New York City's Jessica 6 has been gaining some notable acclaim recently, their blend of soul, house and funk seemingly going down extremely well on both sides of the pond.
“…a fresh take on 70s disco and filtered house with a dash of funk… elevated by Ruiz's smoky, melancholic voice.” – Guardian UK
“…pop music with a disco feel and a real soulful vibe as well. We love it!”
– PerezHilton
“… the perfect vehicle for Nomi Ruiz's molasses thick vocals, the kind of thing that would have made Madonna in her Danceteria days swell with jealousy.”
– RCRD LBL
“ … the kind of disco infused pop that suits Ruiz so well, with a dash of melancholy added for dramatic effect considerably ups the ante for that debut record.”
– Prefix
“ …one of electronic music's most exquisite practitioner.” – Philadelphia Inquirer
