SON LITTLE - 'SON LITTLE' (2015)
- “a future classic soul missive from the heart of a modern soul man." 9/10 DJ Mag (UK)
- “Son has the panache of this season’s retro soul man Leon Bridges but adds contemporary and personal touches.” Daily Mirror (UK)
- “A formidable talent” 4/5 The Independent (UK)
- “His voice of loss is shrouded in inventive production: sepulchral, soulful and head-noddingly cool.” 8/10 Uncut (UK)
- “Aaron Livingston has worked with The Roots and RJD2, and like those acts he crosses genres and is as likely to reference 70’s hard rock as reggae or a soul or blues gem.” 3/5 Mojo (UK)
- "Gospel bleeds into hip-hop, electronica tussles with soul, and the voice presiding over it all delivers street-poet couplets alternately solemn, sad and strange." 8/10 Classic Rock (UK)
- "Son Little's debut is a glorious eclectic affair that mashes R&B, Gospel and Soul with Rock and Blues". - Diva (UK)
- “With the EP ‘Things I Forgot’ Son Little had already submitted a great first and then produced the great Soul-Dame Mavis Staples’ EP ‘Your Good Fortune’. But that Aaron Livingstone was about to knock out such a strong debut, was not foreseeable.” DPA-Info (DE)

- “Son Little speaks to us in riddles and we really like it.” 4/5 Tip Berling (DE)
- “A vital connection of Soul, R&B, Gospel, Electro and Pop –not always without a hint of Retro. But the Bobby-Bland-meets-Gnarls-Barkley-Track “Your Love Will Blow Me Away When My Heart Aches“ alone, is worth the listen.“ Rolling Stone 3/5 (DE)
- - “A wonderfully diverse soul album.” OOR Magazine (NL)
- “Son Little is a musician that exceeds genres and lets many different musical influences shine through his songs.” Platomania (NL)
- “a mixture of sounds that continues to intrigue” 3voor12 (NL)
- “At the second spin ‘Son Little’ already sounds recognizable and when listening to it for the tenth time there is still much to discover.” 4/5 NRC Handelsblad (NL)
- “We travel through time and the USA when listening to what Son Little presents us. One moment we’re on the riverbank of the Mississippi and a moment later you find yourself in a dark place in Detroit. All the while the music sounds sincere and never farfetched.” 4.5/5 Written In Music (NL)
- “a pleasant schizophrenic mixture of blues, triphop, soul and garage rock” - 3/5 Lust For Life (NL)
- Son Little is not afraid to throw different colors on the canvas and the result is an interesting take on modern R 'n B.” 5/6 Gaffa (DK)
