Review

She channels dance-floor divas of the past with subtle but effective nods to everyone from Cathy Dennis and Taylor Dayne to Billie Ray Martin, Exposé, and Janet Jackson...Some album highlights are Like That a song Jennifer Lopez could only aspire to record and Didnt Ya Think a relentless throbbing update of Keep Me Hangin On. Alyson also gets my vote for her vocal restraint. Alyson has a powerful and subtle instrument but she employs none of the over-the-top histrionics to which others with her abilities fall victim. --Frontiers Magazine - July 5, 2005

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Performer -- A Rising Star!, April 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Take A Good Look (Audio CD)

I saw Alyson perform in Los Angeles a few days ago and she was UNBELIEVABLE! She is the real deal, a beautiful, powerful voice and she dances better than any singer out there. You can tell when she sings that she really means it, really has emotion behind it -- probably since she wrote all the songs herself. I picked up her CD at the show & haven't stopped listening to it!! Alyson is gonna be the next HUGE star, I know it, & I can say I saw her at the beginning of it all!!!

Great dance CD. Weird thing is, instead of sequencing this disc with all the album tracks first and the "bonus tracks and remixes" last, this disc is a big mix up where repeat songs come back in new mixes, and it's an odd selection of extended versions and edits. The extended rosario mix of Feel You is also on the CD single, so nothing new here if you have that. The big deal with this disc is the long hex hector vocal mix of Nothin More to Say, which was not included on the cd single. You get a couple more edits of remixes of the singles, as well as the long rosario dub of What're you gonna do, plus a short remix of Take a Good Look. The next remix single, perhaps??? Definitely pick this one up and add it to your dance collection. Track times:

1. Feel You (ralphi rosario club mix) (8:20)
2. Nothin More To Say (Hex Hector mix) (8:05)
3. What're You Gonna Do (Ralphi Rosario radio mix) (3:49)
4. baby come back (3:35)
5. take a good look (Randolph club edit) (3:47)
6. like that (3:30)
7. without you (2:54)
8. hard to get (2:53)
9. what're you gonna do (ralphi rosario dub) (8:17)
10. feel you (4:13)
11. didn't ya think (3:55)
12. take a good look (3:47)
13. what're you gonna do (4:53)
14. forever (3:58)
15. nothing more to say (4:14)

5.0 out of 5 stars Alyson is THE BEST dance/pop/r&b diva!!!, March 14, 2004

I heard Alyson's song "Baby Come Back" at a club in NY & LOVED it, great beat & lyrics, very original dance/R&B sound. I couldn't believe that she wrote the song herself and also all the other songs on her album. This girl can write & SING, which most "artists" in her style of music just can't do. There's so much variety on her CD that I listen to it all the time, it's got so many different flavors from dance to R&B, soul, pop, reggae, you name it. I love the way her voice sounds so emotionally-charged on each track, from sexy soulful ballads to powerful dance tracks, her voice moves you with emotion & energy. Every track on the CD is amazing, esp. Take A Good Look, RU Sorry, Forever, Baby Come Back, What're You Gonna Do & Hard To Get. Her website says she's coming out with a club remix album soon, I can't wait!!!
