'Burn's' grey cover photo of Venessa's fringe-covered face first appeared on a huge billboard on a Cape Town highway at the same time as behind it, a massive fire swept across Table Mountain, creating a powerful backdrop and unintentional "brand" awareness. These ten original ballads introduced us to an impressive new singer, songwriter and pianist. Dark and exquisitely broody, these songs swirl around in the mind and tingle in hidden recesses of the brain, playing symphonic bedsit rock on your heartstrings. Songs like, 'Fragile', 'Losing Control', 'With You' and 'Emptiness High' followed each other onto the radio and into the charts. But, singles aside, this 'Glorious Gem' of an album, makes it clear that we have a major new talent on our hands. And thanks to her emotive piano playing, 'Burn' qualifies as our 'Unplucked' album of the year.
-- Stephen Segerman, SA Rock Digest/SAfm, December 2001
