About
Infectious R&B beats accompanied by a lullaby smooth voice and deep poetic thoughts that will fly your spirit as high as the Kilimanjaro. “This isn’t fast-food R&B. This is the underground nu-soul classic that your mother said you should put on repeat in your CD player. Complete with an Afro-Fusion jam In Swahili and a feel-good Summer Time jam hot enough to fast-forward your winter…”
"This woman is seemingly not just singing words, but experiences issues, her own issues, and sentimentally in Golden Coin. While flaunting her crown as the queen of the slow stuff in Fly, as well as in the lyrically well crafted One on One."
Namibian Sun 29 May 2008 (Jeremiah Ndjoze)
Christi is “a wordsmith with a stylistic savvy and a voice that can be gentle as an angel’s breath or on occasion, caustic as a lemon tart,” with thought provoking lyrics and rich and satisfying music. It’s hard to pick favourite cuts when the overall quality displayed is so high. The cut “The Rhythm Of Love” is an example of Christi’s lemon tart side. She displays a hip & sassy street smart persona as the wise “soul sister” warning others of the struggles faced fighting for equality in the battle of the sexes. The rap has a catchy refrain sang sweetly to a head-boppin’ beat.
On “In Swahili” her vocal tone is lullaby smooth even though the lyrics are of great importance and loaded with African references. Upon scrutiny the lyrics reveal the immense pride for her homeland and ancestors and the song comes from deep within her heart and soul and is breathtakingly special.
“My favourite today (could change daily) is Christi’s song “One On One” which features the fresh young Namibian female rapper Robynia and has an infectious beat guaranteed to get everybody up and dancing. The chorus sounds like Danity Kane (who’d die to have this song!) and is simply spellbinding. The production value of this track is outstanding and gives me the impression that this one will be a big hit… not just locally, but around the entire globe. (Randall Parrish – Las Vegas USA).
