"If you appreciate the great talent of Althea Rene, you will love this cd. The track selections are well produced and performed. The cd has only 9 tracks and is worth the price. However, I think that her fans are going to want to have more tracks on the next cd. Her talent is definately capable of affording her fans of at least 10-12 tracks per cd. You cannot go wrong with this cd. Great job!!!!!!"

"Sexy flute diva Althea Rene strikes gold again, with her newest release, NO RESTRICTIONS. This former Wayne County, Michigan Deputy Sheriff, now a dynamic full-time recording, performing, and touring artist, takes the flute to new heights of sensuality and groovitude with this CD, creating a delicious urban contemporary sound with a jazzy, R&B vibe. Think of it as "Quiet Storm" kicked up a notch! Her well-chosen set list for this project includes two outstanding covers ("I Love Your Smile" and "Wishing on a Star") plus a seductive, languid read on the immortal Gershwin classic "Summertime." The other six tracks are originals, penned in part by Althea herself and her producers, including Grammy winner Michael Broening and Grammy nominee Rex Rideout. The title track, also the lead single from this album, sets an impressive pace for an outstanding collection of music. Althea Rene's NO RESTRICTIONS is a no-brainer. Go for it! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN"
Absolutely fabulous!

"After previewing this cd on line, I was somewhat impressed. Then, after I got it home, popped it in my cd player in my truck and listened....all I could say was WOW! I had to take it out of the cd player and make sure it was the one I thought. Ms. Rene is absolutely fabulous! Get your ears ready, get this cd, pump the volume and be prepared to be taken away by this smmoth jazz artist. I am a fan of Ms. Althea Rene....YOU GO GURL!"
WE LIKE THAT ! !
