O’s Notes: Jocelyn has a clear articulated voice that she deploys on a wide variety of styles. She opens with a cool vibe on “Cosmic” followed by gentle poetry of the title track. We enjoyed a taste of bossa nova on “April 4th” with Medina scatting alongside Rodrigo Ursaia on flute and a strong bass solo from Aidan Carroll. There are several strong ballads and tunes like “Same Mistakes” with bouncy lyrics and piano riffs from Kristjan. Medina wrote all of the music and lyrics and some sound like classics already, a true validation of good music!
