REVIEWS FOR THERESA'S FIRST ALBUM:
Strong Latin influences define a musical palette of modern/alternative folk speckled with jazz and other indefinables redolent of Ani Difranco. Spiritually charged lyrics layered with beatboxes and scats give Perez a sound uniquely satisfying.

5 out of 5 stars Tea Is Hot!
Reviewer: Craig Thompson

Among my favorite tracks are "grateful grapefruit" and "morning dew"... I like vocals and lyrics that have meaning. Which is why I also like Billie Holliday, Sara Vaughan, Ella, and many, many others. When you sing it's from the heart. I'm not a musician and cannot technically deconstruct a song to verbalize why I like it, so it's all about the feeling...

5 out of 5 stars
The culmination of the cultivation of the love dance wave
Reviewer: S. Beck
This CD puts you right in the room with some hot musicians laying down original grooves, and belting it out in a velvety roar. I'd give anything to jam along with this crew.

5 out of 5 stars A must have for any fun-seeking humanist
Reviewer: A. Fox
Teresa Perez and friends are giving us a gift with the recording of this CD, its dynamic rich sounds are creatively paired with witty happy love notes for the heart.

5 out of 5 stars cunning, avant-garde and stealth.
Reviewer: Yuan Inc.
This music lifts you to a place you have never been or have long forgotten. Spiritual, transcendant and moving. The slippery collaboration of funk and genuine soul is fullfilling and moving. Especially "the tea is hot."

5 out of 5 stars Vibrant, pervasively elegant...
Reviewer: J. Kelly
"Theresa Perez's unique gift is her propensity for captivation--vibrant, never verbose, Ms. Perez's music is as pervasively elegant and unaffected as the artist herself." ~Jette Kelly Marketing Manager of Ova Records, Washington, DC www.holmesives.com www.jette-ives.com www.ovarecords.com

5 out of 5 stars Spiritual, with a pop sensibility
Reviewer: morningstar
The songs are groovy, funky and hip - progressive, yet folk at their core. Lyrics and vibe are of a spiritual nature or atleast authentic and soulful, but the music is all-encompassing. Anyone can listen to it and enjoy it. Highly recommend REPEATED listening...worth BUYING!

5 out of 5 stars
Reviewer: LaRoche
Loved the CD. Especially the song "Tea is Hot"!

5 out of 5 stars Cool, original, sexy music
Reviewer: Marybeth Svadhaa Weinstock
The music is cool, fun to listen to, gets you moving, and also gets you thinking. It's intelligent, original music. Also very sexy and slinky. Theresa's voice is filled with confidence and an expression that is so personal, you feel she's letting you into her world as you listen to the music. It's a world you want to hear about...the world of the heart...interpreted through a very creative, witty, artistic intelligence. And very danceable. Love it.

Sounds Like "The music Theresa Perez makes is funky, soulful, and richly vocal. It gives you the sense that every word is sung with a smile, alternately sultry, mischievous, playful, and contemplative. While she has catchy hooks, her eclectic sensibility keeps her from falling into pop convention. It's rare that someone so talented is also so down to earth, and working with Theresa has been a joy for everyone who has worked with her here at Ex'pression College."

A one-word description of Theresa Perez is “multifaceted.” This young artist is as versatile on stage as she is in the studio and in her musical expression. From singing and playing the guitar to roaring on the piano or becoming lost on the rhythm of the drum, her stage presence captures you and invites you in to the mystery of spontaneous creativity. Pick a genre – from Hip Hop to Samba to Gospel - and it is likely this performer has fused it into one of her original compositions, lyrics or beat boxes. She has already written and produced her own album and 2 others from past band experiences with an EP on the way. Her comfort in the studio is extraordinary, and her willingness to learn from her elders is inexhaustible. Venture into her world – it is a unique offering that will leave you in bliss and peace, excitement and enthusiasm for life…

Hola Theresa,

SUNDAY TIMES CALLS 6/11 SHOW A "BEST BET"

Good news: the Sunday Contra Costa Times rated my June 11 show at the Plough & Stars a "best bet" (page D5, May 25). They even put my pic next to Death Cab for Cutie and Brad Paisley. Not bad company to be in ...

As the paper says: "Berkeley musician Steve Taylor-Ramírez takes his Latin-infused neo-folk, across the Bay to San Francisco's Plough and Stars pub, 9 p.m. 116 Clement St. Free. (415) 751-1122, http://www. theploughandstars. com."

We hope you can make it. Espero que allá nos vemos.
