Album Notes

“If there ever was a time, since Bob Marley where Reggae could actually penetrate popular music, AURESIA definitely has the potential to do it” -- Duke Eatmon, CBC Radio 1, Home Run,

"One of the most distinctive things about AURESIA's music is that although like many singers here and abroad, she writes good and meaningful lyrics, she also has the very rare (at least in reggae) ability to compose and play the music beautifully as well. She is a consummate musician, a skillful singer and deftly uses her voice as one of the instruments in the mix. AURESIA is one of the few people left who truly understands the value of non-synthesized sounds and is the first female reggae producer from Quebec I have ever heard, and one of the first Canadians this year to properly orchestrate/arrange a horn section, complete with melodica; Proper!" -- DJ Chocolate, Radio DJ CKLN, Toronto, ON
