"This CD is like a testimonial. There is a saying that everybody's got a story, well Melky Sedeck are wonderful narrators and tell their story with such lyrical styling. Songs like "Lady" the words in the song should be a national anthem for young ladies...."I man will be a man, that I know....Just because he slept in your bed last night doesnt mean he's yours for life". A Woman is sexy and classy, works seven days a week so the kids can eat. "Paradise" makes you feel just that...on an island sippin' tropical punch aspiring for that paradise right here at home with your significant other. Rather than give a description of every track on the hot album.....Check it out for yourself. By the way, its nothing like the style of older brother Wyclef.....Melky Sedeck surpass the mediocre style of there brother with a depth in lyrics and a smoothness in musical style that is demonstrative of what should be in soul music and not what sells."

"Wyclef's "Brother Sister" have done it. This is a must for any Soul music fan. The album, like the title of one of their songs ,is "Raw". Melky has a beautiful voice to listen to. Sedecks instrumentation is wonderful as well. The songs are original and nothing else compares to it."
Rocks the house--ignore all negative reviews!

"This CD rocks. "To Sir With Love" is enough, but figure that in with "#1 Guy" and you have the nice, smoothness of sixties/seventies girl-group soul all wrapped up. These guys rock. I too heard their stuff on soundtracks but was NOT disappointed at all. "Diva" is great and so is "Raw"--they have a harder edge. They're kinda like MeShell N'... in a few spots and sweet sweet sweet throughout. Buy it now! Express mail, G!"
This Album is music for the next millenium ground breaking

"When I first purchase this album I thought it would be filled with samples and a lot of other nuances that plague music today. Thank God Its not!I was fortunate to see these kids live on the lilith fair tour and I am a fan for life. Melky's voice is dynamic on record and electric live. If you are tired of listening to the same boring music that is being pushed on us This is an album for you. And If you get the chance run hop do whatever but see them perform live It will captivate you. An Ike&Tina for the year 2000! In a word refreshing. Soul music without any bonderies. Music for the "intelligent listener" Get it before the band wagon starts!!!!!!!"
The best release of summer '99!

"This cd is truly the most original music around right now. It combines r&b, soul, opera, classical & pop without preaching either influence to the listener. It truly is made for people who appreciate soul music beyond the usual that is recorded by way too many untalented artists. BUY IT!"
