"Adina Nyree blends jazz, soul and spoken word so effortlessly that you forget that no one else is doing it quite like she does. Nyree takes the stage like a seasoned pro and works the audience like they are old friends she invited over for a private concert."

"...Certified Organic, is a disc that requires repeat listens. Each time, I catch something new. She [Adina Nyree] switches between song and rhyme with the ease of a race car driver switching lanes."

“Because she allows herself to live her dreams and not be defined by anyone or anything, she reveals herself through the fullness of her artistry – in music, in poems and spoken word...”

"...Adina effortlessly incorporates her spoken word into her music...Adina's music has more of a jazzy-organic feel to it. If you enjoy soul artists like Jill Scott, Brenda Russell and Ursula Rucker you should definitely give Adina Nyree a listen."

"I haven’t heard poetry this powerful since the first time I heard Nikki Giovanni in the late 60s. Adina’s “Off Beat Blues” delivers a message all women should hear!"
