REVIEWS

“The music video itself, directed by filmmaker Rehan Mudannayake, is a leap forward for the Sri Lankan scene, as it subtly and delicately presents a woman owning her body, her sensuality and presence in a way that we have not seen before. In a scene known for sensationalizing and hypersexualizing women through the male gaze, this is an important feminist act of resistance and reclamation.” - Imaad Majeed, Beehype

“In a commanding voice that also offers solace and calm, Sri Lankan artist Q aka Francesca Mudannayake’s debut EP Hysteria is everything you want to hear in music of empowerment. Her song “Took It To The River,” produced by Dinuka Jaysooriya and accompanied with a slick music video, ponders a friends-with-benefits situation, being both bold and vulnerable at once." - Anurag Tagat, Rolling Stone India
