Reviews are in for TRANSCENDENCE:
"A Music Evolution of Transcendence
Rev. Yolanda is definitely an artist who enjoys mixing styles, and "Transcendence" is another example of her musical diversity. The EP description reads, "American Southern Blues, Doo Wop, Country and Southern Gospel" - and Rev. Yolanda does a fantastic job of authentically arranging and performing the Doo Wop/50's style. I felt like I was listening to the "Hairspray" soundtrack. The production, by Philip Carroll, has a "live" feel to it even though it's a studio production, which only adds to the fun experience of hearing Rev. Yolanda perform these songs. Be prepared to be completely transcended - possibly even a little "non-binary, feminine, and hairy!"- Gay Christian Singer Songwriter

"Amazing! Another amazing and inspirational cd from Rev Yolanda. These 3 tracks present an exciting new sound that will hook you from the first notes. I highly recommend this cd as well as all of the others from this talent with a truly loving heart." -Jeff G.
"I just want to say that I am loving your Transcendence EP. I love the 50s retro feel of the title track. I am such awe of your songwriting. Keep up the great work."- Gary Hill
"Just purchased your new EP. Listened to the title track so far and it's wonderful. Congratulations on releasing your latest creative achievement!
Transcendence means looking beyond body parts
Forgetting color and language but opening hearts
Being authentic and living your life as you should
Have a tall, cool glass of IdentiTea™ 'cause it's all good!"- Adiv Abramson
"I love your ability to TRANSCEND genre boundaries with your beautiful music, Yolanda! You make such sweet melodies with such a wealth of powerful influence. I love all the genres you incorporate, it's so cool to have them all rolled into 1. XOXO ♥️ Danita "

Country Gospel Kirtan vol. 2, review by Pamela DeGroff
from Dec. 19, 2016 edition of Transgender Forum:
"The outstanding tracks are Somebody Save Me (full band sound, laid back yet somewhat bluesy), and Let Go Of Grievances(country funk, but with a diversity of instrumentation, and overall the best production moment on the entire project.)
Musically, Country Gospel Kirtan Vol. 2 Step Back is one of the biggest steps Rev. Yolanda has ever taken. While the Interfaith theology might not be to everyone’s personal taste or beliefs, Yolanda’s dynamic as a musician and as a deeply spiritual person are not in conflict, nor are they diminished in any way. Both attributes of who Rev. Yolanda is as a person compliment each other greatly. "

"LOVE IT!!! Your voice sounds the best I've ever heard...So smooth and effortless and full of color. The whole sound of the CD is so so tasty and musical. I love that there are so many strings that add different textures: electric guitar, acoustic guitar, sitar, banjo, violin. All of it works. Your producer and you collaborated on a work of art that reflects your new direction in such a hip, satisfying and spiritual way" -Rosemary Loar, MAC's Hansen Award Winner

This live cd at CBGB's is gritty and RAW Rock&Roll just like Rev. Yolanda was in the early days of her recording career. Using Rock&Roll to speak to gender politics... Yolanda was then and still is a force of nature!

ABBALICIOUS
Yolanda's (Outmusic's "Outmusician of the Year" 2003) solo is "Lay All Your Love on Me". The stripped-down, raw feel of the track-- featuring only Yolanda's hard-hitting, strong, Southern-twanged voice with guitar by her friend Robert Urban-- packs a wallop: Yolanda unleashes no less than 20 different emotions with that song
New York City’s top drag performers gather to sing their favorite ABBA songs in a way that you have never heard them before in ABBAlicious! From the Go-Go version of "Waterloo" to the country western take on "Dancing Queen" or the R&B inspired "Knowing Me Knowing You", each ABBA tune that we grew up with is performed with a new energy and vitality that is unparalleled. FIGJAM RECORDS is proud to present: Betzy, Cashetta, the Chixie Dix, Connie Cat, Edie, Hedda Lettuce, Joie Starr, June Bug, Sade Pendarvis and Yolanda reinterpreting the ABBA classics for our times in a wide variety of musical styles.

Video for "YOU and I" by Harry Thorpe
You and I (Marry Me)- lyrics and music by Rev. Yolanda
vs 1: And when the days are long, my arms are for you.
And when you're feeling strong, your touch is for me.
And in those precious times when we make love,
You are always the man I'm, dreaming of.
Chorus: Marry Me
vs. 2: Nothing can change the way we feel
And as time goes on it will reveal
All the secrets of the Universe.
All in that special kiss between the two of us.
Chorus: Marry Me
vs.3: You and I will take a stand against the rising tide of hate.
No longer is our love the kind that dares not speak its name.
We will reveal our love and give the world the truth-
LOVE is the Way The Light The Truth.
Chorus: Marry Me
