"The new EP 'Aséna' is a defiant sonic exploration in which Momentum blends hip-hop, RNB, jazz, and soul into an intoxicating mixture, as innovative as it is appealing."

Voxwave Magazine
"As a host and producer, connecting with exceptionally creative artists has been one of the most welcome perks of my radio career! I'm here to tell you that I've experienced it again with the New York based collective Momentum! They offer an exciting blend of music that commands attention."

-J. Michael Harrison, WRTI
"Momentum have hit the ground running in their ambition to give vocal jazz a kick up its often somewhat traditional derrière. "Screams'" intro teases a smooth listen, then before you know it you're catapulted into the cosmic stratosphere, before being laid gently back down; their first single is absolute fire as well. Give them a follow, I have a feeling Momentum are just picking up speed.'

-The Slow Music Movement Blog
"The American band Momentum releases the single 'Aséna', a track that from an alternative base explores paths of happy and dynamic jazz in dialogue with contemporary sounds."

R+
"Momentum's new song portrays an atypical story. The verses are about a father and daughter trying to escape Muslim persecution in China. The idea, both of the lyrics and the arrangement, is to express both sides of the story: love and turbulence."

Arte Brasileira
"Sweet vibrations that fill the mind with good possibilities, releasing the anguish that hides within those who demonstrate serenity, but who are slowly suffocating."

Roadie Music
“'Scream' is imbued with an otherworldly beautiful, cinematic style that nonetheless feels subtle and melodic."

Tonic Grain
"Momentum have hit the ground running in their ambition to give vocal jazz a kick up its often somewhat traditional derrière."

The Slow Music Movement
"The tube mood in the rays of a muffled light, a sound palette of Neo-Soul and Hip-Hop genres and a light smoke jazz music-all this is a new release -momentum x jswiss-, which will become a revelation for connoisseurs of high-quality and atmospheric sound."
