Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds
I’ve been listening to a lot of folksy pop lately, which I adore, but it’s always nice to plop something different into the CD player.
This is a very pleasant, soothing CD. I guess I’d call it somewhere between jazz and R&B with a touch of world beat thrown in.
Sumitra’s voice is lovely. It’s smooth, but smokey and sexy. Reminds me a little of Sade. Not that the voices are similar, they’re really not, it’s just that kind of sexy feel.
The instrumentation here is very professional, these people sound great together. Obviously all very talented musicians and writers.
The production is also first class, there’s a very warm, full feeling to this recording.
If you’re looking for something to ‘set the mood’ (if ya know what I mean) this is a good bet.
Stand out songs: Indian Girl, I Know it’s Late, I’m Afraid of the Dark (and no, I don’t only like songs that begin with the letter I, it just turned out that way).
