I love this record, really.
I wouldn't characterize the vocals as diva-esque. It's generally jazzy
subdued vocals a la Sade. No hysterix or hystrionix. No rap (and there
was much rejoicing).
There are also jammingful instrumental cuts and sections.
As you sed, the beatz are sweetz -
What else could one expect from the KoldKut kids?
The record is worth hearing as a cross-over, lounging with a martini
between the jazz room and the triphopchillbox.
Eazy,
