  • I'm waiting for Leila's 2nd CD
    author: Wilfredo Lama Medina

    I am waiting for the next CD that Leila will release because I'm sure it will be as excellent as her first one. When I introduce her music to my friends and relatives I got just Wows! Soooo good! Wanderful! and expressions like that. Congratulations Leila, you are the best!

  • I've been listening to all the songs over and over.
    author: Frank Sisco

    What a great mix of songs! The first time I listened, I played the entire CD and read all the lyrics - lots of insights and positive messages. Gorgeous rhythms and textures. Flawless singing. The next time I played it twice through during a long car trip, and got I hooked on Leila's singing, the instrumentation and the songs themselves. Been humming the songs as they continue playing in my head. Highly recommend this CD.

  • Absolutely beautiful voice!
    author: Lisa

    This CD surprised me...in a good way! This is my first exposure to Leila and because of this cd, I will be listening to her a lot more. Incredible melodies. Her voice is gorgeous. I highly recommend.

  • Something Different
    author: Leila V.

    This CD is very cool! It is very different from the other popular music right now. It's nice to have a change once in a while. Leila's CD really provides a unique experience to music.

  • Catch a ride to paradise...grab the first note Leila breathes and fly
    author: Micky Sue Chan

    From the first time I listened to Leila sing I had a strange sensation that this was somewhere I'd gone before, and yet, fresh, absolutely fresh in my experience. The paradox is this: Familiar, yet stimulating! This CD is now one of my all-time favorites! Music lovers everywhere, don't miss this one!

  • Great Latino R&B Album
    author: Garry Westwell - Manchester UK

    This is a Great Latino R&B Album, my only disappointment was in the lack of latin Songs as the majority are in English. All the tracks are a kind of slow and sexy latin groove and her vocals are very nice.

  • Pure Bliss
    author: Talent Headhunters

    You won't be disappointed by Leila's smooth, latin/R&B groove. This is a must for lovers. Why hasn't the rest of America discovered this dynamo of a star? We downloaded several songs from MP3.COM, and knew we had to have more, so we ordered her full CD.

  • Velvety voice, profound words and warm, smooth vibe!
    author: Alyssa

    This is an AMAZING CD! It is so soulful and yet deeply poetic. I cried, I grooved and It made me reflect on life. Leila's words are truly inspiring and her voice is like velvet! I can't believe this is indie music. Thank you Leila for sharing your talent with me and thank you CD baby for having such a great site that gives us music fans a chance to discover something new!

  • lyrical depth, compelling messages and sexy vocals
    author: arianna

    Truly an awesome CD! I didn't buy it off this site (I wish I did) but when I found out that I could review Leila I could not pass up the opportunity to do so! This Cd is truly amazing it mixes R&B, Latin and Soul elements with an amazing delivery and deep meaningful lyrics that inspire and provoke! Something for everyone, poetic ballads, inspiring messages and plain old feel good rythms. I can't say enough good things about it!!
