“She Fell From the Sky is "a high-concept, lush and gorgeous album that's full of layered levels of storytelling." CBC Reclaimed host Jarrett Martineau
“The 11 tracks of She Fell From The Sky take us on this journey, as only Simpson can guide us. Through them, the emotional core of every second reverberates through the body, the unwavering strength of Simpson’s voice giving breath to Sky Woman’s story. Simpson sings like no other, their voice like the wind in the trees rising from your feet and her guitar follows like an extension of her body.” Niko Stratis
