AdamaDelicate Dragon
Afro-British singer songwriter/UK kung fu champion, (Adama) is now an ‘English girl in New York.’ Her style reminds me of Sade w/ synthesized electronic adaptations to the music and vocals. I define it as a pop album discussing her personal struggles in love, destruction, and desire. The beauty of this designer record décor, created high expectations, and I am reminded yet again…”you can’t judge a book by looking at the cover.”

Rough Guide/W.M.N.
Latino Nuevo
: “This album includes many of the exciting and innovative Latin bands around today, offering a real insight into Latin music of the twenty-first century. A good number of these artists are self-produced and on independent labels, so there is an emphasis on discovery and exposure, and even through many of them have operated outside the mainstream o f European and American pop they have picked up the influences-jazz, folk, rock, soul and funk and combined them with their own.”-Rough Guide
