Featuring vocalist Vuyo Sotashe and pianist/synth player Chris Pattishall, the project includes reinterpretations of songs such as “I’ll Look Around,” “I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good),” and a reimagined traditional South African choral piece, “Sylvia.” Produced by post-rock guitarist Rafiq Bhatia and Eric Oberstein, the work incorporates subtle psychedelic elements and sound design that contribute to its evocative atmosphere. The album reflects a nuanced emotional landscape, drawing comparisons to iconic artists like Aretha Franklin and Donny Hathaway in its spiritual expression. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Arts/Entertainment Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2026 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
