"We takes our hats off to local supergroup Kooii, what a hook, get along and see these cats soon." - Rave Magazine
"…combines jazzy urban rhythms with funky reggae beats and resonant vocals to lull a listener into trance-like splendour. Kooii enters the musical world with a debut album that is every bit transitional as it is colourful carrying a distinct yet indefinable approach that'll make you feel blissfully relaxed and at ease. If music is supposed to ease stress, this definitely does the trick."
