"Tuesday Morning" is like a cocktail of honey and morning dew, discovering new flavors, new references and musical allusions again and again. Boldly changing her tune, Rykarda created perhaps her most vital album, resisting pop music trends, looking contentedly in a completely different direction.”

“The video is an animated, psychedelic, mischievous, trippy, fun ride! Which goes perfectly with the song’s hypnotic, rhythmic beat, guitar riff and Rykarda’s penetrating vocals.”

”"Get Down With Your Bad Self", séduit avec son mélange enivrant de rock lounge sombre et d'élégance des années 60. Plongez dans sa musique unique et captivante”
Yellow Radio, Greece >
”Ένα υπέροχο μουσικό κομμάτι που μας έχει συνεπάρει ο αβίαστος, ανεπιτήδευτος ρυθμός και τα βαθιά, γεμάτα συναίσθημα φωνητικά της Rykarda σκίζουν το σκοτάδι που μας περικυκλώνει.”
Culture Addict, Album Review, France >
La lumière a fini par triompher sur les ténèbres, non pas que les couleurs vivaces des pochettes des précédents albums n’aient trahi le spleen caractéristique de Rykarda Parasol, mais dans ce décorum atemporel, les symboles semblent figés et sous ce vernis esthétisé, les mots résonnent encore comme des confidences.
Cheek and Choice, Hungary >
”Elegánsan hűvös pszichedelikus pop” (elegantly cool psychedelic pop)
Hot Lunch Music >
”Rykarda Parasol’s “Above It All” is a psych rock that is trippy and driving and sexy. It reminds me of fun-colored clothing, cool sunglasses, and a dance party where everyone is cutting loose. “Above it All” is the psych garage rock we all wish we were making”

“A genuine musical force in her own right. She’s just what I need.” – San Francisco Bay Gaurdian”

“Instinct, passion, breaking the constraints and, at the same time, destruction. “Istinto, passione, rottura dei vincoli e, allo stesso tempo, distruzione. Sono questi gli elementi sui quali fa leva la Parasol per illuminare The color of destruction attingendo parole ed emozioni dalla propria errabonda filosofia di vita” - Distorsioni (IT)”
