CD Reviews
I'm in love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I am in love with this CD and this band. The sound is incredible and the mood puts me right where I need to be. My favorite tunes are Heartbeat (That jams!), Bounce, and Last Night. I love the mix of Jazz, R&B, and Hip Hop. Something new is in every track. That is rare these days. The singing is intoxicating the raps are tight and unique and the music is out of this world. Wonderful, exciting, and sure to please. Get this one. You will not be disappointed."

"This message is for anyone who is somewhat of a skeptical thinker as I USED to be. You see I love new music and talent, but songs now a days are just beginning to sound alike and are becoming remixes of the past. Which, dont get me wrong is fantastic that they are bringing in the old again. But REAL music in my book, is one of a kind. And this my friends is REAL music! The way the songs come together and send out this powerful message is amazing. You just seem to find this sense of reassurance that these songs were made from the depths of the heart. They sing about everyday reality. Things that really do happen and feelings that really do come up. All I can say is, I've never been happier with such music. This is the first CD I pop into my CD player when I wake up to start my day. Then on my way to work sitting in morning rush hour it's, Listen to This. Just saying they are a good band, does no justice. They are more than that. I love it! I love it!
Peace"
