“After listening to "Fantasisin'" I don't miss Jam & Lewis any longer.

Wonderful! Long live soul from the land "down under" :)”

DJ SOULSWEDE (Sweden)

“I just wanted to drop you a line and say that I absolutely LOVE "I Choose U". What an amazing Soul song. Reminds me of the best of Meli'sa Morgan "Fools Paradise" or even the best of Melba Moore, during her later years on Capitol.

Great all around and rest assure, will be in my rotation in the coming months on the TX Soul scene.

Keep the Faith and much, much respect. “

peace from Texas,

"When I first took notice of the music of Confection, I naturally assumed that it would be authentic eighties music. Something by the likes of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, from Rick James, The Time or Prince, Maze, Evelyn "Champagne" King, Angela Bofill, or Teena Marie, from Janet Jackson, Change or the SOS Band or at least something out of that region. Then I realised that I had never heard the song before. It seemed kind of off to me that the production was so massive and well done. In fact, too well done for that time-period. Fat production, fat beats....A revelation"
