“Du har hele pakken. Du formår at kombinere noget, der er lige så stort, som når Adele laver sine ballader, og lige så dansabelt som Rihanna, når hun laver sine hits. Du blander de to ting sammen, så det giver mening, og det er megafedt. Du har været vildt overbevisende hver eneste gang. Man får lyst til at danse og samtidig lytte til, hvad det er for en historie, du fortæller", lød det fra Pelle Peter Jensen
