Album Details

The Young R&B Vocalist-songwriter Returns with a Second Set that Includes Production and Writing Collaborations with New York Artist Myron and with Rodney Jones. Highlights of this Very Strong Contemporary Urban Album Inlcude the First Single "Damn That", "Miss'n You" and "Here We Go Again" - all Very R&b-slanted Cuts - and the More Neo Soul-oriented "Ain't Givin' Up". Conya Has Worked with Gerald Levert and Avant, as Well as Opened for Musiq Soulchild and Erykah Badu. DJ Jazzy Jeff Calls her "a Whole Lot of Soul in a Beautiful Package", While USA Today Described her as "an Impressive Honey-voiced Newcomer" and Billboard Suggests "we Should Make Room for this Strong Contender…to Join the Likes of Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, India Arie, Alicia Keys and Angie Stone".

Conya = (C)onfident (O)riginal (N)ewcomer that's (Y)oung and (A)mazing!.......2005-08-06

Nine times out of ten you haven't heard of Conya Doss. This is her second release, with the first being A Poem From Ms. Doss, and both being released independently. You probably won't find these at your local Sam Goody or Tower, but you can find both at Amazon.com (see link to the left). A Poem From Ms. Doss was an album with music comparable to the likes of Vivian Green or Adriana Evans, but the voice was still undeniably exceptional. Just Because is more of the same from Ms. Doss, proving with each note that it doesn't matter whether you're independent or with a major label.
Standout tracks include the smooth "Missing You," the title track "Just Because," "Stay," and the funky "Damn That." But a definite personal favorite has to be "Ain't Givin' Up" with the kind of "feel good" message and expressions that most R&B artists tend to not talk about. It's not all about bashing the brothers with Ms. Doss, but she does gives her two cents on songs like "Here We Go Again" and "What Should I Do." It's almost a shame that Conya Doss can be so slept on and underrated at at time when we are practically begging for good music. If you have been looking high and low for a worthwhile R&B cd, Just Because is definitely one to drop your dead presidents on.

Conya Doss - Just Because (Dome, 2004)

When I bought Conya's first album, A Poem About Ms. Doss, I really didn't care for her. But after hearing it over and over again (blame that on my wife), she totally made me a believer. Add to that the fact that Edwin "Tony" Nicholas helps write and produce her songs (he is Gerald Levert's longtime collaborator) and I am totally sold on anything Ms. Doss does. The album flows well and my favorite songs are "Damn That" and "Sweet Love". Yeah, I wish the album was longer (it's around 45 minutes) but I'm just glad that Conya has a second album. -EJR

Damn Damn Good.......2005-06-16

I had her first cd and was so happy to see that she wasn't going to be another one hit wonder. This cd is just as good as the first. She's a slept on artist but I hope she starts to get the recognition she deserves. She has a beautiful style, sweet voice and her beats are nice. The only problem I have with the cd is that some of the recordings sound defective - like they're dirty or have cracks or pops in them, but nothing major that ruins any of the songs. And like another reviewer stated, pick this up before it's gone (and you end up paying $40 for a used copy)!

Wonderful.......2005-03-22

I first fell in love with the song "Just Because" last summer in 2004, when I was home last summer visting my sister! She had the tv on music choice and "Just Because" came on." I was like damn, who is that, she has a nice voice." After searching numerous stores for her album I had no luck finding the album till a friend on the incognito board told me that Dusty Groove had the album, I was so amazed that they had it, and for a reasonable price.

Conya, has some cuts on there! My man and I were having some problems and this cd summed up how I was feeling. Usually I click with Jill Scott on the slow jams, but Conya is giving Jill a run for her money.

I love "The Wind", very good song.

Well I said, my two cents.

Peace, K boogie

Like an Addict.......2005-03-19

I am just outraged that her last album, "A poem about Ms. Doss" isn't available anymore. When I first purchased it was from a 3rd party dealer and now I can't it find online anymore, I had to purchase it from a Music store in Ohio and I live in Chicago. That is crazy! I loved her 1st album so much, she has me betting on Ebay just to get it. So I'm sure if her 1st album have me feening the a drug addict, I'm sure this album is no joke. So Conya Doss fans' I suggest you get it now while you still can, because once she pulls the rug from under the online dealers, that's it!
