This CD is a nice blend of Bebel Gilberto, Cesaria Evora and Sade. Loide's rich sound makes you want more. Her hypnotic voice, sunroof open, and the crisp feel of fall, who needs anything else? I'm excited to hear more from this new artist and encourage everyone to experience this musical journey themselves!

I bought this album purely by recommendation of a friend of mine who is a regular "groupie" on the DC jazz circuit. It sat in my bag for about two weeks, and when I finally broke it out and popped it in my car during my long commute home one day, by the time I got home, I was so mezmerized by Loide's voice that I was unable to get out of the car. Since then, this album is in constant rotation in my CD player. The album is a surreal and an eclectic mix of sound, culture, and language, that keeps you asking "what's next?" (in a good way) once each song ends. It all fits together quite perfectly, however, and the most suprising aspect of this album for me is that Loide is able to traverse each sound with such fluency, and ease. I can't wait to see what's next from Loide, and encourage anyone who wants to expand their musical catalog to pick up Loide's mucial genius!!!

I love this CD because it offers you a little bit of everything. Its soulful, her voice is beautiful, and the language is sexy. This is a CD that will remain in rotation! Its a must have.

God may Bless you Diva Loide. African jazz its nice, i love it, but i also ill love to listening you singing some "Batida, Mgumbe( Mindjeris di pano Preto of Jose Carlos Scwarz of Guinea-Bissau, Zouk" for all Palop's, because you are very good and talented young lady, blessed with a unique melodic voice, you can sing anything in this planet world and you ill have success.
