Music commentators are unanimous in their praise.

“One of the most stylistically flexible pianists around, with a marvellous, slightly husky singing voice" — The Observer

"A powerful, soul-inflected performer with an Ella Fitzgerald-like improv athleticism and an emotional frankness on ballads" — The Guardian

Her first four albums all enjoyed four-starred reviews, and “Ballads” received ***** from Jazz Journal.

"Seaside", her last album, won CD of the year at the 2015 British Jazz awards.

A winner of the British Jazz and Parliamentary Jazz Awards she received the 2016 Gold award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors

“Transcendent vocal and piano technique, with heart stopping emotion and soul bearing power."- Peter Quinn Jazzwise

London born and Hastings raised, award-winning singer-pianist Liane Carroll is one of the UK's greatest musical treasures.

A soulful, emotive singer, she is capable of reducing listeners to tears with her heart-breaking ability to inhabit a lyric or of making an audience jump for joy with her breath-taking vocal virtuosity.

What really makes Carroll stand out however is the way that she delivers every song as though she wrote it. A classically trained pianist since she was three, she possesses a true musicality that lifts her interpretations into the realms of art in their own right and to hear her sing even the best known standard or the most hackneyed pop song is to hear that song afresh.
