Blender Magazine Hot List 2007

66. Obama Mama — Leah Kauffman
This 21-year-old Temple University junior is the voice behind the viral video smashes "My Box in a Box" and "I Got a Crush on Obama." The introspective piano songs on her MySpace page are a little more Kucinich, but she's still a genius.

New York Magazine

"While many political Websites have weighed in on Obama Girl, the nom de slow jam of singer/songwriter Leah Kauffman and model Amber Lee Ettinger, no one has weighed in on the most important issue of all: Does this ode to the hotness of Barack Obama, "I Got a Crush … on Obama," have the legs to be a No. 1 hit? We say yes!"

Palo Alto Daily News

"Philadelphia folk-pop artist Leah Kauffman presents three extraordinary songs. The college student hits tremendous heights with "Stratosphere." The dramatic "Colliding Cars" makes a lasting impact. "Right Now" offers an achingly lovely blend of vulnerability and strength. Kauffman's voice displays Sarah McLachlan-like beauty and elasticity, though it soars with its own qualities of dynamics and emotional urgency. She has been uncovered as "Bunny," the creator of the racy Internet satirical sensation "My Box in a Box." But her MySpace tunes reveal a talent that's far more than a novelty." - Paul Freeman
