Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the second installment in a trilogy that began seven years prior, the veteran vocalist delivers an exquisitely orchestrated suite of mature, atmospheric R&B. Bypassing modern electronic trends in favor of live horns and velvety instrumentation, the record oozes with immaculate, late-night sensuality.
