"If the point of a compilation is to bring to your attention artists you may never have heard of, then inspire you to look some of them up (...), then this does the trick. Do I like everything? No. Do I like a lot of it? Yes. I find it an interesting and varied selection, with two of my favourites being Lala Njava's track "Sweet Lullaby" and Chlopcy Kontra Basia Featuring Basia Derlak's track "Mam Ja Meza". Lala is from Madagascar and the song is timeless in many ways and captivating because of her lovely velvety voice. Basia Derlak is Polish and the track has a more modern setting with the voice juxtaposed with upright bass and percussion".
