"Former
Stanley Jordan saxman D'Breeon has stepped out front with
DO IT, which delivers a new, smooth AC sound combining
expressive vocals with impressive saxophone playing.[...]"
-
Music Connection.-
"
...'Do It', is D'Breeon's 15 song record that flows from
Motown vocal styles to Purple playing to current techno/acid/jazz
grooves - and D'Breeon does it all - just does it, that
is. The CD opens up with "Spirit Rise" - a showcase
for his saxophone and sultry baritone as the darker Miles
groove moves with the sexuality of Sade. Track 2, "Lovely
Lady", in its Stylistics sound, is a ballad and wonderfully
layered beauty, mp3'd here as a clip. One of the highlights
of the disc is track 12's, "Gina". The tune
features the soulful vocals that have more depth and character
than many others in the genre. "Call Her" has
a cool intro-opening, and the familiar pop R&B 80's
groove will take you back to the "Lovergirl"
time - cool and indicative of D'Breeon's versatility.
The CD is an overall great effort - clearly D'Breeon has
tremendous talent."

"...a
collection of jazzy space-age soul..."
-Renegade
"He's
made a name for himself as a saxophonist, and now D'Breeon's
doing the solo thing with DO IT, a collection of jazzy
space-age soul. A multi-instrumentalist vocalist, D'Breeon
has written and performed mostly everything on this debut,
with especially strong sax work on the disc's slow jams ("Lovely
Lady") and the Minneapolis dance/soul of "Call Her", as well
as some deep lyrics ("Everything")..."
-Geoff Wilbur's Renegade-
"D'Breeon's
album is a mixture of R&B, pop and jazz, with a dynamic character
all his own. ...When invited to Paisley Park ( the studio
belonging to Prince), D'Breeon laid down the track "Call Her"
for ihs new album "DO IT". ...'D'Breeon has a lot of interesting
instrumentation in his music', Pascoe said. ' ...he is very
talented on the sax. I like how he uses synthesizers and a
muffled saxophone sound.'..."

Here's what some fans had to say:
"This
is an amazing album. Two CDs - a lot of music and a great
achievement for an indie artist. CD one features a lot of
could-be hit R&B material. The first track "Rainbow" was the
one I heard on the radio that got me interested in D'Breeon.
There is a lot of versatility on these 2 CDS. D'Breeon sings
and sometimes raps and plays the saxophone like no other.
CD 2 features some very cool Urban Jazz that is great for
an evening at home with friends."
(Sarah Dunkin, Macon GA)
"I really love "Lovely Lady". When I first
heard it, it just gave me the chills. I am a mother of 2 and
you know how much work that is. This song makes me feel appreciated.
"Do It" makes me want to dance."
(Cindy, CA.)
"
Now, That is Sax!!! The Big fat Sub Bass is slammin too! Great!
(Lance)
"Dig
that album. It always puts my fiance in the mood to DO IT."
(Porsche14)
"Thumbs
up. Those slick sax grooves are dope: "BIG CITY",
"Like the night", "Tell Me". Yo!
(J.B.Johnson,NYC)
"Everything"
and "Urban Praise" are deep. I am a Christian myself
and wish more pop music would deal with faith."
(Conan, D.C.)
