Copasetik & Cool was featured in Essence magazine in April or May and it received high praise. I decided to take a chance on the group because I am a TRUE MUSIC LOVER. I was not disappointed at dropping $14.31 on this cd. It got heavy rotation in my apartment. Hilary's voice is melodic and the beats are mellow. This is the perfect cd to play while you and your honey are chilling on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Copasetik & Cool - Hill Street Soul, October 8, 2005

Very good CD. I purchased this CD for its version of the song "For the love of you" which was originally released by the Isley Brothers. I discovered some other nice tracks like Pieces, Blue Tears, and Think Again. I wonder why I wasn't aware of this CD's existence, until I researched a song that was played on a jazz radio station.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovin' this CD to "Pieces", February 5, 2005

I bought "Copasetik & Cool" on a whim back in March '04, lured only by the cover photo of Hil St. Soul's beautiful lead singer, Hilary Mwelwa. Little did I know that this impulse purchase would become one of my favorite albums of 2004 (I know - I'm a little late). Equal parts Whitney Houston (the good parts) and India.Arie, Hil St. Soul is a UK R&B band who easily weaves from classic soul to jazz to hip hop without (literally) missing a beat. All songs on "Copasetik & Cool" are well done, especially the standout track "Pieces," an exceptional cover of "For The Love of You," and the title track (which sounds just like Soul II Soul). I can't wait for more from this talented group, and am glad to have learned that, once in a while, you can judge a book by its cover.
