HALORADIO.com, Holland, September 2002 ,  review of Ike Moriz's 'Fall Into the Sun' (EP/single, London, UK): "I've listened to the samples on the website and I must say you  remind me somewhat of David Bowie and Suede. Normally I don't like to put a label on music or try to compare artists with each other, but these are not the least ones to be compared with."

Indiepop Spinzone, Pennsylvania, USA, Sept 2002 : Review of 'Fall Into the Sun' (Ike Moriz's debut EP/single, Mosquito Records London): Hip-ometer Rating ~ 9  Ike Moriz - "Fall Into the Sun EP"  Our Ike here is another bloke from South Africa and a friend of Dale Olivier who pointed him in my direction, whereupon he sent me this EP. He has been in a few other bands in and around Europe, but this is his first attempt at a solo career. (and it is a self released effort) The title track is very unusual in that it seems to tread in very modern waters while retaining many elements of 70's solo styling. He has quite an articulate voice and isn't afraid to use it, in almost a Bowie-esque way but with far more range. That was what probably made me unsure of this at first, as that isn't the kind of thing many can do so you don't exactly hear it often.

Matchbox Recordings, London, UK, 01.09.02, review of Ike Moriz's debut single/EP 'Fall Into the Sun' (Mosquito Records London): New solo artist IKE MORIZ releases this great new three track EP. "Fall Into The Sun" EP was produced at  Tin Pan Alley studios by Steve Kent, who has previously worked  with George Michael. Drawn to Ike’s surprising mix of enigmatic  lyrics and catchy melodies, Steve strengthened this paradox  by adding deceptively simple guitar hooks. Based in London, Ike is of South African/German descent. His new style has emerged from his diverse musical experiences, fronting bands in Cape Town, Rotterdam and Hamburg, usually performing his own material. This EP features the title track " Fall into the sun" with it's extremely catchy and bright chorus and Bowie/Suede Esq. feel. Expect loads of falsetto and heartfelt vocals and lyrics from this new class A entertainer. For full tracklisting click above.
