"Let me get straight to the point. Soraya is gorgeous, she has a sensual voice, writes her own songs and plays the guitar, something uncommon in Latin American women. This cd will show people that women can rock. Although this cd is not mainstream, people who purchase this cd will not be disappointed. All of these songs are well written, but the best have to be "Avalancha," "De Repente," "Quedate," "Amore En Tus Ojos," "Calma Antes De La Tormenta" and "Razon Para Creer." All these songs are relaxing and give an euphoric sense. Track number 10 is included to honor her home country, Colombia, although it is depressing, this traditional song suits Soraya's style. Trust me, most of these songs will be unforgettable that I am usually reminded of the time this cd came out, way back in 1996. Why? Because I first heard it in the summer, purchased and heard all the tracks by winter, and whenever there is a chilly, windy, sunny afternoon I am immediately transported back to winter of 1996."
Adios Soraya

"
Me cuesta escribir estas lineas por la pena que siento ante la noticia de tu fallecimiento. Solo quiero decir en este momento que mi pena se consuela porque se que luchaste mucho en esta vida, y eso se te tendra en cuenta aqui y en la eternidad. Gracias por ser un ejemplo de fortaleza para todos y por las canciones que nos dejaste ."

"Soraya is so great. Even though I don't know too much spanish I still can get the jist of the songs through her voice and tone. She has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. In fact she is really a lot like Sheryl Crow except she sounds much better (no slight against the very talented Sheryl). Buy this now. You won't regret it."

"I had first heard (Track #1) this very vaugely in english. Then later in the year I started listening to a latin Radio Station and Heard it (Track #1) in spanish not knowing there is a version in english and by the Same person. But I knew this was a very familar Song. De Repente is what started my life and the new life I Started at 18. I know she speaks of her Experinces and I am deeply blessed to understand. She has Drawn love out of my heart in a way no one has. Even though I am a man I have not experinced breast Cancer, Her Songs are like Messages that You and I could Relate In our own ways. What Makes Soraya "Soraya" is her Gift to the world. Her Music Is Like the Higher Power For those That Beleive. It embraces you with love in many different affections. Then it Cleanses Your heart of the Spiritual Poisoning we have felt. Then it baptizes us With Renewed Hope, Stength and Inspiration."
