BRIEFRECAP
“Bowl of fresh fruit, a bit of caffeine, the New York Times and Virginia’s Jon Bibbs singing this bit of poetry to me. Nah, I can’t think of a better way to start my Monday morning. the man who delivered his “Unbreakable” debut in ‘05 is returning with intricately arranged jams and dizzying falsetto heights that would give Bilal a run for his money. Click Bibbs most recent video “My Imagination” and just get a small taste of Jon Bibbs, knowing that even this classy juke joint isn’t gonna come close to what’s to come, trust. Wait for it, wait for it…” - L. Michael Gibson CentricTV SoulSessions
