AMERICA’S REPLY TO JOSS STONE, AND THEN SOME...Every once in a while a voice comes along that makes you stop, rewind and listen, rewind again and REALLY listen, then put down what you were doing, rewind one more time, sit down, and give it your full attention. Alex Nester is an amazing new singer-songwriter with soul beyond her years, and an instrument most singers only dream about. She's found a perfect collaborator and producer in Robby Robinson - these tracks sparkle with honesty, feeling, and GREAT musical choices. My personal favorite track is BEGGIN' -- as JERSEY BOYS music director, I eat sleep and breathe this song, but Alex and Robby have managed to give it about seven twists and turn it into something brand new. Big cheers all around -- I'm playing these tracks for friends and colleagues, spreading the word...”
