Editorial Reviews

"Robin Avery delivers a smash hit...slick, crisp production, fresh and cool vocals...Robin's sultry voice lends itself effortlessly to her lyrics about loving, living, and thriving." -Sandy Shore, smoothjazz.com Review 5/1/05 "With this third recording titled The Way You Hold Me, her warm, romantic vocals are complemented by the sounds of contemporary jazz greats who have performed with such major talents as David Sanborn, Aretha Franklin, and Weather Report. These incredibly talented musicians add another dimension to Robin Avery's captivating vocals, which are a brilliant fusion of R&B and pop jazz". -Paula Edelstein, allmusic.com Review 7/25/05 "Just this afternoon while I auditioned a growing stock of new releases, I popped in Robin Avery f/Warren Hill's "Drive" (Green Eyes Music). Avery's a new artist to me - a damned good one, too! .........Carol Archer- Radio & Records In her second full-length CD, and her label debut for OarFin, smooth jazz recording artist, singer/songwriter Robin Avery offers her captivating fusion of R&B/Pop, with lyrical reflections on life and love. The debut single, Drive, features top contemporary jazz saxophonist Warren Hill and was among the "most added" tracks at smooth jazz radio upon its release, Hailing from South Florida, Robin, mother of three children, and partner in life, love and music with her producer, keyboardist Paul Banman, is a rare artist, whose music and words offer images of what we want our lives to be, and who we aspire to become. Her songs cover the joys and pangs of men and woman who are trying to connect, separate, or find their own meanings.

Robin Avery's new album "The Way You Hold Me" is a jazz lover's must-have! Her unique fusion of R&B, Pop and Smooth Jazz is a delight to listen to, and her inspiring lyrics about life and love can capture any listener's heart. Internationally acclaimed smooth jazz artist Warren Hill lends his talents on Robin's cover of the Cars' hit "Drive," one of my personal favorites on the record. If you're a fan of Sade, Carole King, or just love great jazz music, you should definitely check out this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars Robin Avery 'The Way You Hold Me' Album, September 27, 2005

This review is from: Way You Hold Me (Audio CD)

Robin Avery's "The Way You Hold Me" album offers listeners refreshing insight what human relationships are all about. I enjoyed her tunes especially after a tough day at work. Driving down the highway with your sun roof open makes you appreciate and count your blessings i.e. good weather, a loving spouse, children, food on the table, and a roof over your head. It's so easy to forget all these beautiful gifts so endearing to us all - her songs will remind you time and time that life and time together is to be treasured and appreciated. "Kiss me in the rain" invokes memories so long ago forgotten - remember your first date? Or your first kiss? "What was on your mind" invokes feelings that one cannot be too complacent with personal relationships. Like everything else in life, you get what you give in. The "Little Girl" will remind you that although we have adult bodies and mind, our childhood memories are never too far from us. R. Avery's album is so cool - way to go, Robin!

Another Robin.

This review is from: Way You Hold Me (Audio CD)

Breathy lyrics filter through jazzy soundscapes in a breezy solitude. The songs are sensuous and healing and have a sexy "I'm Free" attitude. Robin Avery is a true romantic who sweeps you away into her world. If you love smooth jazz or relaxing albums to take you away from the stress of life, this is perfect to listen to in the afternoon or evening.
