If Janis Joplin Cream-ed Jimi Hendrix after feeding The Seeds to her
Yardbirds then walked into The Doors of a Led Zeppelin concert on
the Black Sabbath and began Rolling Stones at Sly and the Family
Stone. Annnnd... she went to bed with a bump on her head while listening to a
Soundgarden of AC/DC: That's the Who's who of what we sound like....

Here's some quotes from Tony's review...able to be found on The Screen Door's blog and Antimusic.com, a site with 3 million readers a month. Writer Anthony Kuzminski is a world-reknowned reviewer, articulate and graphic with his reviews and known for his unique and genuine style. Throughout his career, he has reviewed bands such as U2, No Doubt, Guns N' Roses, Talking Heads, and thousands more. Please go to the above links for the entire review:
"...It’s unlikely you’ll hear any album in the next year whose rock and soul architecture sounds this fresh...."
"....Soraia are not hopping on any bandwagons, they merely check vintage classic rock riffs and find a way to swathe them into a package that is intoxicating and enthralling. There is a profound depth to the lyrics which are enhanced by the layered roars of guitars that make you yearn for a time where albums and artists ruled the landscape....."
"....As Mansour belts out the title track, her voice crows with an immediate and defiant pulse which is nothing short of pulverizing. Her vocal styling’s are a throwback to the past but what’s integral is that she is well aware of the rich tradition of singers who have come before her as she reaches back further than just one decade but five decades to the inner workings of Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett before recording her dynamic, soulful and mesmerizing vocals...."
A huge thank you to Chicago-based writer/reviewer, Tony Kuzminski.
Hello SORAIA, Whenever I listen to your music. I feel like singing too. But your talent is unmatched. How much time you spend to rehearse per day SORAIA? Love ya. Di PS:Follow Me Twitter at http://twitter.com/iaent
It is I Thunder the doorman at your favorite Texas gig Garys spot. God it was so awesome having you guys come back again and again I love you guys and I have been listening to your cd non-stop I wish you guys the best and hope that you guys always do what is in the best interest of your idiom.
If you received an add request from someone else called Black Velvet in the last couple of days, they are nothing to do with us. Looks like they are adding everyone in our top friends though, grrr!!
hey y'all. great time down at Gary's Spot in Texas. let us know if you ever want to come to Austin and want to gig together. I can probably help set up if needed.
