Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating under her middle name 'Emily' as an alter-ego, the Grammy-winning jazz bassist and vocalist radically expands her sonic palette. Co-produced with Tony Visconti, the album weaves highly complex, theatrical art-rock and funk into her signature virtuosic jazz fusion. It is a brilliant, wildly ambitious left-turn that highlighted her immense versatility as a composer and performer.
