"Adegbalola is a powerful persona, a charismatic leader and an artist whose intelligent voice carries the fundemental message that she champions ... She stretches the genre, writing incisive original songs that are unencumbered by externally imposed limitations. Her latest, post-Saffire project 'Is It Still Good to Ya?' brings together an all female harmony ensemble, the Wild Rutz, which mainly performs original a Cappella songs, with light percussion and guitar ... 'Is It Still Good to Ya?' covers a range of styles and genres in its 14 songs: blues, doo-wop, R&B, etc., but it wouldn't matter because the key attributes of this album are four-part harmony and call-and-response singing. Gaye is the natural leader and the ensemble supports her in a relaxed, almost effortless way. Everything is light and easygoing, with lovely harmonies throughout".
