I can feel my feet moving the moment this starts, so that's a good sign surely. Second track slays, a swaying bluesy/jazzy ballad with powerful percussion and great brass. Yeah, I'm very impressed here. She has one of those smoky, sultry voices that means she doesn't even have to try; it's just effortless, or at least she makes it seem so. I guess if there's trip-hop (which I'm still not familiar enough with to recognise) it's in “Espejo” - no, it isn't: just changed completely. Only eight tracks on this album, eight too few by far. Need to hear more of this woman's work, with apologies to Kate. MicShaz, can definitely recommend. Get on this now.
