“Fate deals Calgary songwriter Danielle French a winning hand for latest album In the case of Calgary musician Danielle French, that place was in a motel in the small town of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin of all places. And every day and in many ways, she’s thankful for what fate had in store once she got there. “It’s certainly changed my life as a writer,” French says, while sitting in Inglewood pub Swans. As to what got her there, well, a little bit of backstory is required... ”

“Danielle French - Miss Scarlett & The Madmen: Dark Love Songs 7 out of 10 stars- "A fine set of unsettling folk reveries." ”

“Dark Desire- A little bit of torch, a dash a tin pan alley and a polychromatic splash of Nick Cave-style backroads goth, and perhaps we're starting to get close to what Danielle French is trying to do here. ”

“Have you ever seen the movie Dusk till Dawn? Quentin Tarantino didn’t know the perfect soundtrack for this movie would come out in 2016. There are too many reasons to point out why I think this music mimics that movie from the imagery to the tone. Luckily, this album does not need a movie to be throughly enjoyed.​”
