"CeyJay confidently navigates himself in writing music based on experiences and feelings and not worrying about what people want to hear. Unlike huge artists who focus on the same ol' message, CeyJay pours his heart and soul into creating a solid, sophisticated piece of work. It's great that he can tell a story in a single song and make it so powerful. Anyone who doesn't listen to this CD will miss something truly unique and dynamic."

Great hooks AND stories

"Two things greatly missing from music today are lyrics that tell you some kind of story (somebody got paid to write "Bye Bye Bye" over and over?) AND hooks that aren't gimicks repeated ad nauseum with deadening effect. This fresh release has both. I've found myself driving down the street and little bits and pieces of his songs will pop into my head and I find myself WANTING to hear the entire song again. As for the lyrics, they are open enough that I think everyone will have that 'I can totally relate b/c XYZ happened to me' feeling even if their interpretation is not the 'story behind the music.' This is one of those CDs that if you take the chance, you'll be really surprised."
