"It is a shame that talent of this magnitude is "hidden". I have been a follower of Hidden Beach (ever since anticipating Jill Scott's release) and each time they take my musical experience to another level. This release no doubt continues that musical feeding. There is nothing vulgar, lewd, or fluffy about this joint - just music. Tracks 1,2,3 and 4 were like kool-aid on a St. Louis summer day in July. Track 15 (7Destinee7's French presentation of "C'EST DURS") just blew me away. I don't understand what she is saying but she can tell me anything I would believe - her delivery was that passionate and convincing. Don't be fooled by the 17 tracks listed on the album cover - there are two other tracks listed on the insert and they too are pleasant listening. Check out this album if you yearn for true talent and music for your soul."
This cd is hot

"I love this cd. This is exactly what we need to hear. I really respect what Hidden Beach records is trying to do within the music industry. They are truly getting back to real singing with emotion, love respect and pure raw talent. I have been a fan since Jill Scott. All of these talents need to be played main stream. I am telling everybody I know to go out and buy this cd and visit the Hidden beach website to support these artist. I love this cd this will be around a longtime just like everything else that is released from Hidden Beach. Keep making beautiful music for true music lovers who truly are on a Hidden Beach."

"HIDDDEN HITS VOL.1 IS THE TIGHTEST CD I EVER HEARD. ALL THE ARTISTS ON THERE DESERVES A RECORD CONTRACT. I SPECIALLY LOVE THAT SONG, "I CAN'T GET U OFF MY MIND" BY ROSIE GAINES. THAT SONG WILL BE A POPULAR STEPPING SONG IN STEPPING SETS OF CHICAGO.
HIDDEN BEACH RECORDINGS IS THE NEW ERA OF R&B AND NEO-SOUL MUSIC.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND PUT ROSIE GAINES ON THE MAP AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!!!"
RAW AND COURAGEOUS

"THIS IS IT! THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD HAS BEEN NEEDING. HIDDEN BEACH RECORDINGS HAS DONE IT AGAIN. THEY HAVE ALLOWED THE WORLD A CHANCE TO HEAR RAW TALENT AT ITS BEST. ONCE AGAIN THEY HAVE MASTERFULLY BROUGHT TOGEHTER TWO, IF NOT MORE, WORLDS OF MUSIC...HIP-HOP AND JAZZ WITH A BLEND OF FUNK. THE CATCH IS NONE OF THE ACTS ARE SIGNED TO MAJOR RECORD LABEL - WITH THE EXCEPTION OF JAMEL. HAVING PRECONCEPTIONS OF WHAT THIS JOINT WAS GOING TO SOUND LIKE, I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD ONLY BE FOR MY "WIND-DOWN" TIME. BUT AFTER PLAYING A COUPLE OF THE TRACKS,I FIND MYSELF TURNING IT ON FOR ALL OCCASIONS. IM TELLING YOU, THIS JOINT IS HOT! BOUNCE YA HEAD WITH HIDDEN BEACH "HIDDEN HITS""
