If you like classic soul you'll love this album. Real instruments, real melody and great vocals. Sounding like it could have been recorded in the 60's or 70's, but still managing to feel at home in 2007. There are many influences here, including a big Bacharach/Warwicke feel on a number of tracks. Vocally Ebony has a deep, sultry tone somewhat reminiscent of Sade, however any comparisons are probably unfair as this lady is a star in her own right.
As a fan of soul music for nearly 40 years this album has rocketed into my all time list of top albums, I would recommend to anybody who loves classic soul.

A fantastic slice of pure pop soul.Real horns and strings lift this music way up above modern R'n'B, neo-soul, urban - whatever you call it!
A real grower which if you listen to samples will not initially impress very much but in its entirety this album is a fun, bouncy, bundle of tunes that I would describe somewhere between Dusty Springfield and Swing Out Sister (remember Break Out?).There has to be a hit on this album but it would be hard to choose one track over any of the others to release so get all of them.
No summer BBQ desrves to be without a bit of Ebony Alleyne to get the party started. Go buy it!

The Alleyne - Levine combination has given birth to one of the finest pieces of music that I've heard IN DECADES.
"Never Look Back" is a clear look back to the heydays of the american soul music, I think of the entire album as a tribute to all those Motown, Philly and Northern Soul musicians that gave us the best black music ever.
The voice of Ebony is sweet, deep, powerful, all at the same time, the melodies and the arrangements are hard to find in contemporary music.
I used to say (when talking about classic soul music): "They don't make music like this anymore"... Until Ebony Alleyne's Never Look Back made me swallow my words.
