Kicking it off with the electronic soother “Forgetting You” and moving through a musical journey of chilled grooves, live horns, keys and vocal snapshots laid over deep moving house beats. The album sways and slides between genres never setting on one place for too long whipping you from hypnotic electronica, to straight up classy house with stop offs at drum & bass, rocking leftfield rhythms and even cool jazz along the way.
