2020 Snowflake Review (see full here) 

"A defiant answer (and melodic & catchy defiance is a key Chessi hallmark) to this cynical & bitter defilement of the word, "Snowflake" is ideal for these days when caring for each other & encouraging our friends to hope are so key." 

"Snowflake' is so good that I can go to bed tonight a great deal less frustrated" - Hot Music Live
