Blown Away
author: Lindale Banks
Narissa Bond's "Three Words" simply blow me away! Her melodies and angelic voice is a combination of folk, jazz and blues, together they take me down the roads of love, life and spirituality. Every time I listen to "Three Words", it allows me to dive deeper into my most intimate emotions and gives me the yearing to utter "Three Words" to my special someone, and take a closer look at the world I reside in. I own all three of Narissa's CDs, and sincerely believe "Three Words" is the best yet. As I travel throughout Western Europe, "Three Words" accompanies me, making me feel closer to home and giving me another connection to the people I meet, and share her gifts with. I impatiently await her follow up CD!!!!

Another Masterpiece
author: Angela Haywood
I have known Narissa Bond for years, after meeting her at several live performances of her first two albums. I fell in love with the sweet melody of her voice & the passion in her lyrics immediately, & have been eagerly awaiting the release of this third CD. She manages to use weave her own emotions & experiences into elegant and meaningful lyrics, while relaxing you with the sweet sounds of her guitar. Listening to this latest CD was like sitting across from her in a coffee, shop, smiling as she pours her heart out to us through song. My favorite tracks are "Three Words," & "Little Town," & just like her previous two albums, this one feels like a big hug from Narissa. Thank you Narissa, for sharing your passion & talent once again. Well done!

Sublime
author: LaShonda K. Barnett
In 1995, I was introduced to the music of Narissa Bond, an artist whose music raises the bar on matters of the heart. As a songwriter, Bond mines her life's experiences to create a deeply personal musical statement. Her lyrics are founts of wisdom and wells of emotion. Equally impressive is her guitar playing, where she envelops listeners in lush textures and hues creating an infectious groove. Narissa's latest release, her fourth full-length album of original music and lyrics,Three Words, is a collection of love songs by turns sentimental ("Journey of Light," a song dedicated to Bond's mother), spiritual ("The Muse") and erotic ("Unexpected"). On every track Bond displays the kind of confidence that speaks to genuine artistic maturity. Stand out tracks for me include "Little Town," "Unexpected" and "Brightest Star." Three Words is an album of elegant melodies and colorful emotion.
