“TolumiDE is most at home when she is referencing her African roots in the likes of "Ekabo" and "Because You Know" but she confidently pulls off some chart-worthy R&B in "What I'd Like To Be" that successfully marries some slick funk with honest spiritual lyrical content.”

— Lins Honeyman, Cross Rhythms

“Big blend of Afro-pop, funky reggae, neo-soul and jazz prove to be an entertaining brew for urban gospel’s newcomer . . . She’s able to take the musical DNA of Taio Cruz and the ease of Oleta Adams, while injecting more of her heritage using bilingual lyrics, into a friendlier foundation of melodic pop and R&B balladry. . .”

— J Matthew Cobb, hifimagazine.net

“I felt it was the right timing for this collaboration to happen. The message of the song is also true-Relationships don’t always go right and no one is perfect, however love is the key to having a successful relationship. That’s the story we told through this song and I loved every bit of making this song and the video… – D-Black”

“TolumiDE beats a path that is less traveled. She focuses on inspirational music. This is at a time when mainstream music as we know it, is gradually losing its soul.

— Jibola L, Bella Naija

“TolumiDE (toe-LU-me-day) is a fresh new face to the gospel music industry. With her Nigerian music inspired beats, her musical style is in a class of its own.

One thing for certain, this DMV resident is fixated on being a spokesperson for Christ.”

— Brian Taylor, DC Examiner

— Andrea Williams, Tehillah Enterprises

“Her first U.S. release, “My Love,” is full of Praise and Worship from an Urban edge perspective. TolumiDE’s voice, to me, is reminiscent of a mixture between Diana Ross and Brandy’s voices.“It’s an Inspirational mixture of Jazz, African and World Music,” said TolumiDE Olumide about her sound. “”

— Eunice Moseley, Electronic Urban Report (EUR)

“TolumiDE’s first full-length, My Love, continues her tradition of combining the cultural sounds of her past with the modern sounds of the present in a way that’s equally at home on the pop charts as it is in the gospel world. With a smooth and warm voice, she heeds Psalm 33:3 -- “Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully and and shout for joy.””

— Crystal Wimberly, Heed Magazine

— Bob Marovich, The Black Gospel

— Gregory Dale, The Afro Newspaper

— Amar Toor, SHOUTcast

“TolumiDE is a new artist with a Nigerian and Canadian background. She infuses gospel, reggae, funk, soul and African sounds and rhythms into music that works well. I’m really digging the vibe.”

— GospelPundit.com

“Wow, she went in on this one; the instrumental immediately gets you moving, but her voice and delivery make you FEEL the song”

— Mola OG, Not Just OK
