Since releasing her EP, Violet Flower in 2006, Yolanda Johnson quickly gained critical acclaim receiving
the honor of being named BETJ Soul Sessions Breakthrough Artist of the Year as well as her empowering single “Individual”
being selected as the theme music for the hot soul music video show. When asked about her experience in developing Breathing, she
explains. “The title of the album comes from so many places. When I released Violet Flower, I was really holding my
breath, hoping that people liked what I had to offer. Luckily and graciously, new fans are drawn to my message everyday
and now I can finally breathe a little easier.
The theme of the album is also inspired from the overwhelming nature of love. On the one hand, love can make you feel so
high and so full of life that you can hardly breathe, like that feeling when someone just sweeps you right off your feet and takes your breath away. On the other hand, love
can be so tough that it literally takes your breath away and you find yourself unable to breathe at all.” "I
can't remember the last time I felt this way about an album. Not only is Yolanda's voice beautiful, she uses it as
an instrument, a perfect accompaniment to the production that fittingly fluctuates from airy to complex, yet always injects
the right amount of soul, jazz and funk. Her lyrics and intonations add a personalization her contemporaries lack. Miss Yolanda
is what we used to call BAD!" - - Billy Johnson Jr., Sr. Program Director-Urban Yahoo! Music
"Breathing' is a
potent reminder that you can still get lost euphorically in music." -- Gail Mitchell, Senior Editor R&B, Hip Hop
"Her knack for combining socially relevant topics with danceable
grooves and her exceptional vocal dexterity with quality production has been expanded to a whole new soulful level. With “Breathing”
Yolanda is poised to become one of our brightest, shining soul stars. This one is destined to be a favorite too. Keep your
ears open for Yolanda Johnson." Vonnie “Honey” Woods- - honeysoul.com
"No one will
accuse Yolanda Johnson of “taking it easy” on her first full album. It is an ambitious, interesting
project with a lot from which to choose. If you like adventurous music and are ready to go for a ride,
then give Breathing
a try. Recommended." - - Howard Dukes, Soul Tracks Reviewer
