What the critics are saying about

RiZen:

Lisa Collins – Billboard Magazine – raved about the quartet in the May 17 issue of Billboard, saying, “Magic moments:  They are too few and far between.  Those moment of ‘right timing’ when an act performs before the right crowd (of industry power players) and evokes just the right response – everyone site up and takes notice.  Artist like Kirk Franklin, Hezekia Walker and most recently Smokie Norful, have all had them.  Now, you can add RiZen to that short list.”

“These four sister really turned the Light Records private showcase out!  I thought gospel’s queen, Albertina Walker was about to jump out of her chair as they sang.” - Jawn Murray – Celebrity Journalist

 “I first heard RiZen at an impromptu pizza party in a warehouse somewhere in south Nashville.  Singing to a smattering of industry bigwigs, media wags, and dockworkers, with nothing but a boom box for accompaniment, for the four young ladies that comprise the group proceed to rip the wallpaper off the walls.  One word impaled itself on my frontal lobe, ‘Tight!’ 

A few weeks later, while listening to the pre-release of their self-titled, national debut project (on uber-producer Sanchez Harley’s upstart Chez Musique Records), that word refuses to relent.  These girls are tight!” - Paula K.
