There’s nobody in New York who sounds anything like her. Backed for most of her show by a bluesy, jazz-influenced electric guitar, she showed off a disarmingly clear, pure soul voice throughout a catchy mix of slowly unwinding ballads. Once in awhile there’d be a hint of a latin Caribbean influence, but otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair to pigeonhole her as neosoul. And her lyrics deal with empowerment and fighting injustice as much as the usual battle of the sexes. At the end of her set, she treated the crowd to one of those anthems, in Spanish. - NEW YORK MUSIC DAILY
This Bronx-based band has a sound that stops you in your tracks because you just gotta stop and catch the vibe. Yurby slays. She croons. Armed with a voice lined with invisible velvet, she makes us feel every emotion in every lyric. Now that’s power! - Crafty Chica
