Inner dialogue

"nner Dialogue-Charles' sophomore album, following Red (Truth Revolution Records, 2012)-is a work of confidence and maturity, an intensely personal musical statement, and a hip blend of styles, suggestions, and sounds. Charles' voice-wholly attractive and velvet smooth, powerful yet vulnerable, and, on rare occasion, showing a bit of bite-is a well-trained instrument that's strong and sensuous at once. When paired with the creative grooves, blips, burbles, ripples, upsurges, and shimmering sounds provided by her longtime band mates-pianist Jesse Elder, bassist Burniss Earl Travis II, and drummer John Davis-it can go nearly anywhere".

"Sarah Elisabeth Charles has barely begun as a bandleader, but she is already stepping onto the next level, That's the level where a musician starts to sound like a genre of one and has found collaborators who can give her exactly what her music demands ... Charles may just be taking command of the studio, but she is fully in control, and she figures to be for a very long time".
