"I Didn't Know About You," a riveting, lesser-known Ellington song, also features the magical work of Russell Malone and introduces Omar Daniels on tenor sax. Thomas leading the rest of the ensemble into a beguiling version of the song. The arrangement is gorgeously fluid, with the sweet and effortless voice of Ms. She then moves so quickly into the lyrics, you're left wondering, "What just happened?" The album's joyousness continues with an intoxicating version of "Our Love is Here to Stay" which begins with a brief intimate solo played by Russell Malone. Here the vocalist introduces the song with unexpected rhythm followed by smoky vocals that bring tingles to the spine. The album opens with "Fascinating Rhythm," one of two songs on which the incomparable clarinetist Felix Peikli joins Ms. Thomas does a marvelous job of bringing out new adventurous facets of the songs we know and love. With many more collaborations (Joell Ortiz, Yah-Yah & Young Zee of the Outsidaz, Little Vic, Butta Verses, producer extraorinnaire The Mighty V.I.C., Marco Polo, Domingo, TzariZM, and more) and their debut on the horizon, there looks to be an even brighter future for these two unique individuals. Their current release, "Finding The Plot" is a mix of 17 original tracks sure to keep the streets melting until their official debut "Bringing Out The Dead" is released to the masses. You can find them on numerous DVD's including Proof & Bizarre of D12's "Who Wanna Battle?" and "Underground Session" Vols. Critical Madness has also interviewed and rocked mics on various radio shows and even DJ Eclipse's "Halftime 8 Year Anniversary Show" alongside legends and more. They have shared the stage with the likes of The Beatnuts, Little Brother, dead prez, Memphis Bleek and others. Their Fat Beats distributed and TEMPERMENTAL produced debut single "1st Amendment" (ft Sabac Red of Non Phixion)/"Dropped" was sold worldwide and reached its peak at Number 2 on College radio and RapAttackLives in early 2006. With both hailing from Central Florida, it was only a matter of time before they crossed paths in the southeastern Battle Circuit thus spawning Critical Madness. Enter Critical Madness (CM): the combination of emcess cRITICAL and Madness, two minds put together to create raw music with intricate concepts and pure lyricism, reminiscent of hip-hop's golden era. Beneath the surface, however, lies a solid hip-hop scene that would make true believers proud. When you hear Orlando, FL, you may stereotype it with theme parks, boy bands, and vacation.
