INDUSTRY/MEDIA QUOTES ABOUT ESSENCE::
"What's wrong with you Essence? I know we are in a kinda secure zone, a safe zone ! If the apocolypse had come and zombies wandered the streets we could hold up here in the pod, but err I don't know that I could last long with you. You sound very veracious! "
Alex Zane (ref - Myspace Mars Planets Radio show ft Essence)
"Dirty Habit made a big splash recently with Dash & Samurai and Agent Alvin, and the ethereal vocal loveliness of Subsenix ft. Essence’ ‘Drop In The Ocean’ will be getting people damp in the pants region too no doubt; if you’re a fan of slickly produced and epic sounding Drum & Bass then this one for you. Krooked gets bent on the flip with his own very ‘Serious Sound’ and a proper mashup it is too, powerful beats and bass for the floor. Biggles!
"
Nu-Urban Music (ref - Drop In The Ocean)
"The ability of a track to make you sing along is a quality that comes out either when played on computer speakers for personal enjoyment or on the dancefloor for everyone to hear. Synrgy's Sundown mix of Embers has just that infectious quality; the beautiful vocals grip you at first listen and don't let go until the massive synth and crashing break have taken you away from the half-tempo meter and dense ambience to "dance your ass off land". This tune is one for that ladies that all the guys want to hear.
"
In Da Jungle Recordings (ref - Virus Vs Essence Embers (Synrgy's Sundown mix)
"The first track (Tomorrow's Another Day) is an artful Progressive House song featuring Essence whose talent is as hot as her looks. "

Hey Ess
I have a present 4 u. Really hope you like it
Lately ive been tidying up my music history [because in all honesty i dont know whats around the corner] so ive remade the [AngelEss Remix] of Sweet Angel because the other version i did was when i was at my poorliest b4 the transplant, and i never really got on with it so while im feeling so well, i thought i would redo it and promote us both in a video at the same time. [Not that you need it miss star xxx]
Anyway i really hope ive done ok doing this, if not then you know where to find me to tell me off hehe
Hello you glad to hear your still alive lol my Halloween weekend was pretty good lots of treats from trick or treating going on & egging ppl from a secret window I know it's childish hope your your ok,I might get a call from you one day aye lol tc L xxx
Hey up Es! How's things? I hope all is well! Thanks for stopping by a while back. It was nice hearing from you. So, are you back in the studio? Maybe I'll get to post up all sorts of new videos on my page and the like if you know what I mean. I'm really hoping that you'll team up with Contayjen for another ViralEssence production. I really think the two of you have got some extraordinary talent and it seems like you "muse" each other if u know what I mean.
:Peace:Out Hun! I quit flirting so no kisses but I'll make an exception if you wanna come visit! ;) Just little xoxo's for peeps till I get my life (and my back) sorted -- which doesn't look like it'll be any time soon. :3m :))
