Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Brooklyn-based singer and multi-instrumentalist delivers a wildly eclectic, rhythmically complex fusion of neo-soul, punk, and Latin jazz. Her vocal delivery bounds effortlessly between aggressive hip-hop cadences and soulful crooning, unpacking themes of Afro-Latina identity, systemic racism, and urban life. It garnered significant critical acclaim for its boundless energy and fiercely independent compositional structure.
