5.0 out of 5 stars Shame on the majors, February 23, 2007

I've been listening to Ms. Doss since 2004, when I purchased XM Radio. I was amazed that I'd never heard anything before. Yeah, alot of people compare her to the "well-knowns", but the arrangements that she's capable of and her smoky vocals are head and shoulders above many that we claim lead the "neo-soul" revolution. Don't get me wrong, I love Jill, India and all the likes, but every now and then a lyrical genius moves among the crowd and quickly gets dismissed by all of the over-commercialization (smile) of a genre. Conya Doss's music is just straight up soul...anything she would attempt to put into a musical category accepted by all would diminish her shine. She sings of this wholeheartedly and honestly in "Only Be Me"...and I wouldn't want her any other way.

Please lets stop sleeping on artists of their own design. There's music waiting for our ears and soul.

4.0 out of 5 stars Conya Doss Puts It Down Once More!, February 8, 2007

I've been listening to Conya Doss for some time now. She exploded on the underground music scene back in 2002 with A Poem About Ms. Doss and later followed that album up with an equally impressive sophomore disc titled Just Because in 2004. You would think after two magnificent albums that the labels would come knocking down her door to sign her. But this special needs teacher from Cleveland settled for sold out nightclubs and a modest following instead. Fans of her work pondered if they would be delighted with another soulful helping from the songstress. Luckily for us, Conya Doss isn't through with music quite yet. Her latest album Love Rain Down is just as strong as her previous two offerings.

"Tell Me Why" questions the motives behind hurting a lover's heart. "Find A Way" tells about the long-standing adage that there's brighter days beyond any storms that you encounter throughout your life. "Call Me" is a more up-tempo song that just has a fun vibe to enjoy. "Let You Know" reverts back to a more familiar sound with drawn out notes and soft-spoken words. "Only Be Me" is an inspirational song on being truthful about who you are and appreciating the gift of being a unique individual. "Sign" is an acoustic melody that is grounded with simplicity yet soars with emotion.

"Those Wur The Dayz" reflects back on the good times of yesteryear. "Love Rain Down" is a mid-tempo, free-flowing tune about embracing love. "The One" is a mellow cut on knowing that certain someone is the right person for you. She continues that same sentiment on "Beautiful Thing" when she explains that love conquers all. "Nevermind" is a tale about moving on from a relationship that wasn't going anywhere fast. "Why Did You?" is a Caribbean-flavored tune about somebody getting caught up in their own web of deceit. The album closes with the self-explanatory song "Get On My Nerves."

Love Rain Down is more of the same from Conya Doss. Luckily for her (and for us)...that's a good thing.

Conya Doss - Love Rain Down (Conyadosssongs, 2006)

It seems like Conya Doss's vocals improve with every album. Her last album, Just Because, is a hard act to follow but there are still some strong songs here. "Only Be Me" is my favorite song while the Myron-produced ones like "Tell Me Why" and the title track are also great. The only songs I didn't like that much were "Call Me" and "Get on My Nerves". For the latter, Conya could have picked a better guy to sing with than the one featured here. But Conya still shines and I have no idea why isn't more well known. -EJR
