NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Elliott Yamin's latest album 'Fight For Love' (Hickory Records) is drawing praise with favorable comparisons to both Usher and Ne-Yo. Here's what the critics are saying: "A vibe not far from Usher's 'Love in this Club'...the brooding R&B jam [Fight for Love] is totally radio-ready." A- Entertainment Weekly "Cuts like the title track and the Stargate-produced 'Don't Be Afraid' find him smoothly moving in on Ne-Yo." People "Soaring over a laid-back, smooth R&B beat, his vocals capture the essence of being in love." Billboard "Bursts with soul, emotion...The title track floats with a irresistible combination of husky emotion blanketed in Yamin's silky voice." Richmond Times Dispatch "Starts off on a smooth note and doesn't let up as it ranges from soulful to funky to just downright inspirational....the entire CD shows a more mature Elliott in songwriting, song choice and especially, vocal quality. I'm not sure his voice has ever sounded better and all of these songs do a great deal to showcase it." Huntington Herald-Dispatch
