“Malaika Wanjiku…had seemingly limitless vocal range paired with a warm, resonant tone. Her stage presence also grabbed me, with expressive gestures and confident movement that made every note feel intentional and compelling.”

— River Cities Reader

“Malaika Wanjiku leads “Learn Your Lessons Well,” which begins with a great stride-style from Surico on keys, and morphs into a hard rock, and then heavenly gospel style at the end, with stratospheric high notes unleashed by Wanjiku.”

— Jonathan Turner, Quad Cities

“Malaika Wanjiku conveys constant energy and determination as Alana Beck…Wanjiku's can-do spirit helps drive the story forward, and her Alana is a detail-oriented perfectionist who never quits.”
