Nicely produced vocal jazz with 12 piece orchestra; voice quality reminiscent of Sam Cook, interesting lyrics by vocalist/composer educated in Nigeria and England; has a bit of a Brazilian vibe
No FCC's detected. Favorite tracks: 2, 5, 7, 9
1-Dark Matter (4:06) – psychology of being African
*2-The Girl She Was (4:21) – nice flute opening; great voice quality; interesting lyrics
3-Jankoriko (5:00) – insistent beat, story of injustice
4-Love Again (5:01)- slow rock
*5-Patience Endures (4:55) – starts with bass figure; interesting clapping accompanies long detailed complaint
6-Herbs for Your Heartache (4:29)- critique of corrupt African leaders backed by mellifluous jazz
*7-It's the Peace that Deafens (4:43)- lyrical, contemplative piano and voice
