rosamami I am biased and partial because I inspired a track here 😬☺️ . . . HOWEVER, there are sooo many talented artists that don’t get quite the fame they deserve! This album is TOP NOTCH. Compositions are unique and meaningful. Musicianship is crisp and smooth, with heart and soul + it swings. For.the.love.of.gods.and.goddesses. It has to swing! It leans enough to feel the g-forces but doesn’t stray too far from center to be cerebral and weird. Emotion + intellect. Truly a winner! Favorite track: Oh Feline, I'm Glad You're Mine.
