“Taylor Swift isn’t the only songwriter who can turn heartbreak into a catchy chorus or biting bridge. Finn O’Sullivan has the same sensibilities.”

-Michael Major, Music Times Magazine

“Finn’s songs to date have struck a fine balance between youthful innocence and exuberance, with a savantish wit, lyricism and songcraft…..Regardless of the complexity or spareness of the arrangements, the perplexing, seemingly effortless tunefulness, melodies, and catchy choruses in every song will remain with you long after you’ve stopped listening.”

-John Dioso, former Deputy Managing Editor, Rolling Stone Magazine, and Editor, Rolling Stone: The Beatles’ 100 Greatest Songs, on When the Power Comes Back On (EP, 2020)

“You’re a badass.”

-Langhorne Slim, after sharing the mic on “Sea of Love”

“Indie-pop singer-songwriter Finn O’Sullivan’s songs are so dreamy, they could score a wedding or a rom-com.”

-Katrina Leibee, Denver Westword

“Like excerpts from a diary, these songs are confessionals from an artist who uses music for her expressions. Deeply reverberating, they will transport you from your everyday furnishings into the realm of the extraordinary.”

- My Nguyen, Divide and Conquer, on When the Power Comes Back On (EP, 2020)

“Hi. My name Drake. I thought you were really cute and talented and I didn’t want to miss giving you my number.”

“What a sweet freaking find. Great indie/folk pop song structures. Like if Laura Veirs and Taylor Swift had a lovechild. Songs that make you feel good while spacing out into a kind of soul-replenishing reflection.”

-Jeremy Steward, finnfan, on These Days (EP, 2021)

“Total bop. Love the song, love the artwork, love how the lyrics move with the music. I'm gonna go paint my nails after I finish dancing.”

-Finn’s mom, on “winner, baby”

“Finn’s ability to combine lyrics with the melody and instruments all speaking to the same meaning really stands out to me. And then her vocal tone gives a vulnerable over-the-phone, conversational vibe. Top that off with the title and emotion of the song reflecting the events of this last year and some Beatles-y ‘Love Me Do’-type harmonica thrown in, and we’re firing on all cylinders. It’s a truly fantastic composition.”

-Owen Kortz, award-winning singer-songwriter, on “When the Power Comes Back On”

“Finn’s songs have a natural flow, and are well-crafted. Some songs just stick in my ears for days, but they are always welcome there.”

-Jon Stubbs, Hamster Theatre

“Finn's song rose to the top with an infectious, very accessible melody and evocative lyrics. It's got an easy style that obviously appealed to the judges as the song made its way through a highly competitive field."

-Brian Rothschild, John Lennon Songwriting Contest co-founder, on “When the Power Comes Back On”
