What They’re Saying… A tribute to a beloved mother and grandmother, Jesusa Estrada Cerezo. Ironically the only track where the Bossa beat is almost hidden, this is the most Pop sounding and modern track on the album. Could be easily placed within the 70s and 80s R n’ B and Pop Soul of these eras’ superstars. Lovely end to an intriguing album.

What They’re Saying… A mass fusion of styles incorporating Hip Hop, Jazz and a little R n’ B but still keeping that minimal Bossa drumbeat. Experimental and in some ways reminds of me of some of Prince’s mid 80s phase with orchestration, electronics and Jazz mixes.
