“a voice that possesses enough unique characteristics to be his own, and one could easily throw elements of Thom Yorke and a diluted Nick Drake – particularly in phrasing aspects – as further ingredients into the mix. It’s a voice that conveys, and successfully ‘sells,’ the gamut of emotions required to ensure emotional investment from the listener.” - Gareth Johnston
“Pope is in rarefied air; he’s an under-the-radar artist with a fully developed sound, a clear sonic vision” - Ben Coley
“Take the enthralling swoop of Jeff Buckley, add a dab of The Tallest Man On Earth’s intricate guitarwork, then tinge with a smidgeon of Mogwai, and you might have an idea of Will Pope.” - Nicole Mendez
