Here’s some quotes from Tony’s review…able to be found on The Screen Door’s blog and Antimusic.com, a site with 3 million readers a month. Writer Anthony Kuzminski is a world-reknowned reviewer, articulate and graphic with his reviews and known for his unique and genuine style. Throughout his career, he has reviewed bands such as U2, No Doubt, Guns N’ Roses, Talking Heads, and thousands more. Please go to the above links for the entire review:
“…It’s unlikely you’ll hear any album in the next year whose rock and soul architecture sounds this fresh….”
“….Soraia are not hopping on any bandwagons, they merely check vintage classic rock riffs and find a way to swathe them into a package that is intoxicating and enthralling. There is a profound depth to the lyrics which are enhanced by the layered roars of guitars that make you yearn for a time where albums and artists ruled the landscape…..”
“….As Mansour belts out the title track, her voice crows with an immediate and defiant pulse which is nothing short of pulverizing. Her vocal styling’s are a throwback to the past but what’s integral is that she is well aware of the rich tradition of singers who have come before her as she reaches back further than just one decade but five decades to the inner workings of Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett before recording her dynamic, soulful and mesmerizing vocals….”
A huge thank you to Chicago-based writer/reviewer, Tony Kuzminski.
