REVIEWS:

QUINCY JONES "I loved every drop. I've been waiting to have an album like this come into my ears. It's so nice to hear music, especially the fusion between African and pop-jazz. Melissa you are one talented lady! Your music is beautiful, simply beautiful. You've got it all."

CHAKA KHAN "Deep awesome ethereal funk. I haven't been this excited about being part of an album project for years. The great thing is there's no exploitation in this music"

WHOLE LIFE TIMES "Vardey's technique is formidable yet soulful. Her loose and empathic keyboard abilities give her a comfort with her main instrument that few musicians ever achieve" (Whole Life Times)

UNITONE RECORDINGS "Awash with joyous African-themed sounds. An aural olive branch possessing all the wonder and splendor of a sublime dream. A stream of consciousness masterwork"

NEW PARADIGM DIGEST
"A masterful epic journey which takes the listener to exotic yet familiar lands"
