I finally received my copy of her self-titled, debut album, Nyee (pronounced “nigh-ee”) Moses. I’m not a professional critic, by any stretch, but I feel compelled to toss in my $.02 on this piece. Her vibrant talent is undeniable and the album is certainly all I had hoped it would be and more. This joint has all the right elements in perfect balance — lyrics, vocals, music, arrangement. The woman has certainly earned her props. Unlike many recent-day offerings from some artists, there’s not a bad song in the bunch. Mostly a fresh blend of sultry, neo-soulful, smooth-jazzy tunes with an unmistakable Sade-esque vibe (sans the melancholy), this compilation is definitely an album for lovers (with the exception of the last track, Summertime).
The opening track, Between Us, my personal favourite, which I first heard a few months ago on Houston’s smooth jazz station, The Wave, continues to receive heavy airplay, daily. With her seductive, come-hither vocals, Nyee blows this song out of the park, atop the background of obvious Latin flava guitar strings. Her rich, sophisticated voice emits a warm, intense passion that resonates through every song, particularly so with Love Is A Lion, Vanilla, Acacia Tree and The Journey.
What else can I say? It’s a dope CD. Period!
As for me, I’m gonna cook up a sensuous meal, light a few candles, break out my favourite wine, sit back, chillax and enjoy the euphonious stylings of Ms. Nyee Moses — sure to heat things up for Valentine’s Day and beyond.
This is definitely “grown folks” music, y’all!

How lovely to see you back in action. Your words, your style, your flava–all of these were sorely missed I have to tell you! I am sorry to hear that you have not been well. Stage 4 breast cancer sounds more like a brush with death. But God is truly Good and I thank Him for preserving your life so that you can continue to share your unique flava with all of us.
Please do get in touch ’cause I’d love to catch up.
Blessings and Peace,
Evelyn
