On her fourth studio album, Ringo Sheena delves deeper into her jazz roots. Heavy electric guitar and distorted bass and raw unprocessed vocals are replaced here by piano and sweeping strings and gentle crooning, with a couple big band arrangements that could sit unobtrusively in the middle of a Fred Astaire musical. This is NOT her usual modus operandi, but it sounds warm and active and complete and well-arranged all the same. She knows what she's doing, and she does it well.
