merchant, Milan Kundera, would kill for.’ The Times ‘Gorgeous and understated.’ Guardian ‘A rare talent.’ Daily Mirror ‘Nothing short of a complete package of art, personality and presence on a level with Jeff Buckley or Thom Yorke.’ Los Angeles Times ‘Does this album’s title suggest a perfect circle, an orgasm, or just the void that haunts even the deepest relationships? All that and more in songs that, for all their quietness, leave a dark, lasting impression.’ Rolling Stone ‘An out-and-out gorgeous CD, so full of undiluted, unfalsified emotions that it verges on open-heart surgery.’ Newsweek ‘An album of understated gems.’ New Yorker
