But they provide substance for a thousand and one listening pleasure. Great songwriting, animated, mysterious, captivating.

Musically versatile and thrillingly implemented in a tingling cocktail of deep soul, driving blaxploitation quotations, lounge jazz and groovy R & B, rounded off with a healthy pinch of pop. The songs are vital and rest in themselves. They sound mature, exude passion, dedication and determination. "Much of this album came from the moment," explains China Moses: "That's why it sounds so fresh. We wanted to make timeless music, something you can still hear in many years. It should sound as live as possible, and yet so condensed as in the old jazz songs. They were usually only two, three minutes long. Our album takes only 50 minutes. But there is everything in it. The long versions are there in the concert. "Supported by a strong band from London, with Luigi Grasso on alto and baritone saxophone, pianist Joe Armon Jones, Luke Wynter on the bass as well as Marijus Aleksa on drums. They form a foundation on which China can build Moses. A true soul diva with a distinctive musical character and pure energy in the voice.
