De hechtheid van de band is fenomenaal. En omdat zij rondom gesteund wordt met perfect passende begeleidingspartijen kan Gomes zonder stemacrobatiek zo heerlijk ‘zwart’ zingen. Beschaafd maar ook altijd een beetje sexy.
Hans Invernizzi
Gomes’ lotsverbondenheid, gebundeld in een expressieve, soepel fraserende stem en pakkende teksten, zijn een lust voor het oor en bieden geborgenheid in sombere tijden.
