Outstanding. The review said, "Where she'll come on slightly too strong for some listeners is with her unflinching lyrics." Open up and listen to this CD.

Brilliant album

A stunning, unsettling cover of I'm on Fire. Swati reminds me a bit of Tori Amos, a talented musician and songwriter with a lot of passion. Tori, incidentally, has also done a beautiful cover of I'm On Fire. Also try the first three tracks and MF.

They Say All Music Guide

Swati is a New York-based singer/songwriter with a lot of style and what may be an overabundance of substance. Vocally, she’s like Sheryl Crow except snarlier. Musically, she’s as captivating as she is fierce — strap a guitar on her and she comes alive, coaxing out sounds that rate a 50-50 chance of being soothing or unsettling. Where she’ll come on slightly too strong for some listeners is with her unflinching lyrics: Small Gods details deep, dark feelings of emptiness (“MF”), loneliness (“Blackjack”), and chemically enhanced freakishness (“Stay”). Nowhere does it stint on profanity. For all its Courtney Love- and Ani DiFranco-reminiscent anger and anguish laid bare, the overall vibe of Small Gods isn’t a crushing one — nobody with an ear for off-the-hook honesty will be eager to walk away from it. What Swati may lack in emotional stability, she makes up for on Small Gods in talent. – Tammy La Gorce
