Naked feet and warm sand, a salty breeze rustling in the leaves of the palm trees, the intoxicating gravity of an ice-cold bottle in the hand… jPattersson brings up nine shimmering pearls from the dubby depths of his repertoire and adds them to exactly this chain of associations. Mood gives expression to an unquenched thirst for musical innovation and to a growing maturity. While the soul of jPattersson still reverberates through the frequencies of his trumpet and his voice, his third album sounds all new and different again. About half of the tracks have a classic song structure, with all the ensuing catchiness. In-between these tunes there’s everything from tropical tipsiness to hypnotic depth. In consequence, it’s a wonderful album to listen to from beginning to end - and at the same time made for the dancefloor. A1: A Footstep On Mars A2: Zippelonika feat.
