Editorial Reviews

Andrew Simon, Vibe Magazine, March 1, 2005

Conya Doss runs a neo-soul seminar on her self-released CD

Conya Doss has a voice that makes every day seem like Sunday morning.

Product Description

"Just Because" offers an escape to a crowded room filled with an organic, sensual, funky vibe from tracks one through eleven. The Groove and the licks are reminiscent of a Coltrane staccato, a Sarah Vaughn run and the comfort of a Donny Hathaway rift that just wraps around you and hold you comfortably. Oh yeah, Conya is back!

The Eleven-song disc represents an evolution of spirit. From the light, airy, danceable Opening cut "Just Because," to the smoky vibey, "Stay," to the gospel tinged, "Sweet Luv," and the hopeful aspiring, "Miracle." Conya pulls it all from her inner being and puts it on display for the world.

Ah, Conya! What a breath of fresh air in today's industry of wanna-be's and what-the-hell?'s... lol. I slept on Conya for a long time and didn't pick up her debut, A Poem About Ms. Doss until more than a year after its release (mainly because I hadn't heard of her and the CD was so hard to find where I am). I heard about her from a friend... I took a huge risk and man am I glad I did. When I heard the voice reminiscent of a combination between Mary J. Blige and Lauryn Hill and the fact that her songs actually had lyrical content devoid of "do me now" and "lick me here", I became an instant fan. Just Because picks up flawlessly where A Poem leaves off and she utilizes the same formula that worked the first time around. I must admit that I like the version of the title track on the Soul Lounge Compilation album a little better, but I can't complain with the solid material on the album. "Stay" and "What Should I Do" are also album highlights. Conya may never be in Billboard's Top 10 but I'll be damned if she doesn't deserve to be.

I was introduced to this phenomenal young lady at a house party, where she actually sang live for one of my friends whom she used to work with or what have you......she is a great performer, she has a great sultry voice that captures you and sends you soaring to the clouds, her music is inspiring and funny, and it makes you laugh at yourself and life in general, it made me think how did she see into my house when I was actually doing exactly what the song "STAY" says......lol
She takes you spinning around on a whirlwind of emotions and I am glad I had a chance to ride her musical rollercoaster...

From the start, I'm finicky when it comes to my music. Not many people have the priviledge of entering my CD player to entertain my ears. Conya is one of the few who has, and remained there until I purchased her first CD. Hands down, this CD beats any ONE "popular song" played on the radio!!!!! If you have not purchased this CD, stop reading this review and go get it. You will not be sorry. From play to finish you will be pleasantly surprised. I HIGHLY recommend this CD.
