Album Notes & Community Reviews

Written and composed almost entirely on a Roland VG-8 guitar synthesizer, the legendary songwriter's sixteenth studio album offers lush, heavily orchestrated jazz-pop textures. The release serves as her final collection of entirely original new material before embarking on a nearly decade-long recording hiatus.
