    REVIEWS OF SOON TO BE RELEASED PHOEBE’S DREAM SINGLE “D” JAM FROM www.garageband.com:Uplifting Vocals Bring You To a New LevelTotally awesome track! The soulful vocals really propelled the song along with the clever guitar picking. The melody would make anyone happy. Great lyrics also! Definitely worth listening to over and over, especially on a gloomy day when you might need a little soul music to cheer you up. paul_doorknob - Pearland, Texas Catchy vocals and guitar make this a winnerCatchy vocals and guitar make this a winnerReally great tune..reminiscent of Talking Heads but with more emphasis on guitars Jabbering MouthsListening to this track brings the Talking Heads to mind, as well as their musical and lyrical inventiveness. This song is excellent, hands down. A creative beat, great vocals and harmony, and excellent musicianship throughout. Very cool. keggers - Jefferson City, Missouri
