Rainbow Rodeo: “Rita de los Angeles has been a fierce advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights, splitting her time between California and Germany. It’s that perspective of how things could be – and how things are changing, that gives De los Angeles unique insight into queer country music. https://rainbowrodeomag.com/premiere-rita-de-los-angeles-teaches-you-how-to-keep-to-myself/
Edgar Allen Poets: “Rita De Los Angeles captures the spirit of Janice Joplin.”
European Indie Music Network: “Traveling Soul” is an upbeat yet reflective country-folk/Americana track. Its emotional core is rooted in my life as a queer woman and the daughter of immigrants from Cairo — a background that led to a lifelong struggle with identity and belonging. That “traveling soul” narrative continued later in life when, as a first-generation American, I made the midlife decision to immigrate to Germany.” 2026/02/14/formula-indie-sessions-_-interview-rita-de-los-angeles/
Indieoclock.com says “‘Home Is Where The Heart Is’… lively, fun, relaxed in its feel, shaking us up and making us sing along to the chorus.”
TheOtherSideReviews.com says “”Home Is Where The Heart Is,” a traditional country love song flecked with pop and wrapped in an indie-pop haze. Soft, soothing and simplistic, the acoustic-inspired track is a laidback melody – easy to listen to and sing along. Yet, while the minimalist combination of guitars and percussion is smile-inducing, there is a kaleidoscopic poignancy lingering in the moving melody.”
Country Music UK: “Inspired by her sister’s near-death experience from domestic violence, ‘Shade of Blue’ reflects the constant bruises and emotional pain of living with abuse.”
Lost In The Manor: “Rita’s gentle voice almost hugs you with the speakers.”
