“a bit ahead of the times”

SCHALL.Musikmagazin

“The human powerhouse…a good-humoured fall storm…playful, ironic, all homemade on her own label. So great!”

Brigitte Magazine

"Good mood song...with a clear voice"

Wolfgang Rumpf, best song list (about DU UND ICH)

"The pop piñata is finished... childishly cheerful... And yet Zeul gets to the heart of the matter being sharp and ironic."

Reutlinger Generalanzeiger

"Indeed also ablolutely suitable for radio."

taz
