You are one helluva, singer, composer and musicians. It is the best vocal CD that I have heard in a very very long time. It is not only a great musical production but I don't recall ever experiencing a program so powerful.

You really cover a lot of ground, from inside the heart to global hope and brotherhood. Your writing has real depth and new feeling I haven't heard before, harmonic richness and soulfulness, but it's so rooted at the same time. Genius...and diversity too!

- Jon Burr  Bassist

A breath of fresh air... A Jazz vocalist with some soul.

- Jon Norton, WGLT Radio

In these days of so many green and just plain “not ready” singers being afforded recording opportunities, its great to hear someone with true vocal skills who brings some real life experience to the table… loves found, loves lost, life lived and just plain life-informed pathos to invest in a lyric… and really mean it!  Cynthia Scott definitely brings it on this new release and certainly the ancestor Ray Charles would deeply approve!

 - Willard Jenkins

Cynthia Scott is a songstress who can deliver her craft with a warm but powerful message.  She is soulful and sensuous, with a lot of class and sophistication.  With her new CD and original compositions, she delivers to the listeners a phenomenal sound.

Honest - Clear -  Hopeful

A dream you dream alone is only a dream

Because

If we can dream it, we can do it

Find your dream, learn how to create your dream, and then put your heart into building that dream.  You’ll be amazed at what you can do.
