Fans describe Jonali’s sound as “eclectic, transcendental, unique, futuristic, progressive, powerful, passionate and insightful”.
“This Ogden artist writes songs about lucid dreaming, aliens and personal experiences. Her charm will keep you here long after your drink is gone.” - Cafe Ibis, Logan Utah
"Need a shot of positivity in your life? Ogden's own BARBALOOT SUITZ, with their irrepressibly sunny outlook and thoughtfully challenging message, just might be what you're looking for. A duo with dual styles, the Suitz are known for swapping their guitar and trombone for fresh, inspired hip-hop flows and live vocal beat-boxing. Priding themselves on their one-hundred-percent organic music, BARBALOOT SUITZ create diverse and original compositions using only their own two voices and unaffected acoustic instruments." - SLUG Magazine
Barbaloot Suitz feature in the Standard Examiner
“Known as Barbaloot Suitz, and also by the duo’s hip hop alter ego BSUITZ, Sorensen and McFadden are making waves in local experimental genres, and are focused on creating original compositions that spread a lyrical wake up call to all who listen.” - Standard Examiner
“The unlikely brew of Jonali Sorensen’s acoustic guitar and soaring vocals, combined with Michael “McFish” McFadden’s trombone creates what the duo calls an “organic” sound. Even with the addition of McFadden’s looping pedals and beatboxing underlaid with Sorensen’s lyrical rap skills, the organic theme is persistent.” - Standard Examiner
“The duo first came into each others’ lives when Sorensen auditioned for ska band The Love Astronauts and met McFadden. After the band released an album, it dissolved, and left Sorensen and McFadden, now more than just bandmates, without a musical project. McFadden said he and Sorensen started writing songs together, not expecting much to come out of it.” - Standard Examiner
