Don't Sleep!

"I saw Deborah open for Kem and I was blown away by her voice and her band! So, I rushed off to buy this CD! I'm sorry it took me so long to write a review because she deserved it long ago! You will not be disappointed with Ms. Bond's performance on this project...she gives you music for the soul, music to chill out to and music to think on? A powerful, soulful delivery and yet she got no promotion! This CD is all that and a bag of chips with a side of dill pickles! It is in heavy rotation, still!
This is grown people's music...and she delivers it with side orders and dessert!"
Wonderful piece of soul music!

"Dayafter" by Deborah Bond is nothing short of an instant classic. Would we expect any less from a chanteuse who lists Chaka, Sade, and Anita as her influences? Even then, she delivers with a powerful voice that establishes her own style. "Givin Up" is my kind of laid back, mellow groove. The vibe set by this track makes you wanna chill and leave your worries for tomorrow! Also, I'm feelin' "Don't Waste Your Time" where she cautions a friend on relationship issues. Words, sounds, and power are the direction Deborah takes with her music. On love issues, how about "Keep On" which boasts sensuality and passion as something to be cherished? Deborah Bond is backed by her band 3rd Logic. They have that deep, soulful sound the masses will adore and hold to heart.I place them in high regard like Fertile Ground, N'Dambi, Erykah Badu and others. In the years to come when we are too old to dream, we'll remember Deborah's beautiful sound and her timeless music will keep us young. DJ Come of Age

Excellent CD

"This CD is marvelous and it is so ridiculous that so many people don't know who she is. She has a wonderful, soulful, and mature voice. Wonderful singer. Truly, if you appreciate Jill Scott, Goapele, and Erykah Badu, you'll love Deborah Bond. I saw her in D.C. when she opened for Goapele and she was outstanding. My husband and I purchased her CD based on that performance. She was awesome live and just as amazing on the album."
Why No Promotion and Airplay?

"It is a sin and a shame that Deborah Bond is a unknown in the music industry. She has it all--lyrics, music and a great band. There is not a bad cut on this cd. This is the type of cd you put on when you have a group of friends over or when you have your signaficant other over. Somebody please get this lady some promotion!!!"
BRILLIANT!

"Deborah Bond is in a class all by herself. This album is a MUST HAVE for any real music lover. 'This is Me' has become my personal theme song. I was in the record store when I saw her album and asked to preview it. I heard all of 15 seconds when I knew I had to own it. I can't wait till she comes to my cd. If her cd is this much fire, my goodness her live show must be a volcano."
