“Lopez’s album ‘Red Arrow’ flies straight through multiple eras of rock, pop and country. Organic sounds are favored over electronics, while Lopez's versatile guitar playing provides a millennial take on everything from Eighties rock to timeless folk. Sly, generation-bridging vocals are the common thread, and as interest in Americana rises, Lopez could connect the dots for many young listeners." - Rolling Stone
“Christian Lopez welcomed change when it came time to write for his upcoming third studio album, The Other Side. The West Virginia-born and Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter left Nashville for the West Coast to find himself and his sound. He’s all the better for it, too..” - Billboard
“A West Virginia native who’s already made inroads in Americana and roots music, Lopez continues to explore his vast musical influences while staying true to his singer-songwriter roots. He’s no slouch as a guitarist either, as evidenced here..” - CMT
“Christian Lopez officially gained admittance into the music industry as a singer/songwriter when he dropped his debut EP, Pilot, at age 18. After that first collection of songs, Lopez was eagerly embraced by the Americana genre and he continued to produce music that paid homage to his West Virginia roots. Recently, however, Lopez felt an itch to break out of his original soundscape and create something truly electric..” - American Songwriter
“Weeks after Rolling Stone named him the Best Newcomer of Americana Fest 2015, Lopez brought his band back to West Virginia for a rollicking performance capped off by "Will I See You Again," a song that conjures the wild, wonderful sounds of the Mountain State so well that the West Virginia Division of Tourism made it the soundtrack to their #GoToWV campaign.” - NPR Music
“Magdalena, Christian Lopez's new album blazes a new path forward for the singer-songwriter while echoing influences as diverse as the Avett Brothers, Dawes, Graham Parsons, Neil Young, and the Byrds. This is Lopez's fourth full-length studio album, and his first as co-producer. It is filled with love and loss, featuring stripped down songs accompanied by a four-piece band chasing the purest form of the song. Magdalena sounds like a record made in the 1970s, or from the Alt-Americana roots wave of the 2000s.” - Forbes
