“Room To Breathe” is one of those songs that catches your attention from
the beginning, it makes you want to dance and you find it still playing in your
head or that your humming it long after the song has finished playing! Brian
O’Neal still brings his own style to the table with this song but was working
with a whole new flavor. He did an awesome job combining a jazzy, house, dance,
latin/salsa flare and he demonstrates a new level of skill which will allow him
to crossover and be placed into many music genres’.
From: Doug Gordon
WOW! Another amazin joint Brian! It's upbeat, but has a nice chill lounge
type of vibe to it. The background instrumental, and the way you tickle those
ivories really come together for a song that really makes you wanna move! Also,
this song really shows your versatility: from lose 'em drawz slow jams to bumpin'
club beats, you really showcase your brilliant talent! Looking forward to your
next CD release!
From: Ehsence
It's amazing how Brian is able to let music make love to life. ""Room to
Breathe"" takes advantage of your calmness at the beginning and then surprises
you with anxiety and excitement towards the end. It's like this song is trying
to be a Gentlemen and invite your inner desires over for dinner and a night cap.
From: Vince Marcopoli
Dude - you're the MAN. Sounds awesome. I love the energy on this one. Your
playing kills - you never run out of ideas! You are technically brilliant and
sensitive at the same time. I love your use of space - you never overplay, even
though you could! That type of restraint is a characteristic of all my favorite
players. Take care and best wishes for much success with your new stuff!!
From: Jim Williams
As usual your music puts ones mind at ease. While on the way from work or
a hard day in general this type of music soothes the soul and eases the mind.
After listing to this one track as busy as it may seem to some it allows one to
focus on the brighter side of life.
As you can tell I enjoy this type of music and I surprise my customers with this
type of music and they also enjoy it.
Thanks for your artistry.

Two words…"LOVE IT!" Funny thing is I didn't have time to read your blurb BEFORE "Room to Breathe" came on...I just let the song play. The very first words out my mouth were, "THAT’S Brian?" It’s totally different from anything I’ve heard from you (and yes, I did wonder about the heavy breathing too. LOL). But when I finally read the blurb, I realised everything you shared about the song is what I experienced in my very first "listen". I love the deviation from your "smooth norm" (although the SOUND is still smooth…that’s just who you are). I love the integration of musical genres. I love the crescendo to your frenzy. The vibe is sooooo infectious…like "Dancer," it elevates my mood & keeps me on my feet, but in its own unique way. As usual, your prowess on the piano is mega impressive. Another hit…I’m proud of you man! Keep UNPLUGGING, and please, give us some more "Room to Breathe!" :-).

Brian,
You know I love your musicianship. It has been the inspiration for many a poem
[your work with KEM]. That was before meeting you.
Now that I have been introduced to you and your own music personally, I am even
more impressed with your style. The fluidity is very expressive, complimenting
the title as it lends to the atmosphere of being frenetic, but with a direction
- to breathe. Loving the artistic 'exhale' man.. you been hangin around some
poets?
It's in rotation in my playlist. Good success on your completion of
""Unplugged"". I got salads on call...
From: The Bria Project
Message: Hi Brian, this track is fabulous. Being a lover of the lounge and downtempo genre, this song represents a fresh sound that I believe will cross over big. It's remains melodic, jazzy and edgy.
Thanks for enlightening my ears with this!! Love it!!!
From: Queen-a-bella!
B... YES! YES!!!! YES!!!!! Babe, the composition literally takes me
through my life journey.... I truly feel that I had to 'bust out' to seize my
""Room To Breathe."" This is so real to me... I'm speechless...for
NOW smile).
We'll have to discuss it when I configure my thoughts. Most importantly, my soul
relates to this piece... TTYRS!
From: Winona Dorsey
Okay, now you have my attention! It is fascinating, exhilarating,
exciting, and makes me loose my breath! What a fantastic ride! I can see those
keys sizzling now! Run it man, run it!
From: Charnell
Oh, Brian!!! Man, that just gets you on your feet!! I was listening while
pouring a cup of coffee and ended up dancing all over the living room! You are
just so AWESOME Brother...Thanks for the download; I will be forwarding it to my
friends; and I'm sure my Son will be blasting it in his Caddie while he rides.
Much Love, Thanks and Respect, Charnell
From: Lynda
I love this song! Something most definitely different coming from the
""smooth maestro""! It gets your going! Your blood pumping! I would love to
listen to this song and workout with it! To me its smooth with a taste of a hot
melodic spin! With the day of everyday hum drum there is always ""Room To
Breathe"" with something in a exciting and frenzy pace! I love the piano solo
part ! Most definitely busy! Go Bean Go! Very nice indeed! I give that song two
thumbs up with a twist of hot cheese grits!
From: Triple J
Love your sound man, can't wait to play it on my show and open the ears of

Mr. O'Neal,
What can I say? You have done it again-Wonderful! I love it. Thank you so much
for the free download. I am one of your listeners who has called some of your
music as ""smooth"", but this was just the right tempo for me to close my eyes
and image that drive in my car without even leaving my home. May God continue to
bless you with the of keeping people happy with the sounds of your music.

Hello Brian ,
this new tune has a nice groove and is smooth like a fine wine. I like the way
that you allow it to build up. This is one you can chill with at anytime .
From: Nii Abossey
A definitive creativity to span decades to come, congratulations.
From: Sandi
""Room To Breathe"" great up-tempo track! Brian, you sound better than
ever. I actually like the fact that it is NOT smooth jazz but rather, something
a little more exciting. Great song Bean!
From: Cassandra J
I love the new song, as all of Brian's music, it is a great. He is such a
breath of fresh air as a musician and I enjoy listening to this music.
From: Cindy Ealy
Love it and Brian. You definitely have developed your own style that is
uniquely yours and recognizable as Bean's music and at the same time new and
fresh compositions. Looking forward to your new cd.
From: Rodney Kelly
Once again fellow Alcornite you have done it. I love it
From: DivaDog
the sound that enters in at 1:12 is funky as hell. 2 mins into the song it
sounds typical Brian O'Neal. 2:30 into the song I hear snare drum. 3 mins into
the song it sounds just like Samba Sauce. and the ending with you
breathing...interesting. The song is good but nothing really stands out to me.
Outta 10 I give it a 7 :-)
From: Marnica Wright
thank you Brian,
What a treat. I found this piece rich and exciting, but as always never enough
of it, I could have played or repeated it at least three more times.
From: kel
YOU HAVE REALLY GROWN AS AN ARTIST...I REALLY ENJOY THE COMPLEXITY OF

album. Thank you dear one!!!!!
From: Tanya Walker
Love this new track. You are truly amazing. I'm telling everyone I know to
buy your cd. Keep putting out this lovely music.
From: Tammy
This song gave me the impression of someone started out just going for a
brisk walk on a crisp day. Then, just got the urgent need to run with everything
in him. The breathing added to that impression. I really enjoyed this and have
saved it to my computer. Can't wait for the new CD to come out.
From: mse2yu
I like the real music in you. You bring so much variation. It has a upbeat
swing to it. Kind of makes you wanna get up and move a little bit. I'm still
looking out for you in the ""STL"". Keep hitting me up with your new music. I
love it!!
From: Allen
Very cool, brother B. As you stated, a great tune for driving down the
coast on HWY 1. I think I feel a graphic coming on...... Lensman
From: Elizabeth
Love the new Piece Brian, You're right, it is Mellow, but with a solid
energy that keeps it exciting throughout. The breathing in the middle was
perfect. It carried an erotic undertone without being too much. Good Call! Love
it, and I'm downloading it for sure...Thanx for the creation!
From: Elizabeth
Hi Brian,

Lots of energy here.......like the intro and the melodic sound gently
folded in near the end, however, it strongly reminds me of Daisy crossed with
Dancer.
From: Roberta Larkins

From: Dorothy
Yep, some real good ""workin out"" music. I was exhausted by the time it
ended. LOL
From: Kathreine Mills
Room To Breathe is a melodic journey from your mind's creativity to your
soul. It reminds me of moving, changing, cleaning out the old preparing for the
new. Just like your previous works this one is truly refreshing and shows us
that even you can give smooth Jazz a shot in the arm. Nice very nice I highly
recommend it. Look forward to your next contribution to musical art at its best.

this is a faster pace. Guess what? Its still Smooooth lol. Smooth is what you
do!!!
Its you and its all good!!! :-)
KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON MY BRUTHA!!!
From: Sha Speaks
Its so funny...as I am sitting here writing my review for ROOM TO BREATHE
(which by the way I love the Title) , I can't seem to keep still....I'm dancing
in my chair as I listen to it for the umpteenth time since I received it.
(Thanks for the free download).
My being more of a hip hop/rhythm & blues/gospel person, I have come to TRULY
APPRECIATE JAZZ or NU JAZZ as a result of Brian O. Autobahn is one of my
absolute favorites...Thanks for creating it O.
When I first hear the masterpiece I have visions of space. It has a ""space
age""
groove to it. Then all of a sudden, it twists and has more of a house
music/jazz/latin blend. I started doing the Mambo...again...can't sit still as I
love to dance.
Its the type of piece where you immerse yourself in the music totally which I
did.
You (well I can) feel the intensity of Brian O through this piece. I hope
everyone who hears it enjoys it as much as I do.
Brian you really didn't leave any room to breathe..too busy dancing..sigh.
O this is some DANCING WITH THE STARS MUSIC FOR REAL.
I CAN SEE THEM DANCING TO THIS....MAKE IT HAPPEN.

I love this song. It has a very relaxing sound. I can see myself in a
convertible driving on a long stretch of highway with my hair blowing in the
wind just jamming. This is the bomb (if they still say that). I love it Brian.
Keep doing what you are doing.
