Release:
"A most expressive vocalist with strong, precise, and distinctive pipes, Canada incorporates R&B and jazz phrasings and mixes in her own excitement and heavy doses of confidence on this project. Alternating between classily assertive (e.g., “Welcome to My World” and “Rivertown”) to sweetly sexy and almost demure (“Attraction” and “Boaz”), Canada’s material is diverse and unique, fitting her vocal style like a glove."
Ronald Jackson, Jazz Critic / The Smooth Jazz Ride
"After listening to Nicci Canada's sultry soulful voice, I came to one conclusion; It's about time! Way too many artist sound the same, but Nicci Canada Blows that concept out of the water. The pure magic mixture of Jazz, Neo-Soul, R&B, and yes Gospel, is refreshing to say the least. I definitely recommend you buy this album."
