A mostly English pop-programming-parade. She’s got a whispery, sex-kittenish voice and there’s lots of programming, which gives things a decidedly modern air but which also makes most tracks sound decidedly similar: downtempo, a little dark, with varying layers & moods. Rather self-consciously too “artistic” for my taste. I liked these the best:
1. Lightly bossa, downtempo, a bit dark w/whispery male/fem vox.
4. Lazily swaying bossa – vocal duet w/various electronic sounds.
6. Mostly midtempo, swirling w/a sort of global programming
7. Mid/uptempo groove w/sexy French male vox in back.
8. Slow & romantic … like a love song on Veneusian radio
11. Soft bossa at first, picks up w/layers of extra noises
