Produced once again by Daniel "DJ Venom" Maunick (son of Incognito's Bluey), Sabrina's follow-up to 2005's "Equilibria" mixes retro jazz-soul with retooled bossa grooves, sounding not unlike an Incognito album itself, which is no bad thing.
Sabrina's pleasing but rather bland voice struggles on a version of Carole King's "It's Too Late", and the sequencing of the album is a little puzzling, with many of the best songs left to the end. But the arrangements for strings, brass and woodwind by the veteran Arthur Verocai on six of the 12 tracks are the real delight, adding rare distinction.
