Album Notes

Roni Yadao's talent is no secret here in Sacramento- she has been entertaining audiences in high-energy club bands all her life.
Her new CD "Better Part of me" showcases her passion for music in a big way.
As a singer/songer this lady has come into her own.
Expect a unique musical journey as you are teased into her scene starting
off with "Hey Jacky"- a driving rock tune and "This Beautiful Mess" a groove with stinging irony. "Distance" her duet with San Diego vocalist Philip Lenud has the strong pull of deep-felt love. "Another Lover," is an irresistibly wild funky jam that dares you not to move. "Heading Home," is reminiscent of
Joni Mitchell with her blunt observations coupled with acoustic sounds.
The ballad, "Sea and Sand", stands out fo Yadao's vocal excellence. "Eastbound to Nowhere," carries the load with raw imagery that makes you re-think your ride to work. "Good enough" is powerful and just that-- even better. Tasty feeling "Wrapped" features local artists, her sister, Rochelle Yadao on keyboards, Vince Hernandez on lead quitar, DonnTuttle on Bass and Dan Velez on drums and leaves you hummin'. "Thankful" reminds you of yourself or someone you know and stays with you. Notably the title track,
"Better Part of Me" says is all, " I can enjoy now, reaching for my dreams... I'm gonna be everything I was meant to be ..." This woman was meant to be out there and fly.

This CD is amazing! From start to finish this CD really flows. The arrangements, the melody, the lyrics...from rock to jazzy sounds; smooth grooves to funky beats; to soft, sensual ballads. This CD has it all. You can sing along or just listen and "feel" her passion drawing you into the music. Roni's talents shine through on this one!

This CD is excellent and provides a nice sampling of Roni's versatility, strength, range, and abilities in songwriting, singing, musicianship abilties, and style. In watching and hearing Roni over the years, it is nice to see her now branching out on her own more, and this CD is just the "tip of the ice-berg" of what she can do. Unfortunately, this CD is not a video/DVD (yet), so folks won't actually get to see Roni's amazing and gripping on-stage performance ability which, for those of us who have actually seen her live performances, have been able to enjoy and embrace Roni's full spectrum of talent and emotional expression via her voice, music, and on-stage presence. However, once you hear it, you will want to find out where Roni will be doing a live performance/show (perhaps she will go on tour soon?) I would not be surprised that many more people stand up and take notice of her and her talents, including a record label signing her soon, taking her to the next level in her career. She is could/will be a stong contender for a Grammy, one day!

This CD is worth owning. This isn't the type of CD where 1 or 2 songs are good, all of the songs are excellent, I have a new favorite it seems everyday. Lyrics, voice, music, this CD has it all.

This long overdue CD certainly brought out the better part of Roni. The lyrics and music give the listener a wonderful choice. All the songs tingle my ears from the ballads to the upbeat get up and dance tunes. Congratulations on a job well done. A must CD for everyone's collection.
