Editorial review
From country to goth rock to Mexican banda, most types of music are dominated by vocalists; instrumentalists are as much of a minority in reggae and R&B as they are in Algerian rai music. But there are exceptions to that rule -- and new age, like jazz, is an area in which instrumentalists are dominant and vocalists are the minority. Nonetheless, singers have made some noteworthy contributions to new age; Enya is the most famous example, and other new age-friendly vocalists have included Amy Sapp, Juliana, Anael and Pia. A name to add to that list is Seay, who brings an interesting variety of influences to 1 Voice -- influences ranging from Enya to Annie Lennox (who was the lead singer for the Eurythmics before she became a full-time solo artist). Lennox was never new age in the strict sense -- she came out of new wave and synth pop in the early '80s but had definite R&B influences -- and she isn't a huge influence on Seay's songwriting. But Lennox's vocal style has influenced Seay's phrasing as a vocalist, whereas Seay's songwriting owes a lot more to Enya. Seay, however, isn't an imitator of Enya or anyone else, and she demonstrates that she is her own person on this airy, ethereal, placid, caressing effort. She also demonstrates that she has a healthy appreciation of world music, incorporating elements of Celtic, African, and Indian music. Nothing aggressive or forceful takes place on this 2005 release, which aims to soothe but not in a mindless way. 1 Voice isn't quite as consistent as it could have been, but creatively, there are more hits than misses on this enjoyable, if slightly uneven, disc. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

THE CRITICAL REVIEW - Armando Canales
After listening to a couple of the tracks on the album I realized I was in for something special.SIMPLY THE BEST NEW AGE VOCAL ALBUM OUT THERE!
MUSICAL DISCOVERIES -(5 stars)
Dulcit tones and Seay's ethereal music gives way to a meditative state of mind. The music of 1 Voice takes the listener to deep altered states of awareness, transporting us and calming the mind. Seay has a prolific talent, reaching the ultimate in sensual and evocative musical compositions.
NEW AGE REPORTER, The Sounding Board - RJ Lannan, "A Voice To Reckon With": Seay 1 Voice - (5 Stars)
As rare and unique as an identical snowflake and more haunting than a scream in space, the voice of Seay brandishes a new talent perhaps heretofore unheard of on this side of the pond. There is finally a voice to give Enya a run for her money. My bets are on the American.Your spirit will soar with 1 voice, this CD is going on my Top 10 for 2005.
NEW AGE RETAILER, Trade Show Issue,
Sounds From the Ground Up - MaraApplebaum
When I opened this CD's packaging, something about the woman who calls herself Seay, struck me as especially dramatic. As soon as I heard her deep powerful voice, it all clicked. Not only does Seay have the chops to back up her visual presence, she also writes her own compositions on this rich layered collection of inspirational songs.
SMOTHER.NET - J-Sin
Ethereal. That's the perfect word to describe not only Seay's voice but her music. Gifted with an amazing near five-octave range, Seay composes pieces that transcend the elements of Tibetan chant, inspirational, and classical new age artistry found in her work.
IMPROVIJAZZATION - Rotcod Zzaj
There are CD's... & then there are CD's with full life, & moments that inspire the listener to achieve goals at higher and higher plateaus... Seay's "1 Voice" clearly falls in the inspirational category".
SOLO PIANO PUBICATIONS -Michael Debbage
Entitled 1 Voice is both a simple yet profound description of what you are about to hear. This album has an insightful commercial appeal without sounding safe and sanitized, exploring many themes making 1 Voice one of the more unique genre benders of 2005. Seay is a very complete artist with several voices courtesy of producing, composing, playing and singing giving her an enhanced ability to survive in the trendy music business. From that aspect, the album 1 Voice does not accurately describe the multiple gifts and talents this artist possesses, which should give her an even greater opportunity to let her voice be heard.
LISTENER, SAN DIEGO, CA
Long have I been looking for an artist that sounds more like Enya, with the soft voice that becomes a part of the music, complements it, nourishes it, instead of simply singing over it, and also has a beat/rhythm to the music that creates emotion instead of a continuous drone that you're sick of in thirty seconds. I have spent countless hours online listening to sound bytes of variuos artists, and thought I was sunk. Until I heard a song on my digital cable "Soundscapes" channel. Your music is beautiful, and I can't wait to get a hold of the album, and hope you do a lifetime of more!!
