“I first found out about this band at Green Door’s Jazz night back in September. Prince had just jumped in on their set. This album will take us to the next level of soul!”
Signature Los Angeles Magazine
“JT and Robin only wish they were gifted enough to transform sultry folk melodies and lush R&B rhythms into the comfort and expressiveness of sensual blues-inspired rock and soul.”
LA2DAY
“Smith’s sultry and quivering voice is sure to seduce and impress”
Flavorpill
“We were elated with not only his confident presence but his vocal ability and matchless control which defy comparison: He seemed to know instinctively to move away from the mic and yet get the notes across needed to express the emotion. Smith shows significant Stevie Wonder and Sam Cooke influences with perhaps some Joe Cocker thrown in for good measure without being restrained as a “cover” musician.”
