"Austin Gets bossanovafied!"
June 10, 2009 by candiceh12 - Austin Entertainment
"Having just released her third album, bossanovafied, Kristine Mills is on a roll. The brazen, blond jazz singer has sold out shows in her hometown of Houston as well as performed with the Duke Ellington Orchestra in São Paulo. This is her first album of original songs, but it won’t be her last. “I have so much more I want to do that I care to share with the world,” she says. “I don’t feel like I’ve done anything yet.” ENVY caught up with the powerhouse vocalist before her big album debut party in Austin."

Houston Press:
"Kristine Mills"
By Olivia Flores Alvarez
Published on April 28, 2009
"...Recorded in Rio de Janeiro with Brazilian pianist and collaborator Paulo Midosi, bossanovafied is polished and sophisticated from start to finish. Vocally, Mills goes from fragile, barely-there whispers to unleashed wails and, even among the uniformly excellent tunes, a few still manage to stand out..."

Beautiful, bold, and blessed with a set of killer vocal cords, Houston-based songbird Kristine Mills has the whole package. Her latest album, Bossanovafied (released tomorrow), represents a culmination of her astonishing singing and songwriting talents. Crooning soulful lyrics with a sassy, old-school flavor, Mills embraces the classic style of Bossa Nova through this intimate collection of songs."
KUHF Radio:
Eric Ladau writes, " Hello Kristine. I downloaded Bossanovafied from CD Baby and have been listening all weekend. It's fabulous - I am sitting in my chair bouncing around right now listening to it. People see me at my desk tapping away and snapping my fingers ( I forget that I'm at work). "
