The track "We Don't Have To Talk About It" appeared on the Reference Point LP released by BBE Records in 2023.

"This project from New York guitarist James Beaudreau harkens back to the past through its soulful jamming. It stirs up the moodiness of The Doors with hints of The Grateful Dead if they were fronted by Joni Mitchell. Delightfully glamorous. ...This assured metropolitan project has strong echoes of Steely Dan -- even early Chicago (minus the brass) in parts -- and two not-so-secret weapons in powerful singer Anne DeAcetis and fleet-fingered guitarist James Beaudreau. It's the lightest listen this month, but Bell Helium's cool grooves and airy production make for a high time." -- Prog Magazine

“It’s a yacht rock kind of sound…it’s a Laurel Canyon sound, which I also love, but it’s got more to it than that…the vocals here are lovely soul vocals, really nicely done…and that really adds something, it really anchors [the songs] and gives them a warm feel, too…and the guitar and electric piano sparring, trading solos—which is a feature of the work they do—is something very special…well it’s a great debut…wonderful…so do seek it out. Wanna take you higher? Bell Helium will.” -- Steve Swift

"As soon as the opening track Don't Tell Anybody starts playing, you can feel there's something happening here... [the record] falls right in-between West Coast soul/AOR of the 1970s and 70s smooth jazz-fusion, with subtle keys and guitars, while the rhythm section does a splendid job in keeping things quite groovy. ...the whole vibe of the record is amazing." -- Strutter Magazine

LET ME TALK TO YOU (from "The Belleville exciting Jazz Bossa nova songs")

Self made man and Guitarist, Nzo had his first studio musician experiences at the tender age of 18, in styles as diverse as Rock, Funk, Hip-Hop and variety. With this experience, he launched into computer assisted production and compositions. In 2001, he released his 1st house single "I'm flying" on the m/trax label based in Los Angeles. I'm flying's release in France led Nzo and the Troublemen to meet, and thus the Troublemen begged Nzo to became the group's guitarist. After various independantly released singles, he signed with the highly respected British label PENG the popular tune: « Our family » which brought him considerable respect from the house music industry. In 2003 he joins the « Savannah House Band » 1st live house band produced by the Troublemen. He also participates in the recording of the « Tribute to the Funk » compilation, where he played along side the great names of 80's funk : Jocelyne Brown, Oliver Cheatham, Jerôme Prister, Annita Ward and James D-Train Williams who became a friend. On a quest for his own style, he is currently devoting himself to composing personal tunes developed under the influence of some of his fave artists such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gay, the Isley Broters, Jeff Buckley, Lewis Taylor, Steve Vai, Stevie Ray Vaughan
