"What goes into making a hit record? I think first and foremost, passion and desire. Then a strong, well thought out strategy for exceptional songs, vibrant talent, and mad production skills. If one of these ingredients is weak, then the recipe is only as strong as that weakness. The new self-titled debut from Nyee ("nigh-ee") Moses is an example of what a hit record sounds like when all of the elements are in place. Let's look at Team Nyee... producers/co-writers Marquis "Hami" Dair and Susan Youngblood complete the triad with Nyee Moses as a dynamic threesome that has a knack for song writing and evocative programming and production. Up front and center, the beautiful Ms. Moses... a cool chanteuse who weaves in seductive, soulful vocal textures of nu-jazz, urban groove, and chilled Smooth Jazz. Her rich, deep and sophisticated subtle vocal meanderings bring to mind Sade and Tracy Thorn (Everything But The Girl). NYEE MOSES is a hit record... I'm not alone in this opinion. R&R's Carol Archer finds Nyee's voice intriguing and hard to shake while the Groove Boutique's Rafe Gomez calls the project a refreshing audio journey. Special guest voices and musicians take this musical outing over the top: Otmaro Ruiz, Rene Toledo, Talaya Trigueros, and Hubert Laws among others. Favorite tracks for me include the smooth radio single, "Between Us," the loungeliscious "Vanilla," which is as exotic as the syrup of Madagascar, and the sensual, trip hop "Stay." This hit record guarantees you smooth summer listening. ~SANDY SHORE"

"I fell in love with this artist when she came out with her first single "Between Us". I was like, wow, what a sultry voice and an amazing talent. Sometimes artists come out with that first hit, and you think, "OK, how's the rest of the album?" I was impressed with everything she did. Her collaberation is incredible. I see the same longevity as Sade."
Simply Fabulous!

"Nyee Moses, a newcomer into the NeoSoul/Smooth Jazz arena, has created a wonderful CD that I wish would get more airplay these days. The song "Between Us" has made a lot of noise on the radio (although I only hear it on the Smooth Jazz stations), as well as it should. But there are so many others on the CD (like No Limits and Vanilla) that are destined to be hits. It's been a hard to find in the Chicagoland area, so give Amazon your money on this one!!!"
