Critics Review
“I love how my imagination is lit up when I read these stories. It’s as though I have been beamed into a universe that is unscathed by the reality we are living in now. Imagination inspires nations. I am inspired. I am in spirit.”
–Jully Black, award-winning singer/songwriter, artist, and activist
“It is refreshing to see work that encapsulates a Black perspective without having to force Blackness to the centre of the work. Creative, experimental, innovative, and well thought out.”
–Kareem-Anthony Ferreira, visual artist
“The unorthodox structure is part of the appeal of Curious Sounds–there’s a sense of a mind spilled onto the page, with sharp insights scattered throughout. The results are both odd and enchanting.”
–Publishers Weekly
“This project symbolizes the journey of life over infectious melodies, poignant lyrics, and dope beats and shows how captivating Roger is as a storyteller. Really dope.”
–Maestro Fresh Wes, rap artist, actor, and author of Stick to Your Vision: How to Get Past the Hurdles & Haters to Get Where You Want to Be
