"To say that the newest release from Coco Columbia is one hell of a wild ride would be an understatement." "Coco Columbia is a dream, a vehicle, a magic machine where the girl beneath the wig transmutes her real world fears into the raw stuff of courage, much as an alchemist alters gravel into gold." -Eleven PDX Magazine (2016) "Coco Columbia's sophomore album, When the Birds Begin to Walk, reveals itself as an astonishing 10-track gallery piece." -Willamette Week (2016) "Her crystalline singing is the music’s ballast, which is quite a feat considering how much it shapeshifts even within the course of a single song. On “9 Steps,” Columbia goes from belting to the cheap seats, to cooing to the folks in the front row, to crying to the heavens.
