"Mosaic represents his most promising effort yet, an album chock full of instantly accessible melodies and, by turns, genuine pop appeal... The fact that he’s capable of crafting angelic ballads like “Still” and “On and On,” and irresistibly upbeat entries such as “Four Leaf Clover” and “Falling Tears,” makes it clear he has the necessary skill to manipulate emotions. Likewise, his solemn and yet soaring take on Tim Buckley’s “Song to the Siren” demonstrates a certain savvy that’s all too rare, knowing how to retain the imprint of the original while interpreting it in such a way as to make it wholly his own." -- Brian Baker
People Magazine South Africa

His vocal is clear and strong which is necessary for the sonic direction he has decided to explore. The star’s sound is exciting and current and we can’t wait to hear what he has in store for us on IN TANDEM.”

The lyrics are pleasant, but what creates the mood is the sense of emotional history that Klose owns up to.” -- Lisa Torem (read full articles)
