Reviews of Sielesâlt (‘Soul Salt’)

“Laverman seems utterly at home with the fado singer’s melancholy.” - Ton Maas, Volkskrant

“As one listens to her flexible, rich and pure voice, nothing seems more appealing than to be steeped in sadness and wander through solitary, black nights.” - Oene W. Nijdam, Leeuwarder Courant

“Supported by an ensemble, Laverman gave her magnificent rendering of various Frisian translations of poems by the most famous Frisian poet of all time: Jan Jacob Slauerhoff.” - Ward Wijndelts, NRC Handelsblad

“She knows how to bend her beautiful voice to every nuance, and her limber sound embellishments are not a trick, but expressions of passion.” - Rennie Veenstra, Nieuwe Dockumer Courant
