Inner Child

Bright, optimistic R&B defined by effortless coloratura soprano vocals and the rhythmic bounce of early 90s new jack swing. Pure sunshine on tape.

Moments Worth Listening For

The iconic four-note hum and playful giggle that opens I Love Your Smile.

The effortless transition into a glass-shattering whistle register during the bridge of Lovin' You.

The sudden shift from upbeat swing to the hushed, reverent vocal layers on Silent Prayer.
