Vivienne Aerts, who gives it a starry-eyed dryly heartfelt reading, her airy soprano relishing every syllable without a hint of pretense or being overly theatrical. - Mark Keresman, The New York Jazz Record
The album comes across like a musical mosaic, juxtaposing four “Soundscapes” with actual songs. Songs of a walk in the museum of modern art. - George Harris, Jazzweekly
Typuhthâng is a luminous, exquisitely crafted suite of music and an album on a mission. - Chris May, All about Jazz
There’s a real delight in Vivienne’s latest album – Hilary Seabrook, Harmonious World Podcast
Aerts sings in an airy soprano, clearly articulating the lyrics unpretentiously. The sound is light, flowing, at times ambient, and at others joyous, celebratory, and soothing. - Jim Hynes, Making A Scene
About the song “Silence”: built around a small string orchestra and the singer’s crystal-pure intimate voice (that puts me in mind here of the semi-legendary Patty Waters). - Mark Sampson, Sounds And Colours
...the sensual and romantic dreamscape of “A Kiss Beneath The Stars,” featuring Mody’s meditative coolness caressed by Vivienne Aerts’ heavenly, angelic voicings - Jonathan Widran, JW Vibe
This is a project album filled with wonderful sounds, tones, vocals and instrumentation. -Simon Defty, Simply Jazz Talk
Aerts is ethically grounded, and aesthetically off the wall. - Nick Hasted, JazzWise
..it is also clear that in terms of genre she is wide-ranging, innovative and sharp-witted. Her songs and music thus fall somewhere brilliant between vocal jazz, chamber music, spoken word and folk pop. The quality is evident – technically as well as artistically. And a song such as You're My Morning is beautiful, appropriate, yes, breathtaking, alluring. - Ivan Rod
