“Coco’s Lunch remains one of the most inspirational and culturally compelling A Cappella groups in the world, reflecting the better society that awaits us all if we lean into harmony.”

“A Cappella like you’ve never heard it before…”

“Coco’s Lunch is living proof that the world’s first instrument – the human voice – is still the finest and most versatile…As singers they prove that the voice has no bounds…”

“Beautiful music for an extraordinary year.”

“A WORK OF ART... A Cappella at its finest”

“CELESTIAL...SPIRITUAL...”

“I put [Other Plans] on and straight away I knew it was a winner.”

“Rhythmic risk-taking, soaring melodies and the harmonic interplay of voices of different timbres, all play their part in producing exciting, improvised music. Created during Melbourne’s COVID-19 lockdown last year, the album succeeds in bringing ‘healing, light and beauty’ to the world.”

“A powerhouse… ”

“Coco’s Lunch is my favourite A Cappella group. A few years ago when I directed the Adelaide International Cabaret Festival I invited them to perform and they were so successful I basked in their reflected glory. Their delectable repertoire is composed and arranged by them and gloriously performed on this new album. They are better than ever.”

“The sound of female acapella group Coco’s Lunch in their new single Other Plans fits into the realm of the angelic... musical bliss.”

“It was a magical evening. Four women formed a line across the stage - all equal. Then they filled our Pavilion with extraordinary rhythms, tight harmonies embellished with vocal solo layers. They wove ever more complex patterns seemingly effortlessly. Many voices at times seemed like one and at other times like many many more. We cannot wait to have them back.”

“Melbourne’s magical purveyors of the a cappella art...”

“Hooray for this new album by Coco’s Lunch! I fell in love with ‘Other Plans’, so am happy now to see it again, with seven more tracks, each one distinctive, every one a winner. In what I see as a golden age of vocal consort music, Coco’s Lunch is among the champions, unique in the scope of their songs and in the way they voice them.”

“While Lisa Young weaves intricate konnakol throughout the vivifying melodies, the harmony and sweetness of the voices is just compelling. Most admirable for a South Indian percussionist is the perfect vocabulary of konnakol.”

“Prodigiously talented, both individually and as an ensemble…”

“Delivering a feast of a capella goodness, the five stunning voices of Coco’s Lunch relay fond travel memories with worldly beats and glimmering, jazzy harmonies to sultry perfection — think a sexy Lion King soundtrack…each arrangement a celebration of the human voice — rich, intricate, and utterly captivating.”

“Stunning musicianship and wonderful joie de vivre....innovative, unexpected and so professional, how you managed without charts is beyond the imagination of a mere ‘listener’. My partner, Sophia, and I were transported, the connection of heartbeat and voice was something very special. Thank you so much.”

“Tight and soulful…sheer joy... There are no down moments – just celebrations of life, places, love and unity… A national treasure indeed…”

“One of Australia’s best exports…”

“Moving poems of freedom, love and wildness. ”

“In a word: lush...”

“As vocal improvisers Coco’s Lunch are some of the best on the international stage... a unique, world-class a cappella act who deserve copious accolades along their journey.”

“Inordinately, preposterously, almost slanderously talented.”

“Dazzling rhythms and an exotic blend of sounds and styles...(their) soul and energy will make you look at a cappella music in a whole new way.”

“A fascinating mélange of perfect, soulful vocal harmonies and abstract jazzy percussion grooves…as good as anything I have heard by Sweet Honey In The Rock.”

“A full house for Polyfollia and Coco’s Lunch: five female singers, composers and percussionists forming one of the most lively and sparkling Australian vocal groups. A really original sound and a rapturous stage presence!”

“The five girls from Australia on their first European tour shone in what was a brilliant and explosive sold out concert.”

“A New Generation of Voice...pure celebrations of the heart-stopping beauty of five voices in full flight.”

“This group of five women is a national treasure.”

“Part lullaby, part prayer, part celebration of the human voice.”

“To my amazement and joy, the concert I heard was a splendid, dynamic, polished and powerful celebration of the whole range of human emotion served up with a technical ability and stage presence that was simply astonishing… Everywhere they performed Coco’s Lunch received standing ovations and broke records for CD sales.”

“Truly inspirational!...I would have no hesitation recommending them on any stage around the world.”

“The vitality, exquisite control and deeply satisfying harmonies again demonstrate these are superb musicians. Breathing life into thoughtful lyrics, they prove the versatility of the voice...”

“Instinctive musicality, intuitive ensemble, irrepressible rhythmical vitality and impeccable intonation are their hallmarks.”

“(The audience) appreciation, demonstrated by thunderous applause was clearly self evident and lasted for several minutes. ”

“A very original and sparkling group, gifted with a breathtaking stage presence…”

“Another outstanding album…9/10. ”

“The new repertoire shines with exquisite harmonies - one of Coco’s trademarks.”

“The ultimate ear-gasm”

“The hottest ticket in town for 2-7 year olds! ”

“Coco’s Lunch incorporate such variety and quirkiness into their original music that even in recorded form their songs come across as lively and entertaining...these are clever and funny songs for children and in terms of showcasing the range of the human voice, they’re a great education. ”

“What more could a parent want from a kids CD?”

“The music is sophisticated and young at the same time; Coco’s Lunch has put together a CD for kids that won’t drive their parents to distraction, a rare pleasure.”

“…catchy, funny, original… Coco’s Lunch have a talent for crafting beautiful harmonies that possess sophistication and sass. Each track draws on a different musical influence, introducing kids to the wonders of jazz, African rhythm, swing and more. ”

“Not a typical children’s album...I’m often left behind walking like an Egyptian Pharaoh, long after the children have gone outside!”

“This CD hit the right spot with my girls, who were won over from the start by the mermaid theme and the silliness.”

“A great CD...the lyrics are funny and the rhythms catchy...its uses limited only by the listener’s imagination.”

“Clever, jazzy, catchy and fun! Check out the faux horns on the bouncy ‘Let’s Dance’, tap your feet to the rhythmic, saucy salsa tune ‘Fire’ and soaring ‘Away’ ( both with non-vocal percussion), enjoy the silly, jazzy ‘Little Miss Muffet’, the McFerrinesque ‘Nip’, and the highly instructional ‘Baby in Her Belly’. ‘I Sweep My Feet’ enters the mind of a precocious child, ‘Nowhere Train’ rolls on a vocal percussion track, and ‘Rain’ and the title tune are surreal romps. ‘Rat Trap Snap!’ is a refreshing, surprising joy.”
