Kim's highly anticipated second CD, 'Who You Are' is a pulsing collection of dance music interlaced with her strong, soaring vocals that she is well known for.
The sound is refined, spacious, suited to the recurring themes of wishing and longing.
Opening the CD is "Calling You", a favorite amongst many, orginally from the "Baghdad Cafe" film. Kim takes it somewhere else, interchanging the moodiness of the tune to an upbeat, positive note. She takes the Beach Boys, "God Only Knows" to a whole different place as well as adding her own compelling compositions.
The CD moves you to dance, reminsce, finishing with something that we all can relate to. Wanting. Giving you a TASTE of what Kim's all about onstage with her live performances - upbeat and one helluva singer.
A wait well worthwhile since her award winning debut, "Contradictions".
"Massively popular sophmore CD an often, favorite
request for our station!"

Monette for www.Radiogay.ca
"Slick packaging, dynamite graphic
work and fresh styling on the cover and booklet do some foreshadowing
to the contents of Kim's newest music offering. A move to a more club-mixed
beat keeps you dancing while daring you NOT sing along on most tracks
especially Calling You. This production like her first keeps Kim's
sound in the forefront where she leads the pack with regard to truly great
vocals! Great sound!"
- Keith
"I don't have a lot of dance-oriented music in my collection, but I have
been a huge Kuzma fan for years. The excellent production and emotionally
expressive vocals on this disk make it very listenable both loud
as party music and at lower levels for more subdued atmospheres.
A real contrast to Kim's previous disk but equally impressive.
Love Her. Fantastic CD."

"Kim, per usual, has released
another fantastic compilation. Definitely more up-beat and dance-fabulous
than Contradictions, but nevertheless, another one you can't afford to
miss out on having in your collection.
This is a "DEFINITE MUST HAVE CD"
Yes, it has been a wait for Miss
Kuzma to once again grace us with a new release of her music, but
certainly worth it. Those that have been fortunate to hear her music either
through one of her CD's or live will know. "Who
Are You" will get to your soul, and get you heart and body moving.
True beauty and luster and just plain out-right fun.
This CD is fantasitc, you will be a fan for good once you hear
it!"
- Kevin B
"Kim Kuzma does not disappoint,
and this CD is no exception! She manages not only to write her
own very dancable music, but also takes covers (Calling You, God
Only Knows) and makes them unique new songs. God Only Knows is
one of the best remakes I have heard yet. .you will jump up and
dance why you put it on replay! Don't miss the opportunity to see
her in person - you will be blown away as well."
