”What a tuff album. Anyone that doesn't feel like
dancing to this one shouldn't be on a dance floor.”
MARC MAC (4 HERO)
”Jeremy Ellis is rocking all four speakers of my
sound system for sure. This is a gem of a record that your cd player will
be happy to spin at high volume.”
CHARLIE DARK (ATTICA BLUES)
"Love the album...its all dope"
SEIJI (BUGZ IN THE ATTIC)
"Amazing stuff, really original and the depth sound
is superb."
ATJAZZ
"Jeremy Ellis mines a number of disparate genres
to hone his sound - an amalgamation of nu-jazz, nu-soul, and Latin vibes as
well as drawing on a raw musical sensibility derived from growing up in Detroit."
XLR8R
”A boldly ambitious move for a sinfully talented
musician.”
BPM MAGAZINE
“Pure class from one of the Detroit new school
on the always excellent”
KEEP ON MAGAZINE
"Detroit's broken beat Stevie Wonder"
LEMONADE
Jeremy Ellis “The Lotus Blooms” was the #1 most added RPM album in it’s first week at radio!
Detroit-based Jeremy Ellis moved to Puerto Rico to create an album marrying traditional Bomba and Plena rhythms with Detroit-schooled dance music. After three months, the keyboard maestro and golden-toned vocalist discovered that the living in Puerto Rico ain’t so easy. On his way home he lost two computers, all of his recordings, half of his recording advance, and his passport (and possibly part of his mind). Fortunately, Ellis returned in one piece with the musical knowledge and resolve to create “The Lotus Blooms,” an album of insatiable future funk grounded in Detroit and peppered with a Puerto-Rican persuasion.
