      • 1981 February 14, Maida Tilchen, “Alix Living With Contradictions”, in Gay Community News, volume 8, number 29, page 18:
        Alix has a consistent style but she's a fantastic writer of melodies, and every tune stands on its own. What she does best is to take highly verbal, lyric-centered songs and make them musical, catchy, and singable.
