"...the music sounds new, fresh... this group is creating the new sound on the horizon. The way CROSBY gets into your soul leaving you in a better state than you were before, the way PONCÉ envelopes your heart bringing you to an emotion you've remembered in your past, the groove and feel the entire band creates taking the audience to another level of music, of soulful nuances and rhythmic excitement..."
