Album Notes & Community Reviews

Transitioning from acclaimed session percussionist to solo superstar, Sheila Escovedo teamed with Prince to create this defining artifact of the Minneapolis Sound. The album heavily features her virtuosic timbales alongside cutting-edge synthesizers and drum machines, blurring the lines between Latin funk and sleek pop-R&B. The title track became a massive global hit, establishing her as a multifaceted, independent artist.
