A sensual, alluring voice with a great song choice makes this album a must-have. Lizz Wright brings a soft, sexy, and flirtatious quality to her music. This album is a huge improvement over her previous album, "Salt." While "Salt" was great stuff, this newest endeavour is sure to win fans and seduce those of us vulnerable to smooth vocals.

WOW!
A different sound to the RnB sounds of 'salt', at first i heard this album and was disappointed but the more and more i heard it the more those songs haunted me, wether i hummed them or sung them outloud, this album touched me and i'm sure it touched whoever listens to it.
beautiful voice, beautiful music, just a simply beautiful album!

Ms. Lizz Wright, outdoes herself on this CD. I first listened to Salt about a year ago, and loved it. Saw Ms. Wright perform "On the Skinny" at "The Egg" in Albany, NY where she performed several of these songs from her new CD,dreaming wide awake. She has an incredible range, she is young, beautiful and refreshing. Anyone will be able to listen to this CD and take something away from it, some of these songs have been recorded in the past by such greats as the Beatles, and Ms. Wright' version is moving, you can feel her love of music and life.

It all started when D'Breeon was invited to Paisley Park (the studio belonging to Prince), D'BREEON laid down the track "Call HER" available on D'BREEON's internationally distributed album 'DO IT'. Now the former Stanley Jordan saxman and singer D'BREEON has stepped out again with the "FANTASY" Album, which delivers a double punch! This 2CD album sizzles with the hottest R&B on the 'Mysterious Lover CD'(1), and the coolest Club Jazz the 'Fantasy'CD(2). The 'Mysterious Lover' CD is a collection of urban stories about love, relationships and their complexities. The 'Fantasy' CD delivers soulful sax playing with the intellectual prowess of the Old-School masters combined with 21rst century urban grooves.Experience the phenomenon, and see why D'BREEON is in Who's Who 2005-2006.."....moves with the sexuality of Sade..." - EAR BUZZ"a collection of jazzy space-age soul" - Geoff Wilbur's RenegadeBio:The Chicago-born D'BREEON started playing the piano and saxophone when he was six years old under supervision of his mother, concert pianist Parrea Wilson. He continued his studies under renowned Jazz-bassist Richard Davis at the University at Wisconsin, Madison where he extensively played the local club scene and became well known as an energetic Pop singer and New-School saxophonist. He played with Stanley Jordan at a concert in conjunction with Stanley Jordan's promotional tour. At the same time, he composed and performed smash Pop-R&B jams with his band, the Dans. D'BREEON's work has been celebrated since he was part of the album project "MadScene" with his band called the Dans. . The "Madscene" album featured the song "DO YOU", written by D'BREEON who also sang lead vocals, which received excellent reviews. As a result, D'BREEON was invited to Paisley Park (The Artist Formerly Known as Prince's) recording studios to lay down the tracks that now appear on the DO IT album as "Call Her". Soon after graduation, he moved to Los Angeles to work exclusively ...

Maybe you know the COREsong "The Angle" from the videogame 'Smackdown vs. Raw', maybe you have already listened to some tunes on MTV's 'Meet The Barkers' or 'Viva La Bam', maybe you just dig our sound – anyway here we are finally on CDBaby! Well, we've been making music for ages. Chris and Sascha started writing and performing together at the age of 15, Harry joined them some three years later. And since then we've been making music for the sake of music. Because we love music - it's as simple as that. Undergoing different incarnations of the band and also experimenting stylistically throughout the years, we finally returned to our very first three-piece basis. Hence the name CORE.But there is also a second aspect to the name: Making music (or any form of creative output) always implies a quest of your very own identity, of the inner potential, of the essence - of the artist's - you guess it - CORE.The band's - and our personal - evolution has led to this band. It's the reason why we sound the way we do. We think that it's a pretty unique thing - hopefully just as unique as people are. We hope that it's special - 'cause that's what we've always wanted to do. (To be perfectly honest we've always wondered why so many bands within a certain genre sound - and look! - totally the ...
