Here's what's been said about Tellin You Right Now:
"This music is brimming with hope. It's not a saccharine or unsubstantiated hope, but a wide-awake, insistent kind of hope…the kind that unites us, that reflects on our separations with wisdom and understanding, and reminds us to keep on lovin' one another."
"Supported by a 6-piece band of young, inspired musicians—all mavericks on the New York scene—from specialized backgrounds in jazz, reggae, gospel, and hip-hop, Rooker's songs are ripe with innovation and rounded by expertise. In Tellin You Right Now, Rooker harnesses this musical diversity, seamlessly blending colors and textures to make each track a unique combination of groove, heart, and light."
