Arta continues to shine as one of jazz’s most expressive and boundary-pushing voices.  — Neon Jazz, Joe Dimino

The Latvian-born artist has crafted a sound niche reflective of her journeys, both physical and emotional. Hope, wanderlust, and self-reflection emerge as raw materials for carefully sculpted compositions; her lyrics brim with intimacy.  — Jazz Speaks, Stephanie Jones

In her music, you can hear warmth, gratitude, and compassion, as well as crystal-clear intention and focus. —  Jazz Speaks, Noah Fishman

Beyond her vocal artistry, Jēkabsone is a perceptive composer and curator, developing interdisciplinary projects that expand across style, media, and time period. — Jazz Speaks, Kevin Laskey

She is a beauty on stage, but in a very natural way, honest and playful – totally into the music; – let’s call her Arta Sunshine Jēkabsone.  — Montreux Jazz Shure Voice Competition diaries, Sabine Kühlich

Arta pārsteidz ar savu netradicionālo, netipisko džeza dziedājumu un pieeju mūzikai, ar dažāda veida muzikālo pieredžu apvienojumu gaišā interpretācijā, džezā ieviešot arī latvisku līniju. — LSM, Muzikoloģe, Daina Markova

“From the very first notes, Jēkabsone’s voice anchors the listener — warm, pure, and full of quiet strength. She doesn’t perform these songs so much as embody them… There’s something transcendent about hearing her glide between Latvian lyrics and spontaneous melodic phrasing, bridging the sacred and the contemporary in a way that feels both reverent and daring.”  — Odyssey Magazine, review bu IAIN JOHNSON

“Unfurling a magical, hypnotic aural universe, New York-based jazz vocalist and composer Arta Jēkabsone builds an aural experience that’s incredibly heartwarming and euphoric… Threading the fine line between folk and jazz sensibility, ‘Dziesmu Kamoliņš (Garland of Songs)’ packs eleven wondrous and elegant pieces… with a global appeal.”  — Mesmerized, review by Gabriel Mazza
