Amazon.co.uk Review
After two successful EP's and a jaunt in 2004 singing with Zero 7 (she was the voice behind "Home") Danish singer/songwriter Tina Dico now releases her own debut album. Titled In The Red, the project has been produced by Chris Potter (The Verve, Blur, Richard Ashcroft) who provides a well-polished sheen, ensuring the album is accessible and immediate. Dico's songs are already easy to like though. She breathes her strong vocals over tracks that tend towards the folk-pop realm, first single from the album, "Warm Sand' (culled from her 2004 Far EP) being a good example of her approach. Most of the tracks here are radio-friendly love songs that glow with Potter's lush orchestral instrumentation, combined with the occasional melancholic reverie. Songs such as "Room With A View" offer languorous acoustic moods, while opening gambit "Losing" combines downbeat verses with a catchy chorus. It might not have the same `chill-out' credentials as Zero 7, but In The Red is a luxuriant listen all the same.--Paul Sullivan

Just Buy It... July 5, 2007
Dr. Iain Gartshore (Highlands, Scotland)
I came to this album as all the others above did. I had never heard her name before but knew the voice from Zero7. I would suggest that if you are remotely intruiged by why we have all rated this so highly then you should order this and prepare for a treat. I cannot understand why this never made it huge, especially when there are so many poor albums selling big numbers. Do yourself a favour and order this. You won't regret it.

Tina Dico is best known as a vocalist with Zero 7. Now she shows what a great talent she is by writing a superb album which literally grows on you with every listen.Every track is excellent although my favourite is 'One'.A follow up album is promised for next year and when you buy Red you will definitely want the next one.A DVD of Tina in concert is also available if you search for it and is also worth buying. Great music!

She was always a singer songwriter in her own right from a young age, winning numerous awards in her home country. Zero 7 were given an excellent contribution from this artist and with this her first full length studio album in the UK she has demonstrated continued imaginative creativity. Her voice itself makes each song distinctive and Warm Sand was always going to be a winner. Creating imagery with words it what she does best.
Tina, I'm so glad I found you June 4, 2006

Aah, Tina Dico. Where have you been all my life?
I'd had this artist suggested to me by the Music Genome Project based on other styles of music I liked. I played a gamble and bought this CD, and I have been totally taken a-back by how impressive it is.
This is a calm and relaxing CD, one which I could listen to over and over again. I find it really quite strange that I'd never heard any of these songs before, going by how nice they all are. How can such talent be kept hidden for so long?
In my opinion, if you like artists such as Annie Lennox, Tunde, Norah Jones and Katie Melua as bigger-named examples, you will fall straight in love with Tina's pure and wholesome sound.
Favourite tracks on the CD are "The City", "Give In", "My Mirror" and "One".
Definitely Not "Your Waste Of Time" March 29, 2006

Tina has a rare, exceptional talent, and as has been said, there will be at least one stand-out track on this album that touches you.
I prefer the version of "Warm Sand" from "Far", but my favourite is another re-worked track "My Mirror". The title track is sublime too.Unfortunatley, the tracks aren't "poppy" enough for our blinkered radio stations to play during peak listening times, but hopefully those alrady in the know will pass on the torch. Apart from "Far", make sure you find time to search for her other albums, "Fuel" & "Notes". You won't be disappointed.
