Editorial Reviews
The Phantom Tollbooth, 2005
Avion Blackman's "I Love You Father" from her album "Onyinye" sweeps you off your feet...

Product Description
From the band Christafari comes Avion Blackman with a sound described as Sade meets Norah Jones with world music undertones. Acoustic guitar in hand, she ventures on a musical journey to glorify Jesus Christ through song. With stunning lyrical and vocal sincerity, Avion brings forth an emotional album steeped in ethnic textures pleasing to the ears and satisfying to the soul.

The subtle world music influences from this native Trinidadian add spice to this uniquely flavored album. Her vocals caress a captivating blend of folk, jazz, reggae, African, Indian, soca, R&B, jamoo and jungle to craft a meditative musical masterpiece. Avion's songs are stripped back to their essential elements (voice, melody, and meticulously arranged instrumentation); resonating in the heart and in the head long after the last note has fallen silent.

RECOMMENDED IF YOU LIKE: (Christian): Sixpence none the Richer, Christafari & Jennifer Knapp.

(Mainstream): Sade, Norah Jones, Gigi & Zap Mama.

Jamaica, baby!!.......2003-11-03

I first heard this CD while on a road trip with a girlfriend. She got it in a discount bin just for the heck of it. Well, we both really loved it, so I finally bought my own copy. The music of DP2 is called raggamuffin -- think Beanie Man. The beats are infectious -- you can't help but bob your head or tap your foot. The lyrics are so rapidfire on most tracks that you just are amazed! I mean, I can't understand how people can roll so many words off their tongues so fast! It's difficult to understand the words on most songs, primarily because it's got the whole Jamaican lingo goin' on, but the main idea is fairly clear.

All the songs have great beats, great lyrics, great melodies, and awesome harmonies. An awesome CD for cruisin' or for dancing. It also tends to keep me in a good mood when things are going bad. :) Good investment for sure, even if it's not your usual style. If you're interested in expanding your musical library...this is a good CD to start with. :)
