Soundcrave Magazine wrote: “’What I Say’ – the new single from New Jersey rockers Raftree – hits you like a punch to the face, but in a good way… if there is such a thing.”

 

Real Rocker Girl (former A & R rep for Roadrunner Records) said: “Altogether, ‘What I Say,” has a style that is familiar, yet with your own distinct sound, making it easy for a listener to identify you. This song is radio-ready”
