If you really like great soulful singers Wado's new album is a must........2006-08-12
Wade O. Brown brings us a lot of love and lots of soul from Canada on his brand new album "All Night, All Love". On his first album-Complete- Wado did all the work on his own. But on "All Night, All love" Wade O. Brown has worked with different producers and songwriters e.g. Cornelius C. Mims, Darryl Simmons, Dave Sereny and Gordon Chambers.
As Wade O. Brown is a musician who likes a top-notch orchestration and a good production you might be sure that he surrounded himself with people that have the same aspirations. If you really like great soulful singers Wado's new album His voice will remind you of artists that can really sing and have their own style like The O'Jays, Lou Rawls, Teddy Pendergrass and Jeffrey Osbourne. His music however is music from today.
A song like About Her can easily challenge songs in today's top ten r&b and soul charts. Another track on All Night, All Love which is remarkable is Wholeheart while the title track itself is so sweet to dance on. Wholeheart is remarkable because the instrumentation representing the heartbeat is very cleverly found. It demonstrates creativity.(TA)
Stand Out Tracks: About Her, Put This On, All Night, All Love, Just Good Friends, Where Do We Go For Love, Best Of My Love
An R&B Great.......2005-12-25
This CD is just exceptional and a "MUST have" for any R&B music lover.
The CD is a vocally brillant and it is very well produced.
In my view it ranks as good as anything from artists such as Joe, Johnny Gill, Gerald Levert, Silk, Kenny Lattimnore, Keith Washington, Christopher Williams, Brian McKnight & Luther Vandross etc...
So if you like any of these artists then I can only recommend you buy this CD as it will not dissappoint you.
Wade O Brown: New Music in the Classic R&B Tradition.......2005-09-28
My first exposure to Wade O Brown was a few years ago while I was watching television during a trip to Montreal, Canada.
He was on a morning show promoting his debut CD "Complete". I was so impressed with his performance, I spent most of the
day visiting music stores looking for his CD.
Recently, when I learned that Wade was about to release his second album, and that they were going to promote it in the states, I was on a mission to obtain a copy.
I'm here to report that Wade O. Brown's "All Night, All Love" is an exceptional R&B CD. There's something for everyone. Dance jams, mid-tempo grooves, and silky smooth ballads. His deep booming voice invokes comparison to Jaheim, without all the thuggish lyrics.
Wade is in his dance groove on "All Night, All Love", "Shake", and "Where Do You Go For Love", which was the first single from the project. For those of us that like that mid-tempo two-step beat there's "Just Good Friends", "Put This On", "Besides", and the radio friendly "So Glad".
For the lovers in the house, Wade has plenty of songs for those
romantic moments. Just listen to "About Her", "How Does It Feel", "My All Is You", along with the new single "Maybe", and you will feel the sensual expression of love.
"All Night, All Love", the new CD from Wade O. Brown. A refreshing collection of R&B songs; celebrating the diversity of urban music.

5 stars is not enough!.......2004-12-09
As I write this review I am listening to "Mary" from this album. This song alone is destined to become a true classic - and believe me, there will be more to come from Kristin Hoffmann, who is the most talented singer and songwriter I have heard in years and years. She does it all: she writes both the words and the music, plays the piano (she is classically trained), arranges the music - but most importantly, she does all this with the most beautiful, expressive and soulful voice and heartful talent. She has her finger on the creative pulse of this extraordinary universe, and we are the lucky ones who benefit from the generous sharing of her gifts. Buy every album she has or will produce, and go see her sing in any venue you can - you will be happy you did.
Music To Last a Lifetime.......2004-10-05
Just because one may not have heard of this wonderfully talented musician does not mean she is not among the best songwriters, singers and performers out there. This album which was produced in 2002 is incredibly current in its themes and universal in its appeal.
The variety of music coming out of one album and the meaningful messages offered by the artist definitely make it worth your while to immediately purchase this music. It will be the best investment in a C.D. you can make, not just becasue you will enjoy it for a long, long time, but because it will introduce you to a very gifted and wonderful person who happens to love to share her talents with others. Her voice alone will astound you.
I have been listening to this album since 2002 and never seem to tire from it. Whether you are into folk, pop or any other genre of music, Kristin's music will most powerfully speak to you as well as entertain you for a long time to come.
Soulful, searching, beautiful........2004-10-05
I was at a function where Kristin Hoffmann performed a few of her songs from this album. I had chills... her voice and emotions were so perfectly manifested through her songs. She is obviously a seeker and her lyrics seem to narrate her exploration of the spiritual (spiritual--not religious). I tend to buy a lot of CDs but only a few songs make it onto my all-time lists of favourites... I have added 3 tracks from this album. When I play it at work, people always -- always -- stop by to comment. Why this woman is not getting a tremendous amount of airplay shows that talent is not the deciding factor of fame. (Visiting her website, I see that she rejected an opportunity to be signed by a major label so she could maintain control and integrity over her creations. Their loss is our gain.)

BLUES REVUE MAGAZINE Issue No.61 by Tom Hyslop.......2000-09-21
You might have noticed her name in a list of W.C.Handy nominees. Maybe you've heard her perform in a club or at a major festival. It's even possible that you haven't heard of her. Well, her super-bad new disc, "People Love The Blues", is pure impact, and if it takes hype to get the message out, this is a good time to start it. Get hip to Sista Monica now, she's that good. Sista Monica Parker's huge voice and incredible chops give her one of the best instruments around. Her sweet but powerful singing bears traces of admired singers like Etta James and Katie Webster. Teqnique? Monica can blow the element out of her microphone with the best of them ("Somebody Gonna Give Up Something Tonight"), work a late-night ballad with gospel intensity ("A Chnce To Breathe")or quiet sincerity ("It's A Shame, It's A Mystery"), or convincingly deliver an anthemic standard-to-be ("People Love The Blues"). And She's a performer that can hold your attention through an entire humorous narative ("Honey It's Your Fault"). Her phrasing and delivery are unerring and she has attitude to burn. Three covers- Jackie Wilson's "Baby Work Out", Albert Collin's "Put Your Shoe On The Other Foot", and James Cleveland's "Walk Around Heaven All Day"- aside, Sista Monica wrote and produced everything on this album, alone or in conjunction with keyboard player Danny B. All the material is top-notch, mostly in a contemporary style not too far from the great sound of Collins' Alligator and Pointblank records. Her band, including Ron E. Beck on drums, a horn section and several guitar and bass men, smolders on slow blues and boils over on the funk. The record spotlights several appearances each from some of the best guitarists in the businnes: the impeccable Dan Caron (of the late Charles Brown's Band), versatile Jimmy Thackery and mighty Larry McCray, who defines both raw power and beautiful understatement in his contributions. Enough said. If you dig contemporary blues, it's hard to imagine that you won't like Sista Monica. She's star material all the way. This is a near-perfect record, and, like the title says, People Love The Blues.
Sista Monica is the Real Deal.......2000-09-13
Few singers have emerged in the past few years who have impressed this writer as much as Sista Monica Parker. She has a new album on her Mo Muscle label, People Love the Blues, that should help continue to establish her as one of the great singers in the blues today. While I was sent a cd without a cover or liner notes, I presume her band that includes keyboard wizard Danny B. (Beconcini), drummer Ron Beck and guitarist Sam Verela with special guests on this album, Larry McCray and Jimmy Thackery. A couple tracks feature the booting sax of late Ken "Big Papa" Baker whose loss is still felt by Monica and her band. For those not having heard her two earlier albums, Sista Monica is a powerful singer with a voice that will remind you of Etta James, though one can hear other influences including Ruth Brown, Big Maybelle and others. And like them, when you hear her sing, you notice her presence. On an album with consistent first-rate performances, it is hard to pick stand-out tracks, but a long blues, One Thang Baby, may be it with a smoldering backing. And Monica is not the woman as victim here. If a man wants to give her crap, he can sleep in his own bed as she reminds him on You're Only Good For One Thang Baby. Not that she can't handle a lighter mood as on the more low-key A Chance to Breathe. There is also a rocking rendition of Jackie Wilson's Baby Work Out. What else can I say, but she has produced another superb album that firmly establishes her as among the leading singers in the blues today. While the mass media focuses on the next young blues phenom, a major talent like Sista Monica whose music has substance may not get the hype, but certainly should and will get an audience her talent deserves. And she is as good live as on record
another big lovin women.......2000-08-28
if you love shemieka copeland you will love sista monica with a strong powerful voice that can belt out any blues tune and could also touch your heart with her tender soulful voice this cd is for you. special guests are larry mccray and james thackery on guitars
Oh My God!.......2000-06-10
This CD is so good. I am not a traditional blues fan and this CD is an awful surprise and a great introduction into the blues genre. Way to go Sista!

Album Description
Tuesday's Child, the debut release by singer/songwriter, musician, producer -Abenaa, is attracting grooveheads and seasoned connoisseurs with her `life` lyrics and expressive vocal style. Like artists Macy Gray, Lauryn Hill, and Lenny Kravitz, Abenaa is forging her own alternative soulful pop/rock, `genre-bending` musical expression.
Customer Reviews:
Tuesday's Child - 3.5 stars.......2006-07-16
I got this disc after seeing her video for SONG FOR YOU. This is one of my favorite tracks with its great melody & simplistic vocals. I don't listen to the radio and it's hard to get any buzz or info about an artist such as Abenaa because her music isn't considered "mainstream".
Abenaa's music is hard to classify but if I had to compare this disc to one in recent memory, it'd be Rhiann Benson's. Abenaa isn't a powerhouse vocalist but she does have a pleasant voice that shines more on the tracks that are sparely produced with just her singing and a piano or guitar accompanying; on tracks that have a lot more going on musically, her voice tends to get drowned out.
The disc is really short - clocked in at less than an hour but each song is distinctly individual and will keep the listener interested. The tracks that stood out to me are:
SIMPLE LIFE - loved the guitar riffs on this track, unlike anything I've heard
SONG FOR YOU - beautiful love song
RAIN & IF I TELL YOU
GOD MADE YOU - an upbeat inspirational song
I'd recommend this disc to those who like unconventional singer/
songwriters and live music production.
See Her Live.......2005-10-28
I saw her and her band live in Charleston SC on 10-26-05. She and her band put on an excellent show and I bought the CD on the spot. Excellent CD I definately reccomend it if you like real song writing and real instrumentation and real singing!
Tuesday's child don't wait til tomorrow.......2005-10-10
This cd is Execellent. Each song will touch your mind and heart. She has written for Vanessa williams, a few songs on "the sweetest day", oddly, their voices are very similar. She has made a stunning masterpiece with this cd, perfect for those introspective days. File under Acoustic Soul
How do you..........2005-03-22
Put her into one category? It's very difficult to pigeon whole her and her music because its just so solid and so good, yet it defies a label. When you listen to her, think warm breezes, clear azure water and trees baring ripe fruit....she's that vivid!
Although, this Cd is a few years old, it is still worth the investment. You can clean to it, chill out with it, take long drives by it or simply soak in the hot tub and contemplate life.
New Music at it's Best!.......2004-11-23
I heard a portian of this album while on a Delta flight recently and fell in love with it. I've been searching all over for the cd to buy as christmas presents for my friends and family as well as myself. When the song Rain came on, it was familiar and I liked it from hearing it on local radio but never knew the artist. If the four songs I heard while on my flight an incline of the rest of the album, consider me her biggest fan.

Album Description
Windblown Kiss is the first full-length album by Lovespirals, the beautiful, and beautifully surprising collaboration of RYAN LUM (the driving force behind legendary Love Spirals Downwards ) and new collaborative singer/songwriter Anji Bee.
Reknown multi-instrumentalist Lum once again creates musical landscapes of breathtaking beauty - and with vocal styles ranging from ethereal to earthy, sweet to sensual, Bee shows off her remarkable vocal range, and allows the full force of her voice to soar into the sublime.
Drawing inspiration from Flamenco, Bebop, soul, folk and the stacks of early vinyl they each grew up loving, Lovespirals has created a timeless world of romance and intrigue. Leaving behind the conventional restraints of dance-floor tracks, this latest endeavor is at once a dreamscape of nostalgia, and a kiss blown to the future.
Using half a dozen different guitars, and featuring the extraordinary talents of Doron Orenstein (of Frescoe ) on saxophones, and Sean Bowley (of Eden) on acoustic guitar and vocals, Windblown Kiss is a celebration of creative anachronism: the past and the future negotiate a gorgeous balance.
Customer Reviews:
Can't get enough of this great album........2004-06-19
I bought this CD over a month ago and just can't get enough of it. I'm reading these reviews now, and I think it deserves a higher rating than it's got. Well, I keep returning over and over to everything that Love Spirals Downwards has recorded, especially songs like City Moon and Sunset Bell from Flux and Noumena of Spirit and This Endris Night from Idylls, Madras, Will You Fade, etc. But this is fast becoming one of my favorite cds of all time. There are so many great things about this album. Anji Bee is just divine. Her vocals and harmonies soar into that perfect harmonious space that great singers know how to hit. What a great remake of America's You Girl. I listened to this song on repeat for about 8 hours over two days on my trip through Arizona and Utah. Her backing vocals at the end are just delicious. Same for how her backing vocal comes in with the lines "toda se pasa" on Dejame or "his voice is like a song..." on He Calls Me. The Spanish lines flow so nicely in Dejame- "y los suenos, suenos son." Oh man, more people should buy this CD. I can't get enough of the gorgeous and intricate saxophone melodies in the 3 songs that feature Doron Orenstein. It inspires me to get more sax cds now. Ryan Lum's guitar work is great as usual, but this album is so varied, with all the different styles. I love the solo on Windblown Kiss and his mood setting picking on Swollen Sea. Anji Bee sings just off key at times to also add to the atmosphere of Swollen Sea- "will you return here, engulfed by a bleak fear..." I drove through a Death Valley sunset listening to this great song. Then comes the last track, which is currently my favorite track. I just love the way the sax repeats his line about two minutes into the song and then she repeats "no I, no I can't see you..." It's just brilliant, and one of many brilliant moments on this album. If these songs are a sincere expression of their love for each other, then I feel it. You guys are great- I so much look forward to your next CD!
Um....not what I expected, and to be honest it was not good.......2003-05-23
After reading these other reviews, I was psyched to get this album and give it a listen. I loved Love Spirals Downwards, and figured it is basically them anyhow so it should rock. Well, from the first song on I forced myself not to turn of the disc player! It is a totally different vibe then LSD, so if you are expecting anything like the other LSD albums it is not. The vocals are similar for the women, but a guy sings now, if you can call it that. It had 1 or 2 songs that were OK at best, but it was not worth the price I payed. I would return it in a heartbeat if I could. This sounds harsh, but so does the album.
Lovespirals need a new audience.......2002-10-08
"Windblown Kiss" is obviously misunderstood by many Projekt Records fans. Clearly, this album was not recorded with them in mind. None -- or at least, few -- of the typical ethereal music cliches are present in the songwriting of this new Lovespirals release. While there is certainly an ethereal mood to many of the songs, there is never an abundance of quote-unquote ethereal style going on. Lovespirals compose songs, not ambient passages, with clearly defined verses, choruses, bridges, solos -- the whole nine yards. Not content to stick to simple mood pieces, they offer fine musicianship and variety in the sound and song structures of this unconventional offering. There's no easy pigeonhole for Lovespirals' music to fit into, least of all darkwave, gothic, ambient, or ethereal. Jazz is really not an apt description either, as jazz is merely one element of their songwriting. Folk is certainly also present, rock, even a bit of world music. This album doesn't cater to any one class of music genres, which makes it very refreshing to some folks, and fairly difficult for others. The fact that it doesn't live up to someone's idea of what a Projekt record -- or a Love Spirals Downwards record -- should sound like does not make it a "bad" record. This record needs to be discovered by a much broader range of music listeners to be truly appreciated for what it is; an extraordinarly brave new blend of musical genres, taking the most profound and beautiful essense of each, and wedding them in blissful harmony.
[Bad].......2002-09-25
i heard this band at projektfest and thought the music sounded cool enough so i bought the cd....got it home and didn't enjoy it...
Sultry and Sweet.......2002-09-14
Let me start off by saying that Lovespiralsdownward has been one of my favorite bands for over 10 years. Suzanne Perry's delay laden, processed vocals were wonderful. Now with that said, Windblown Kiss is not a Lovespiralsdownward album. IT'S BETTER!
What we lost with the departure Suzanne Perry, we gained in the sweet voiced Anji Bee, who really shows off her talent with some sultry Jazz vocals. As for Ryan Lum, he's still creating great music. Windblown Kiss is more eclectic than some of his recent work, and reminds me more of his first album Idylls. The tracks I like most on Windblown Kiss are "I can't see you", and the America cover "You Girl". I can't really compare Lovespirals to another artist, but I will tell you that after listening to this album I had a strong craving to listen to artist like Peggy Lee, Nina Simone, Chris Isaak, Leonard Cohen, Cocteau Twins, and Tricky.

Great CD.......2001-05-27
Generally, I shy away from "Christian" pop music, but I make an exception for the Bill Welch Band (I happen to know the guys, and have opened for a show of theirs). While the music of many Christian pop groups sounds forced and inauthentic to me, these guys' work is an undiluted look at who they are and what they believe. They also take a lot of time and care to make sure that the music they play is pure, is direct, and holds together. The band's members have some hard experience in the trenches of jazz, classical, blues, latin, R&B, and world music, and it really shows.
However, the best experience of their music is a live show.
Inspirational!.......2001-03-05
I know Bill, his wife Kathy and his brother Fred, from high school and have always been interested in Bill's music. When I heard that the band was doing a live performance, I knew I must go see it. I was caught off guard by the Christian beliefs that are very apparent in the lyrics and yet I welcomed the message whole-heartedly. I was moved by the music immediately and could not stop my foot from tapping, my hands from clapping, or somehow moving to the music. The songs are motivational and insprirational, not only in their lyrics but also in the music. The harmonies and rhythms are a wonderful combination of many different styles of music that have been successfully blended together to create a unique and awsome collection of songs. I bought the CD after the first half of the show, without even hearing all the songs, and now I listen to it almost every day. The lyrics speak to me and situations that occur in my life, while the music is up-lifting and yet soothing. Listening to 'At the Water's Edge' always improves my mood and it has become one of the favorite CDs in my collection. I can hardly wait for the next release. I am so happy for Bill, and everyone involved in the band, that the years of hard work have paid off with such extraordinary results!
Great Band, Great CD.......2001-02-09
This would be a welcome addition to many music fans' collections. It seems to span several different categories, including jazz and easy-listening rock without ever being confined to one. A sorely-needed, positive message is the only common thread.
The music encompasses many different styles, yet it has a top-notch "feel" in all areas. The band honors Bill's music and lyrics well, the production is perfect, and Bill tops it off with soulful, heartfelt vocals. It's all good.
I'm looking forward to future releases.
A Breath of Fresh Spring Air.......2001-01-08
That is the best way to describe the music of the Bill Welch Band. Having heard one of their songs being played on a local jazz/blues station I was smart enough to go and hear them in concert. I had no idea that they were going to play music with a heavy emphasis on their Christian beliefs. As a Unitarian that might have kept me away. All I can say is that I was blown away by their intense talent and spirit. They took me totally by surprise and I am now a huge fan. Their cd is top notch and would be a super addition to anyone's collection.
Yeah, T! You go, man!.......2000-12-01
Let me explain the title of this review, since it probably has quite a few people out there scratching their heads. I am a Fairport High School Alumnus, and I played in the FHS Jazz bands under the direction of Mr. Bill "T" Tiberio, prominantly featured on the Bill Welch Band's CD. That, incidentally, is how I found out about and bought the CD. About the CD: I can sum it up in only a few words: Best coupla bucks I ever spent. The Bill Welch Band has a fantastic sound. The whole thing is clean, beautiful, and has some great music (believe me, I'm a music major!). Not to mention the message is positive, which can be tough to find these days. And, as is customary whenever these guys break out the instruments, you can tell they really know their stuff. I'm seriously looking forward to the next release! Hope all of you out there enjoy this as much as I did.
