Selivke contains an incredible breadth of musical and lyrical
ambition. (***** Rock’n’Reel, Issue 36, November/December 2012,

Emotionally intense dramatic singing and some really barbed difficult
stuff. Outrageous musicianship. It's mighty! (Karine Polwart, UK
leading singer-songwriter)
This is a real musical journey that takes you around the globe as it

Katarina Juvančič & Dejan Lapanja took to their
task with consummate professionalism and put in an outstanding performance. ... Juvančič
is a storyteller and dramatist who loses herself in her performance of the
characters she portrays. Lapanja similarly loses himself in a highly energetic
performance, like the Keith Moon of acoustic guitar with an infinite range of
facial expressions and poses that are individually entertaining. ... I could never
tire of watching them.(R2/Rock'n'Reel Mag, Issue 41, September/October 2013, Eddie Cooney)
As a couple, Katarina Juvančič and
Dejan Lapanja have a lot of complementary qualities. But they also
have something in common: They both can set an audience on fire. (Ann-Sofie
Öman, Swedish magazine Danstidningen @ City of Women festival)
