“Destiny has clearly determined that this partnership is built to last, and strong chemistry is on display in the designs these two produce. I'm On My Way is ironclad proof of that fact. Melinda Rose and Frenchy Romero are a match made in heaven. They may have already been aware of that, but now we are hip to it, too.”- Dan Bilawsky
“Melinda Rose and pianist Frenchy Romero are an amazing duo bringing wit, charm, sensitivity and improvisational energy to a mix of standards and a few Rose-penned originals on their continuously sparkling debut album I’m On My Way. Journeying amiably, and with snazzy phrasing and scat to spare, the collection artfully serves a traditional jazz community seeking sparks of freshness and uniqueness. The title of Rose and Romero’s album is truly a self-fulfilling prophecy – they’re definitely on their way!”- Jonathan Widran
“A stunning new jazz CD. Melinda Rose has a gorgeous, pure, velvet yet strong voice that is so refreshing to listen to. Her voice evokes vocal images of Nancy Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald and Anita O'Day but with her own personal styling. Pianist Frenchy Romero delivers a master class on how to accompany a great vocalist. She is creative and supportive but never interrupts Melinda's vocals. What a pleasure to listen to these two young and talented musicians. There is great sensitivity between these friends that produces some of the best jazz I have heard in a long time.”
“A dream album for any jazz vocalist fan.”- Robert Nicosia
“These two women have special chemistry and keep you thoroughly entertained with both Romero’s incredible technique on piano and Rose, with her lyrical interpretation of the stories and lovely singing of these memorable melodic standards. Both of these ladies are masters of their craft and, united, they are double trouble. If Melinda Rose or Frenchy Romero are playing anywhere near you, rush to the club or concert.”- Dee Dee Mcneil
