"Percussively, I listen and just think: "why aren't more people doing this?" and "why hasn't anyone done something like this in this way before?" Yes, it's good. It's inventive, creative and just... very very percussive. There is a feel of all the sounds being created w/ kitchenware utensils and p..." [+] Reply

"first listen and I think that this is going to be a grower. I think that she is very talented and I'll not sure at the moment why I'm not quite getting it yet but a few more listens might resolve that. Not bad, just not great, yet!" Reply

"This is one of the greatest records in recent memory. If you are seriously complaining about the 1 or 2 note melodies, the entire appeal of this record just went right over your head.

"If the phrase "Disco died" is true then this must be disco heaven. Jessie's vocals are so sultry and smooth. Every song is hit with such passion vocally. The instrumentals are as dynamic as a disco's greatest hits collection from 1982. The one criticism i have is the album gets a little slow in t..." [+] Reply
