Speaking in tongues

"On seven of the nine tracks, Souza vocalizes wordlessly over a United Nations of rhythms: there are uptempo jams over a funky Afro-pop feel and somber instrumental ballads. The only lyrics she chooses to sing are two poems by songwriter/poet Leonard Cohen (...), which she has set to exquisite music ... Souza explores the full range of her creative impulses here. The visionary, startling result - a genre-bending conversation among master musicians - sounds like nothing Souza has done before".
