"One of the freshest, most interesting and flat-out coolest discs to come down the river in years. I can't believe people aren't tracking this yet, as evidenced by the fact that this is the first review. The Beauty Room successfully melds the styles of a wide range of artists/genres into some absolutely stunning and gorgeous vocal harmonies and rhythms. At times I hear Brian Wilson, Zero 7, Sting, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and others -- and it somehow blends beautifully with an old school, yet contemporary feel. Thanks to King Britt for turning me on to The Beauty Room by tracking an advance of "Visions of Joy" this summer on KCRW's Chocolate City (Go Garth). If "Visions of Joy" and the others here don't blow you away, you're not alive. This is music with beauty AND brains."
