"The outstanding debut album from this Brooklyn throwback act recalls a time
when the city shone with glitter and cocaine."
- Blackbook
"...a fresh take on 70s disco and filtered house with a dash of funk... elevated by Ruiz's smoky, melancholic voice."
- Guardian UK
"[front woman Nomi Ruiz] could be the most alluring pop diva since Aaliyah."
-San Francisco Bay Guardian
"...the perfect soundtrack to the most stylish of transgressions on the dancefloor"
- Under the Radar
"[See The] Light showcases the talented trio's improved sound, musical variation, and keen ability to stay original and current while calling on the disco gods of the past for influence."
- PAPER Magazine
"...pop music with a disco feel and a real soulful vibe as well. We love it!"
- PerezHilton
See The Light opens with a classic-in-waiting, the behemoth of a single, "
White Horse", that forces you to move like a witch doctor would. "Champagne Bubbles" is the kind of gritty R&B that isn't afraid to be as angry as it is melancholic, its piano flourishes punctuated with a heavy kick and snare. "Prisoner Of Love," which bridges electro and freestyle, featuring a soaring vocal melody that finds Nomi and guest vocalist Antony weaving their voices around each other to a stunning effect.
Jessica 6 has been commanding dance floors for years, globetrotting from London to Miami, San Francisco to Santiago, Bergen to Belgrade, seduce the dancing, sweaty masses with an electrifying blend of disco, soul and R&B. In celebration of their debut release, the band hits the road once again with their hypnotic live show, kicking off with an album release show in NYC, then hitting Philadelphia before heading West for a run that includes a stop at San Francisco's Gay Pride stage.
