Her current EP, After L.I.F.E. received this review from Australian film director and Music Supervisor, Andrew Kotatko: ""Beth Hirsch is a singer, songwriter and prolific collaborator with an exquisite voice as tender and caressing as a summer breeze in a sycamore tree. Beth’s captivating new EP “After L.I.F.E.” is a worthy companion piece to her excellent 2020 album “L.I.F.E.” Highlights include a gorgeously bittersweet reworking of “Our Song” by Takashi Fujimori (from Beth’s exceptional solo  album “Wholehearted”), the summery, jazz-infused flight of “D*Votion” with D*Note, and Wouds' persuasive and driving new take (feat. ELIOT) on “All I Need”, Beth’s iconic collaboration with Air.”" "Andrew Kotatko, Music Supervisor “The Power of the Dog”"
