The Record Tent

“I’m not going to hurt over you again.” On a classy, sassy, brassy ballroom dance number, Canada’s soon-to-break bluesy singing star puts her foot down, and then shakes it up a bit.” Brad Wheeler, The Globe And Mail

“The opening track on The Contradictor is “SK Final”, a stunning entry for new listeners into Onukwulu’s interpretation of African blues. Onukwulu’s voice is initially guided only by the spurs of percussion and the simple progression of an acoustic guitar, a method purely designed to showcase her sprightly vocals. However, the real swagger and appeal of her vocal delivery arrives when the irresistible brass kicks in. “No, I’m not gonna hurt over you again,” she croons quite seductively, aided feverishly by the brass attack of Steve Dawson, Bill Runge, and JP Carter”. Obscure Sound

“I know most of you think Amy Winehouse is the Second Coming for whatever reason, but Onukwulu actually writes more beautiful music. A fitting, exploratory follow-up to Onukwulu’s last disc. More? Yes, please” The Edmonton Sun
