REVIEWS

One of the best new artists I've heard in a long long time
author: Helltothano
I heard about this artist thru a friend. I'm a huge soul music fan and really think there's not much new in the way of new true soul artists. Vonyse's music really gets to you and her voice is second to none. HIGHLY recommended.

inspiring

i recently got turned on to this CD by a buddy, and it is so refreshing to hear this kind of honest, soul driven music. the song 'don't go' is a real stand-out track, the kind of classic american soul, much in the vein of the great Bill Withers. It has such a strong message and stellar music, that it's been on repeat several times on my drive to work and back. thank you for that great song and a cool album to vibe to... tyr
