EARLY PRAISE FOR “HUMAN AS I CAME”

“Efron’s technique, like always, is top notch as she marries piano pop and jazz styles on a record that is at times easy like Sunday morning and at other times strikingly emotional and raw.“
— Jim Harrington, The Mercury News

“Grooving, affectionate, and expansive. You’ll love it if you enjoy jazz… For creatives, by creatives, with no slack in the story.”
— Kelsey Marlett, Two Story Melody

“Brilliant songwriting, illuminated by an exquisite, expressive voice, makes Rachel Efron's latest album a must-hear experience. This is marvelously melodic alternative pop with jazz and classical colors adding to a captivating palette. Efron's material gracefully glides from sensitive to sensual to searing.”
— Paul Freeman, Pop Culture Classics

“With a jazz foundation, the album is moody and introspective, tinged with longing, adventure and tenderness. The first single is the album-opening “I Changed My Mind, I Want You,” a sultry tune oozing with the mystery of horns and Efron’s shimmering vocals. “Your Money Costs Too Much” swirls in slow spirals with angsty desire and the lines: “Train me on your cruelty/Hit with the absence of your touch/More air for you when I enter the room/Your loving costs too much.”
— Aimsel Ponti, Portland Press Herald

“Human As I Came drawn on jazz, folk, and pop influences to create just the right balance of the elements. Ms. Efron’s songs are articulate lyrically but relatable”
— George Graham, WVIA-FM

“A beautifully recorded album with finely crafted, adventurous songwriting… On board are an impressive list of players… Props to everyone who worked on this album – exceptional!”
— Adam Theis, Jazz Mafia

“These eleven songs showcase Rachel’s stellar songwriting; and her sweet vocals and passionate piano playing.”
— A.J. Wachtel, Music Journalist
