Album Notes & Community Reviews

Constructed entirely from the artist's overdubbed vocal gymnastics and rhythmic body percussion, this remarkably innovative album proved to be an unexpected commercial juggernaut. Powered by the ubiquitous, optimistic mega-hit 'Don't Worry, Be Happy', the project brought complex vocal jazz and a cappella techniques to massive mainstream prominence.
