BBC Introducing (Shereen Cutty, Phoebe Inglis-Holmes)
- "A little hopeful, yet heartbreaking anthem from Adeline Um, that was called 'Take The Time To Grow.' I feel like I'm watching a romantic movie and the lead characters are getting ready for their wedding day. It is giving me young Taylor Swift meets Christina Perri kind of vibe. And that track is definitely an exclusive preview as it isn't coming out until April. But Adeline did release a single 'A Little Overwhelmed' back in January this year so you can check that out if you need to need to hear more of her right now. But please do not miss the dance tracks that she has guest vocals on either. They continue to rack up literally millions of streams online."
- "That was the gorgeous vocals from Scottish based Korean singer songwriter Adeline Um, from her single ‘distancing.’ It’s a gorgeous piano pop tune, that features those heart wrenching lyrics that explore the difficulty of leaving a manipulative friendship, and it’s powerful and full of emotion from the get go. I actually feel a little bit like I’ve been transported into a Disney movie, and my teen self is thanking Adeline um for that song, because you’ve hit some emotions girl for real, you hit some emotions!"
Amazing Radio (Jim Gellatly)
- "Making some divine music, therefore, I'm certainly claiming her for Scotland"
BBC Scotland (Roddy Hart)
