"Indian-born and now Switzerland-based singer/songwriter Ajay Mathur has re-written the story of the Phoenix. Just as the tale of the bird rising out of the ashes, he reminds listeners in his exceptional song “Start Living Again” that coming out of the dark is just one song away. "
- IndiePulse Music, Mindy McCall
"The song is a power pop song with extra attention to Mathur’s soothing, champagne-like vocals. Listeners can feel relaxed and easily entertained as a passenger to this song."
- RazorFish, Heather Savage
"Mathur’s tethering of love and humanistic emotions are coupled with his innate ability to sing in the same way a lullaby calms a baby – making for a splendid song."
- GasHouse Radio, Sebastian Cole
"If you like songs that build you up and fill you up with confidence and love - “Start Living Again” is a start." - Band Blurb, Jamie Morse
“Start Living Again” doesn’t take long to get the emotional reactors charged. I still think Mathur’s lovely voice makes it hard to be angry or hurt while listening to the song. I do think it makes you reflective. It makes you feel less alone." - Indie Mindy, Andrew Brody
