| RefleXions
This is not your typical vocal band.
RefleXions has received acclaim for its richness in talent,
message and style. First gaining distinction for their
melodious a capella performances, the five-member group blends
to create signature tight harmonies by co-mingling male and
female voices with various elements of musical genre of music
called Eye-Soul, which incorporates an R&B, Hip Hop and
Funk style into their already unique harmony mix. (Think
Black eyed Peas, Boyz II Men, Jill Scott, Take 6 and a Creed
message...mixed together) Their
sound, style and lyrics set them apart from other groups
because of songs that deal with the insight into today's
culture as it relates to relationships and social
consciousness. All five members are talented songwriters
