With haunting, jazzy vocals and beautifully penned lyrics. Cuz I Feel provides an atmospheric, mood altering experience. The album is part Cassandra Wilson, part Bebel Gilberto, definitely grown folks music. I'm officially a fan now and will be on the lookout for upcoming shows to try to get the live experience. Check out her website, myspace & facebook pages to hear more from her. -Talib Nelson - Talib Nelson
�It's a quality set all the way through, but the killers for me are 'We Are Surviving', 'Blue In Green' and 'It's OK To Love', all of which are pure class!�

"...a wonderful singer with creamy unique vocals" - Jazz Times Magazine
"What makes me smile is this. Through her songs, she creates a path into an inspirational journey of truth about daily love and romance. She keeps it plain and simple, reminding you about the life you�ve been living everyday. It�s like looking at our own lives through the window of Alisa�s soul"
- Riandy Kurniawan
I LOVE her voice... - SoulFeastMusic
Ohri's voice is the star of this show. Cuz I Feel goes by quickly, and listeners will find themselves putting this CD on repeat. Highly Recommended. - Soul Tracks, Howard Dukes

Bio
Every human spirit is eclectic, unique, and colorful. Alisa Ohri delivers a self-penned song book about what it feels like to be human. Her refreshing blend of R&B, Soul, and Jazz is as necessary as air! Alisa’s tone is rich, haunting, and uplifting. When you breathe in her voice and her lyrics, you’ll feel like she wrote about you. She’ll have you laughing and just-plain-celebrating being ordinary!
What better place to experience life than in Manhattan? Based in New York City …a place where ordinary folks come to work out extraordinary dreams, Alisa thrives upon being a full-time musician! When asked to explain… “You see, it’s like belonging to this incredible club! It’s not exclusive in any way! In fact your only requirement is to say ‘yes’ to your dreams. This crazy recognition thing happens when you bump into fellow New York City artists. You get this kind of glint in your eyes. You give each other that nod of understanding … and you silently say to each other: ‘We’re doing it! We’re really doing it!’ And then you smile and say: ‘Have a great gig!’”
Regardless of the musical situation, Alisa Ohri never misses the chance to deliver. Whether she’s in a Rock group with Stephan Jenkins (Third Eye Blind), opening up for Roy Ayers, collaborating with world renowned R&B/Funk bassist Hubert Eaves IV , writing and singing a Wendy’s Jingle, or “settin’ New York City’s Zinc Bar on fire” with much-acclaimed Jazz Guitarist Ron Affif, - Alisa Ohri delivers her vocals with a punch that leaves you asking for more! Called by some the Millennium’s answer to Sade and Roberta Flack with sass - spiced up with the retro nostalgia of Ella Fitzgerald - Alisa’s vocal knock out to the soul just plain feels good!
