Refreshing

"I was invited to give this a listen. Glad I did! If you are into 'Mellow' there's a song on here for you. Connye Florance has a nice voice, smooth and sultry. I particularly like "Strange Thing" and "Memories of You". She has a bright career ahead and I'm looking forward to hearing more from her."

What?..... She's not a household word?

"This has got to be heard to be believed. It's the ultimate smooth embodiment of classic jazz.
Diana Krall, no disrespect intended, is perhaps a "great white hope" in the field, and as a result garners far more attention and regard than her voice and artistry, could they stand on their own, merit. Krall is a good singer, Connye Florance absolutely smokes!
The words are beautifully written and Kevin Madill and Leon Russell have done an excellent job of producing this album. Congratulations to all y'all."

Inviting

"Yesterday, a friend popped in Connye's cd on my player and it was so refreshing, upbeat, mellow, jazzy, reminiscent of Phyllis Hyman, and other great songstress. It was inviting in that I wanted more...each track invited me to listen closer and get to know this person and the lyrics. The music gets your attention and your feet and body snapping to it...the lyrics keep you, it's a total package. Definitely one to own and tell my friends who too are starving for a fresh new sound in dull old Music City, USA!!"
