NPR - All Songs Considered - best of 2022 "(Linda) exists somewhere between the Malian singer Oumou Sangaré and the lo-fi-to-the-future beats heard on the Nyege Nyege Tapes label"

Bandcamp - best of 2022 "Combining traditional instrumentation and call-and-response vocals with sparkling synths, rapid-fire beats, and drum machine polyrhythms. Ayupuka achieves an electrifying syncretism on this album, giving Fra Fra gospel its rightful place on the global dance music stage."

The Guardian - albums of the month "An uptempo blend of choral chants and sparkling, 80s electro synths"

Le Monde "Linda Ayupuka fait du gospel façon disco au Ghana et chante son amour de Dieu sur des synthés entêtants."

Pan African Music - best fo 2022 "A mashup of gospel, disco and savannah sounds, produced with all the D.I.Y vim of Balani Show, Nyege Nyege Tapes and the Awesome Tapes roster"

Gilles Peterson, BBC 6Music - "Super interesting!"

Ghana's Linda Ayupuka performs fra fra ceremonialmusic over rapid fire tempos and hypnotic drum loopsthat reference an international palette of electronic dance styles from Malian DJ-led Balani Show street sound, electro-acholi to modern dancehall/RnB.

On God Created Everything Linda captures the rawness and immediacy of early-career recordings from the likes of Oumou Sangaré and Rokia Traoré to put herself forward as a new West African vocal talent.

Her producer Francis Ayamga (Top Link studios) is the live drummer for Ghana's King Ayisoba and produced the majority of tracks on the King's recent album for Glitterbeat and on God Created Everything he lifts Linda's vocals skywards via his playful production of laptop DJ samples and crashing drum pads.
