"It has been a long time since I was taken to a beautiful place by musicians playing beautiful music, with stories to tell. Their music and musical direction keeps you happy, optimistic & lifted up.This (Olatuja Project) is a beautiful group! I especially enjoyed the lovely Alicia’s singing. Every one is great, but she is the Queen."
- Monty Alexander

"The Olatuja Project is in a word: LOVE. With incomparable musicianship and grace, Michael and Alicia have managed to share their love of home, groove, storytelling, and each other. One cannot listen to this album and be anything but inspired to connect with that love again and again and again."
- SOMI

"Indeed, fulfilling the promise suggested by Michael’s critically-acclaimed, 2009 solo debut LP ‘Speak’, the inspirational feel of ‘The Promise’ takes in moods ranging from the seductive celebration of its percussion-driven title-track single and the warmly tender, jazzier ‘Sumo Mi (Draw Nearer)’; to the richly-arranged, inspiring ‘Soki (A Little While)’ and the hypnotic, Brazilian-bossa-nova-flavoured ‘Boju Woke (Lift Up Your Eyes)’. "

“It’s their Sound, but it places the Olatujas among a wave of artists who are expressing African roots and influences in a modern jazz and soul vocabulary”
- Boston Globe

"The Promise is an arresting blend of styles, culture and talent. Alicia sounds in places like Dianne Reeves, at other moments like Rachelle Ferrell." 
- Echoes Magazine
