" …her range and strength are that of a soul belter's, though her tone comes closer to the ingenues of classic pop like
Feist and Lykke Li."
- Los Angeles Times, Ann Powers
"…she draws from many muses at once, and the result sounds like a one-woman wonder."
- NPR, Song Of The Day
Street Parade, reflects a dreamy Nordic pop sensibility firmly rooted and influenced by the warm gospel and soul sounds that drew the artist to New Orleans in the first place. The title track, "Street Parade," opens the record with resounding vocals rising over a regimental drum-line, testifying to the catharsis and impermanence of the carnival. The focus then draws back cinematically into the rush of the parade as the piano fades on "Injuns," and Theresa's voice bounds over a heart-quickening percussion of handclaps, drumsticks and thrumming base. Theresa's voice plays from a tongue-in-cheek 60s standard to a subtle snarl on the nocturnal brass breakdown of "Fiya's Gone." "What Comes Next" opens with a bright horn melody and mighty drum cadence leading into a powerful chorus on which Theresa is joined by

Peter Bjorn and John.
