"When soul singer-songwriter William Bell is a guest artist on a young Memphis band's second CD, something exciting must be happening ... Southern Avenue's modern soul sound, with its rootsy flair, was born when Israeli Guitarist Ori Naftaly joined three Memphis natives ... The Jackson sisters are a cut above other young soul artists. Tikyra Jackson's drumming balances intensity with a distinctive refinement. Tierinii Jackson, a deeply vulnerable singer, retains control of the melody while riffing, and stands 100% behind the lyrics".

"On Keep On the young quartet brings a refreshing approach to soul/blues/R&B for these contemporary times. They've got diverse musical interests, have absorbed some lessons along the way, attracted the interest of legendary guests like the legendary William Bell and noted Memphis musician Gage Markey who plays bass on most this recording. Also, they've called on the horns of the Bo-Keys ... Most of it is very upbeat danceable R&B, perfect for their acclaimed live shows. These charged originals such as "Whiskey Love," Savior," "Too Good for You" and "We Are Not So Different" reveal the band harnessing their musical chops over which Tierinii often wails as she does on "Whiskey Love." "Savior" proves they can master the smooth, sultry R&B while "Switchup" shows they know their way around funk too".
