‘Martha D Lewis is a woman with something to say, and a powerful way of saying it. Well worth your attention and your pocket money.”
JazzWise review June 2022
‘A deeply personal listen that embraces folk, pop, jazz and blues ideas, Martha D. Lewis showcases an immense amount of grace and skill across these 11 tracks. All That You See makes for a lyrically relevant and musically adventurous 6th album.”
Takes Effect July 2022
“Martha D. Lewis spreads her powerful vibes on the airwaves with her jazzy-blues anthem Liars Club. With haunting lyrics and captivating performance, Lewis brings light to the destructive power of greed. An emotional gem that inspires, motivates, and reminds us that there is always hope.”

“ [Dawn is].. the perfect mix of singer-songwriter and jazz. “
Sandy Shore, Founder of smoothjazz.com
“Superb song writing, profound lyrics, incredible musicianship from Martha D. Lewis”
DJ Ritu, A World In London
“Her full, dark voice and the accompaniment of an evident mixture of artpop, jazz bar elements, friendly soft rock and a pinch of blues feeling. Kate Bush in low pitch? Stevie Nicks as lounge – pop – chanteuse?”
Westzeit (Germany)
“.. listen to this tender record, full of vulnerable, beautiful songs and you will discover a great singer who, surrounded by competent musicians, gives an insight into the vulnerable sides of her own life but at the same time also shows herself to be combative and encourages to embrace the real, pure life with all its emotions and to experience it to the fullest.”
Rootstime (Germany)
‘A distinctly live wire of musical independence and formidable voice…
Lewis has a yearning upturn to her voice to go with its majestic and clamorous power….”
John Fordham, The Guardian
