"Watch this pretty girl flow", her initiatory magma-coated declaration, comes off as both sassy standpoint and open challenge: Spalding's jazz-bass whiz-skillz fused with a consummate clan of choral harmonizers forge fluxes beauteous+knotty enough to melt your heart and dazzle the senses; and when fellow Berklee-affiliated gitaroo-man and decisive drummer-dudes are feelin' spunky, we get whiffs of wildness in the form of mathy-metal flourishes and lionhearted jerk-funk, the peaks of which leave your face chillin' in the same puddle as your ticker. Though some digging is required, lyrical acumen is also there for the taking -- the profoundest perhaps contained/cached in the sections of mile-a-minute spoken word and the plainest coming from the playful Willy Wonka-borrowed ender "I Want It Now", the latter's adamant demanding and conclusive guttural yelp presumably clues that she's seeking musical domination. Or normal ol world domination, either way.

Rooted in Jazz, Emily's D+Evolution did not take very long to win me over. In fact about twenty seconds in to be exact. Good Lava erupts out of the gate paves the way with raspy jazz-rock guitars, Spalding's groovy bass and signature vocal stylings. I feel like I need a break after that track, it surely isn't an accident that things get toned down a bit with Unconditional Love. After these two tracks it is obvious that Esperanza is an excellent songwriter and knows how to lay out quarters of an hour of music. Instrumentation all around is very fine but the album also shines rhythmically. Spalding's vocal cadences are key to her aggressive vocal approach and they are used to promote an almost proggy sense of rhythm. Always a nice feeling when Jazz fusion out rocks a vast majority of the prog rockers out there today. Jazz fusion, prog rock, psychadelic rock, funk, soul and pop all come to mind at times and the blend is smooth as silk.

Full of left turns and creative, imaginative instrumentation. A pure treat from beginning to end.
