Its the kind of exuberant soul boogie George Michael once made...and it gives us hope for the future of sexy pop.” - INSTINCT Magazine “Sex, Drugs & Rock n’ Roll, Ari Gold knows it all.” - FOX NEWS “Gold's arrangements combine house, R&B, pop, electro, hip-hop, smooth jazz and rock, both soft and hard, with his soulful vocals for a radio-ready album that sounds like a greatest-hits collection.” - GAY.COM “[Ari Gold] is a great entertainer!” – BILLBOARD MAGAZINE’S MOBILE BEAT “It’s like he’s the gay Mary J. Blige, keepin’ it all in-check and telling real stories for us.” - LOGO “His velvet vocals and superb delivery soar ideas through space and time to infectious and clubby beats from the bedroom to the dancefloor...he’s erasing the barriers of queer artists in the music industry.” - SAN FRANCISCO BAY TIMES “A Pop Music Masterpiece” – Out & About Newspaper, Nashville check out www.arigold.com for more info! ******* THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT.
