It may have taken a little longer than anticipated, but this album is worth the wait. The concept is simple, we create and play music everyone will not only enjoy but will feel good about. No exception. The basic rhythm is very much tropical but peppered with universal influences, so we can stimulate everyone musical nerves. Listening to this music will create pleasant enjoyment in an instant.
