Ms Andersen's new album; ONCE AGAIN was recently recorded in Nashville and produced by US 16-time Grammy winner Tom Pick. The album has been very well received, attracting accolades like ...
“Connie has a rich, smooth vocal style that is warm and inviting, but she shows that she isn't afraid to tackle songs which you might not normally associate with female country artists. Together with outstanding musical backing, Once Again is an album which has a “feel good” quality to it.” Bob Anthony Junior: Editor, Country Update
“They say music feeds the soul, and Connie Kis Andersen's wonderful new album does just that. Connie infuses her music with perception, passion and the kind of emotional connection that makes you sit up, take notice and smile.” Susan Jarvis: Journalist, Capital News
