“Aram Scaram / Citizen Sound is a passionate dub advocate, mixing and producing some wicked tunes. I was tipped off about the track “Seasons Change,” which is a smooth slightly digital upbeat summer-time reggae jam with Melodic & Jahdan Blakkamoore.”

— The Groove Thief

"Citizen Sound" is out and claims its own position to the continuously spreading hybrid genre in which dub and soul, reggae and hip hop are combined in fair proportions for creating the modern urban soundtrack. This a very well balanced record between the production skills of Aram Scaram and each contribution whether that is the collaborating artists or the supporting sound patterns. Worth checking!

“If you thought Aldubb's 'Thanks & Praises' was a killer tune, well you have to check out 'Praises in the Dance', the remix by Citizen Sound. I admit, I am a fan of Citizen Sound. Why? Because Aram puts the word party into his dubs. Veteran Brother Culture never sounded better and Ammoye's lovely vocal touch is always a treat but this remix has got so much energy that it just pulls you to the dancefloor! If this tune doesn't make you smile and jump, I sincerely don't know what will... More please! ”

— Youri Van Driessche, Dubfront - Fmbrussel (BE)

“Yeah Aram, your sound is always WICKED and MASSIVE ”

— Prince Thierry, Radio Mega 99.2, France

“Reggae Is Her Name, the album’s Juno-worthy single. A sweet love letter to reggae, it features Blessed and is one of the disc’s standout tracks.”

— Errol Nazareth, Toronto Sun

“...It's a pop-friendly, but quite finely detailed, listen throughout, combining vocal approaches ― from R&B to dancehall to a touch of punk snarl ― to keep things fresh...This is a very enjoyable listen and demonstrative of an identifiably Toronto dub sound that's both melodic and tough for the dance floor.”

— David Dacks, EXCLAIM

“Aram Scaram whose new Citizen Sound CD beautifully blends roots reggae, dub, soul and electronics.”

— Denise Benson, EYE Magazine
