"Contemporary soul from Laura Jane -- a west coast diva who gets some great production help here from Blackball Universe! Laura's got a vocal style that's sweet and light -- but nicely held down to earth through an assortment of heavier beats and keys that give the album a strong contemporary crossover feel. Titles include the glistening "Summertime In The City", which has some nicely changed-up rhythms -- plus the tracks "Laura Left", "The Call", "The Journey", "Domino Effect", and "The Buzz"."_____________________________________________________

"One stand-out number was a sexy duet with backup singer, Laura, who delivered a powerful version of the Whitney Houston duet "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" as the two artists...." - 'LA RITMO.COM'__________________________________________________
_______________________MTV INDIA REVIEW "Things got steamy when backing vocalist Laura joined in on "Could I Have This Kiss Forever," which combined with her competent voice and bootylicious body (Enrique slipped his hand inside her sarong) made the evening hotter than it already was. Much screaming and yelling from teenage/old/young boys."______________________________________________________
