"Charmaine Clamor spins a web of magic every time she sings. Her expressive voice lets the words breathe and throb as she captures the essence of the lyrics and brings them to life. Clamor is one of the finest singers to come around in a long time."
-- Jerry D'Souza, ALL ABOUT JAZZ

"Flippin' Out marks further proof that Clamor will be the first great Filipina jazz singer. This album is a mold-shattering breakthrough that will be claimed a classic in years to come."
-- A. Scott Galloway, URBAN NETWORK

"Tearing up the jazz club scene recently has been Charmaine Clamor (pictured here), whose new recording Flippin' Out (FreeHam) is a fluid nod both to her jazz chops and to her Filipino heritage. It's quite a recording, as she moves effortlessly between the ultrasensuous and the ultrarhythmic, between smoke and fire."
-- Duncan Christy, DELTA SKY

"This Filipina jazz singer exhibits a very pure talent. The ability to express much more than just a tune is unique. Clamor sings to times, feelings, and purpose. A superb performance from a multi-talented gem!"
-- Karl Stober, EJAZZ NEWS

"That Charmaine Clamor is as drop-dead gorgeous as Nancy Wilson or Lena Horne is a nice bonus, but beside the point. What really matters is that Clamor's vocals are a sumptuously elegant blend of silk and satin, trimmed with gutsy self-possession. Clamor establishes herself as a dynamic new compass point in world music."
