Re Sallys' original song; "Soon Enough" "Interesting funk hybrid with Indian percussion. It is sung with the warmest dulcet tones I have heard in quite some time. This lady evokes passion around each note to tweak every last nuance of feeling from each lyric. I am amazed she hasn't been signed yet! "Russell W Elliot, Editor of "Musical discoveries" ezine says about Sallys' Ep; "We especially enjoyed both instrumental and vocal excursions. The lead is sensually sung, and evocative especially when she soars above the otherwise lush instrumental arrangements. This is a great introduction to a budding artist with a bright future. Ben Ohmhart of "Music dish" says of Sallys' 4 song EP sampler; "At times sounding like Barbara Streisand, or someone who projects a fine stage presence, Sallys' chosen the perfect teaser to exfoliate her rich talents."

The vocals are a mix of blues and contemporary pop while fretless the bass drips with jazz.
