“Neema honours the customs and culture of the Wekweètì community in this exquisitely told story about finding strength, healing, and acceptance. The vivid sensory details allow the reader to touch, taste, and feel the unique aspects of this journey to Behchoko. This is a must read for young readers!”

“As a person born and raised right on the land, Journal of a Travelling Girl rings as true to me as the blue skies and open land Nadine Neema so lovingly recounts. Using her truth-filled voice, she brings forth and carries her own impressions of how it is for the youth to return to, and eventually take to, their traditional lands, understood as only the Elders and Tłı̨chǫ ancestors have from time immemorial.”

“Neema this inspiring «renaissance woman» multilingual globetrotter whose talents are as diversified as they are plentiful.” Le Magazine Son et Image, Montreal “This fourth album of Neema is golden…and everything flows from the source.”

“Shining brightly…meeting with Neema to discuss her new live opus is the most heart-lifting experience I’ve lived in a long time”

“Neema is very much of this world…a heart-on-sleeve artist at ease with herself and, more impressive yet, with multiple languages.”

"Canadian singer Neema woos German music fans on European tour"

"on stage she’s got a tremendously calming presence which, combined with her dreamy vocal, makes watching her a bit of a spellbinding experience.Certainly the audience tonight were unusually attentive, gently lulled by track after harmonious track...a beautiful evening of music from an equally beautiful soul."

"That Leonard Cohen thinks enough of Neema to be one of the producers on her debut album is impressive, but not half as much as the songs she’s assembled here. A gifted wordsmith, this native Montrealer knows how to take songs about falling in love...and make them feel every bit as special as falling feels to young lovers. But what really makes this special is that the settings are as thoughtful and detailed as the songs they adorn. A stunner."

“Montreal's Neema is a rare jewel in the Canadian music scene.”

“In many ways Neema is Cohen’s musical heir. Her music is elegant but restrained, giving prominence to the poetic lyrics…her music, however, is ultimately very much her own.”

“It takes something special to stand out from the wealth of acoustifolk. Neema certainly has that something, as far as I'm concerned.”

“Neema’s songs are emotionally evocative and her lyrics are insightful studies on human behavior.”

“In a world that's jammed with a depressing amount of cloy and redundant solo female acts, Neema restores the faith that yes, it can be done right.”

“There's an innocence in Neema's music that blankets you like the feeling you get moments after an afternoon rain shower. That breath of fresh air. That cool sensation from a slight breeze on your skin. It's as though the rain has just washed all your troubles away. And it's a moment you wish could last forever. Now, if you can capture all that and put it to music, that's what Neema's music would sound like.”

“a pristine album of folk music with some poppy world-beat shadings, none of which takes the focus off of Neema's dulcet vocals and poetic musings. She even makes "Romeo & Juliet," Dire Straits' underrated tale of romance, so convincingly her own that many have assumed she wrote it.”

“Neema is a Montreal based folk singer/poet/storyteller with considerable talent…Watching You Think is an excellent and even literary album.”

“Romance practically gushes out from the notes and words of Montreal’s Neema…there’s an infectious joie de vivre mixed with more philosophical observations about desire and devotion on her second album, Watching You Think, with the emotions becoming characters themselves within the songs.”

“Cohen helped Neema to develop the striking lyrical palette that she combines with her gorgeous, wafting voice and folk and world instrumentation”
