"Her voice is enchanting ... Brooke has MTV potential: She has the pipes, the look and the mysterious, angst-ridden lyrics."

".. a creator of 'progressive rock poetry' whose work drips with passion and true artistry. Her voice is strong and vibrant.."
Album Description
"Paper Doll" is a commentary on the state of women in America, and seems to be a tug-of-war between two factions: the woman who has found her voice, and the woman who is abused by men. Perhaps the most marketable cut is "You Don't Know Me Now," a rhythmic, catchy cut about a woman who has found inner strength: "You don't know me now/and you would kill to know how/ I found my voice/I found my high/You take your path/I'll take the sky." The most haunting song, however, is "Pretty Girls Should," about child sexual abuse: "She went to the doctor for her pain/ He gave her a medicine called shame/She was 9 years old/Now who's to blame?/Put your panties on child and walk away/Try and be good today." Brooke shows poetic sophistication and a dark or, perhaps more accurately, critical view of the world around her." (quoted from Music Mag Review)
