That light is Felicia Alima." - [i]Ya' Heard Magazine (CD REVIEW) August/Sept 2006 Issue [/i] "With a smooth alto tone and a subtle sultry energy in her delivery, Felicia Alima is a fresh new voice in local R&B. Her debut EP [The Way We Do], featuring smooth R&B jams interwoven with a club remix, is a fantastic introduction to the voice of this Australian born diva. The harmonies are striking and delicate and the production is very tight and full, with acoustic guitars winding through full kick tones and techy snares." - [i]Ricks Café (CD REVIEW) June 2006 Issue[/i]
