"TOP TEN VOCAL ALBUMS OF 2008"
- Talkin' Broadway

"BEST MALE DEBUT 2008"
- Cabaret Hotline

"This album is too good to be simply played in the background..." - The Stage (UK)

"...An artist sure to become one of (LML Music's) brightest shining stars." - LAStageScene.com

"Dwayne Britton's debut CD is terrific. His vocals are expressive, emotional and beautifully sung. He has put together a marvelous collection of songs with intimate, elegant arrangements and I am delighted that his touching rendition of "Go The Distance" is among them." - David Zippel ("City of Angels," "The Woman in White" and Disney's "Hercules" & "Mulan"

"*** (out of four stars). This crooner's beautifully light tenor is built for cabarets and show tunes. . .lovely, delicate, and slightly tremulous. . .the freshest interpretations are stark readings of Annie Lennox's "Why" and, especially, Tori Amos's "Baker Baker." - Frontiers Magazine

"Please thank Mr. Britton for his excellent rendition of my song, "More Than This..." - Stephen Schwartz (Academy Award Winning Composer of "Wicked," "Godspell" & "Pippin,")

"I can understand why Stephen Schwartz, when he first spoke to me about (Dwayne Britton), was reaching for superlatives to describe (his) talent. I've played "More Than This" for many, many friends and visitors and have created, I hope, a few more fans to add to (his) legions. Of which I am one." - Dean Pitchford: "Fame," "Footloose"

"Britton's delivery is precise and powerful, as best exemplified in his winning rendition of Tori Amos' "Baker Baker." - OUT.com

"We were honored to have "Run Away With Me" included on Dwayne Britton's debut album . . . Mr. Britton's intimate, heartfelt performances are young and fresh, and imbued with his own sense of style and personality. We can't wait to hear what comes next." - Kait Kerrigan and Brian Lowdermilk ("The Unauthorized Biography of Samantha Brown")

"Dwayne Britton's self-titled debut is a wonderful collection that compliments Mr Britton's expressive and heartfelt delivery on each song . . . I can only look forward to hearing what songs he compiles for the next chapter." - Scott Alan ("Piece")

"...A solid solo debut." - New England Blade

"Dwayne's interpretations come out as communicative rather than navel-gazing self-involvement... He sounds equally convincing on songs that hark back to simple child-friendly innocence and hope, connecting to "The Rainbow Connection" from The Muppet Movie, and to the more complex, like the very grown-up "Baker Baker" by Tori Amos.... Sincerity is the key word here all around, but it isn't insincere sincerity that feels like artificial sweetener... "An intimate introspection... an impressive first album." - Talkin Broadway

"It's really just this simple: when Dwayne Britton opens his mouth to sing, he also opens up his heart. . .A truly disarming manner, optimism, and bubbly enthusiasm for the songs were endearing. Dwayne's focused, intent, nuanced interpretations of lyrics revealed a thoughtful, convincing actor who can find the intimate cabaret communication quotient in a pop song. Comic relief leavened things. The focus: selections from his exquisite self-titled CD (label: LML Music) — songs like "Why" (wow!) and "Pure Imagination" (his sweetly unspoiled sense of awe could make you believe in Santa Claus — or even true love). . . .The mix: down-to-earth personality and heavenly voice: ideal!" - Cabaret Scenes

"Britton exudes like-ability. . ."
- The Press Enterprise
